After Dark! A fallen TikTok duo, Chivas get a new Cade Cowell & much more

In this series, we capture the same After Dark energy that permeates late-night soccer games in the United States. There’s no shortage of crazy things happening in and around this sport — and we’re bringing some of the most entertaining ones straight to you.
