00:00where we dive into the top off-field stories making waves into the soccer world. Let's jump
00:05right into it. And we start in Spain, Vinicius Junior, who has been crucial for both club and
00:10country, will miss the upcoming international break as he recovers. The injury has raised
00:15concerns in Brazil, where fans are hoping he'll be back to full strength before the next round
00:19of World Cup qualifiers in November. They're going to really need him. Real Madrid, meanwhile,
00:24will miss his flare on the left wing as they prepare for crucial fixtures in both La Liga
00:29and Champions League. After stepping down as Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp is set to take
00:34on a new role as Red Bull's global head of soccer. Starting in January, Klopp will be overseeing the
00:41sporting philosophy and development across Red Bull's clubs, including RB Leipzig and New York
00:47Red Bulls. This move marks a significant departure for Klopp, moving from the pressures of coaching
00:53to a broader role shaping the future of multiple clubs. Could this be a prelude to a potential
00:59role with the German national team down the line? Maybe. Only time will tell, and also the clause
01:04that says that that's the only way that he can get out of this job. From underdogs to history makers,
01:09the Orlando Pride have defied expectation in the NWSL this season, clinching the regular season
01:15title with a league record 57 points. It all started with a piece of paper in a players-only
01:21meeting predicting a 54-point season. Seven months later, they've exceeded that, and now
01:27they're three games away from an unbeaten season, a record never done before. Liverpool's and their
01:33hopes to be champions have taken a hit with the news that Alisson, their goalkeeper, will be
01:38sidelined for at least a month due to a hamstring injury. Liverpool, who currently sits at a point
01:44ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, face tough matches against Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton
01:49in Alisson's absence. This injury also keeps Alisson out of Brazil's World Cup qualifiers
01:55against Chile and Peru, adding to the pressure of the Brazilian national team. And now we go to
02:01MLS, where Inter Miami's Diego Gomez has been named the top player in the 22-under-22 list,
02:07solidifying his reputation as one of the league's brightest talents. The Paraguayan attacker has been
02:13a game-changer for Miami, contributing three goals and seven assists in just 18 appearances.
02:19His standout performances have helped Miami remain unbeaten in 17 of those matches,
02:25making him a key figure in their playoff push.
