Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.
No English club has ever won the Quadruple, the three domestic trophies (league, FA Cup, Carabao Cup) plus the Champions League, but Liverpool are still in the running for it this season after demolishing Tottenham's injury-riddled side yesterday. Arne Slot has come in to what was expected to be a transition year and might make it the best year ever for the club.
MLS updates as the NY Red Bulls strengthen their backline by adding Chilean international Marcelo Morales and veteran center back Tim Parker.
Hernán Múñoz has been linked with a departure from the San Jose Earthquakes, but it involves Foster Gillett and it's very complicated.

However reports surfaced yesterday that he is behind in payments for players to clubs and we'll just have to see where all of this goes.
Luciano Acosta was a player linked with a move to Estudiantes, but it hasn't happened yet. He expressed his unhappiness in Cincinnati to reporter Laurel Pfahler and we'll have to see if things can be repaired.
FA Cup 4th Round takes place this weekend, along with a 1 vs 2 matchup at the top in La Liga between Real Madrid and Atleti.
