David Beckham's Inter Miami have been fined a record $2m (£1.4m) for breaking Major League Soccer (MLS) rules.
An investigation was launched last year over the signing of France midfielder Blaise Matuidi from Juventus in 2020.
The MLS ruled last month that Inter Miami had breached regulations and announced its punishment on Friday.
The MLS said Matuidi had been paid more than was allowed, effectively giving the team four "designated players" last season rather than the permitted three.
How poor are Inter Miami. Bottom of the MLS with just 8 points from 11 games, they are 4-0 down at half time at home to New England. Will Beckham sack his mate Phil Neville?
When Neville was hired saw loads of comments on twitter about jobs for mates.
I said at the the time, what people dont realise is whilst thats all well and good, Beckham is only 1 person and when things go wrong, being friends with Beckham isnt gonna save Neville and no doubt it will be Beckham who has to sack him, which will be a horrible conversation to have with your friend lol
Former Man Utd defender Gabriel Heinze was appointed as the new manager of Atlanta, hopefully he can bring back the touch the last Argentinian had and it will be a good season for the 5 stripes
This didnt last btw.
He was sacked a few days ago, a number of off field issues as well as on field performances.
Some of the off field stuff that have come out tho, limiting the amount of water player had in training to levels were the club doctor was forced to intervene, forcing players to have phones on 24/7 and be available whenever he needed them 🤣🤣

Johnny Russell plays for KC and was the best player in the pitch. Scored a cracker.
2-0 down at HT, came back to win 2-3. Now sitting in the playoffs!
Philadelphia Union vs New York Red Bulls (19.30 GMT)
Sporting Kansas City vs Vancouver Whitecaps (22.00 GMT)
Then BWP retweeted my next tweet
So all in all probably my best day on twitter 🤣🤣
