Moog I hear what you're saying and I'd like to take a hard look at the bigger picture. Perhaps the club does not want to bring unwanted attention to their fans, attending. You don't want to be the girl that kicked the hornet's nest, yes? Good on, LAFC, tho. Lead by example.
The whole thing is messy and if it helps I will be attending the thingy tomorrow at City Hall. Me: In Yves Lauren vintage sparkle sunglasses, trying not to die.
To keep things light: Would love it if someone wore a duck jersey, because they are anti-kings. =)

*laughing* No ducks Jerseys' seen but a was awash of funny T-shirts. Mine was a funny shirt but it was not on brand for the event, it was just clean and folded at the top of the pile in the drawer. "Shake, Shake, Shake,Señora."
USA gets 5 on TNT. I know it's TNT, but it does feel good to walk away with plus a clean sheet.
Momentum?
Meanwhile the G's find a way to grab a draw from the jaws of victory on the road.
MLS is a clown show....10 minutes of stoppage time?!?!?
Team is MUCH better when slow Fagundez is on the bench.
I'm not hating, but he does slow the attack. Watching Reus cook unimpeded is really ice.
Paintsil is massively underperforming for a DP. Dude is just out of sync. To me it seems like he tried to turn into Pec an be a one on one dribble machine.....which means he turns over the ball constantly.
Paintsill excels when he can use his speed alone. I'd like to see another match without Fagundez starting, and see if it speeds up the attack and counters. Perhaps this will improve Painstil's game.
Edit: ...and can we start Garces again?!?!? Watching Yoshida and Znak "try" to run back to goal from midfield to catch Klaus on his game winner was ....well....Galaxy football.
Bright side: Unbeaten streak now at two!

They're worried about being put into an ICE detention center if they win? Any group the US is in is now automatically the Group of Death?
Yes, but not for the reason you think.

We were having such a nice time. *sigh*
When I lived in Hawaii, there used to be protests in the town I lived in about no ice in paradise. In Hawaii the slang for Meth is Ice. I had to ask a lot of people what this meant. Anyway...
USMNT "b" team undefeated in group!! Who woulda thunk it?
Tillman continues to be a standout. He may have secured his spot.
Chris Richards continues to be a bright spot.
USA has an "easier" route....let's hope they can build on the momentum and get the decision against Costa Rica.

Yeah they could've looked much, much worse.
Well done G's!
There was one play early on when Paintsill had the ball on the left with plenty of space, Pec was wide open on the right waving his hands. One cross and Pec would have had a ready made goal. Paintsill just dribbled to no where, made a short pass and eventually the ball was lost as expected. Microcosm of it all.

Can't believe I waited through the storm delay to watch that match.....ugh!
This club is just plain bad.
Defense is laughable.
Offense is listless.
Vanney has no new ideas....just keep slamming the square pegs into the Vanney Ball round holes.
Yoshida is washed....his body can't do it anymore.
Paintsil looks like and "average" MLS winger. No longer playing anything like a DP.
Reus looks frustrated with the team...nobody is on the same page as him.
Pec is trying to do "everything" and it's killing his game.
The entire midfield is so disjointed. Really lacks a competent 8.
Honestly...and this seems weird.... (perhaps because it's being viewed through the clubs really poor performances) there are very few players on this roster that I wouldn't even care if they were moved.
.....and this is one year after winning MLS Cup.
2025 Galaxy is a masterclass in poor roster creation by the GM, combined with a one dimensional manager.

...and they said he was going to come to MLS for peanuts for the opportunity to play against the GOAT.
Ronaldo and the Saudi's:
