OG thanks for doing these threads
Glad to do it

LAG has been slipping of late - had a great run through June & July but haven't won since. Sounds familiar - so far 3 teams have had 3+ game not winning streaks snap when playing us - Orlando, Minnesota, Portland.
The Gals look a lot like us defensively & in attack. Should be goals. Zlatan is having quite the season. They need the win as everybody around them has games in hand - he only seems to avoid turf game travels.
I'm at the point now where I'm going try to forget standings and just enjoy matches but think a TFC win finishes the Galaxy.Looking forward to seeing Ibra, wonder if there is any truth the the Egypt talk.
Yes each match now is more important than a position in the standings.
We are trying to enjoy the moment, the players and the tradition . . .
He does have a song though

Galaxy just fired their coach... so there’s that.
Great, now they will get the new(ish) coach bounce. Well, its Dom Kinnear so maybe that will wear off during the plane ride to TO.Quote:

Tough being Sigi lately.
Officially it was a "collective decision" per the club i.e. he was given the opportunity to resign. If he didn't, he would be fired.Quote:

I actually think he's not responsible for the team's failings. Rather it is poor roster construction and some bad deals. I don't anticipate a fast turnaround, even if they got Wenger (who I believe would do well in MLS).
Gone are the days when the league would do all that they could to support the Galaxy, there's new poster boys to promote MLS.
I'm not sure, not 100% at fault because he hasn't been around that long. However he had full authority on all roster decisions this year is what has been reported. I think his time has simply passed.Quote:

FWIW, LAG twitter isn't happy at all with their current brain trust, who see them as bringing in the mess that got their coach fired in 2017, and as culpable for bringing in Schmid & Kinnear.
Of course this means nothing for Saturday - we might be facing a team hell bent on proving a point or a team as fragile as our defence.
One of the biggest names in sport will be in our city this weekend. Let's see how "world class" our newspapers are, and if they will write anything about him or will they have another full page on the CFL or an up and coming Blue Jay playing single A.
To be fair, the CFL and Blue Jays have more place in our city’s newspapers than a visit by a player who plays for a team that has nothing to do with the city...Quote:

The media is a lost cause for coverage.
Zlatan is known by soccer fans. Will they show up on Saturday just for him? Well, Gerrard people showed up 2 years ago & he didn't even make the flight. Will see.
A casual soccer fan in this city may go just to see him in the flesh.
I'd say Zlatan is known beyond just fans of the game, i've talked to people this week who have mentioned him but couldn't tell you who Marky Delgado is. Those same people probably didn't even know who Gerrard was.Quote:

Damn, the apathy is real.
Just like when Pirlo and Gerrard visited, I expect to see a few casual Ibra shirts at BMO, especially withe the Hollywood weather.
No Moor. No Mavinga. Oh well....
It’s crazy what a decent lineup and some rest can do —- It’s sad to think of what could have been had they been healthy —- will be interesting to see whether they play the “A” lineup on Wednesday (or not) for that Campeones Cup game?!
Innebrati outside the stadium waving their flags on the North side
Double Vee, Joz-ehhh, Seba...couldn't ask for a better start. g:D
And that goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, well that was a world class strike. Nothing Bono could have done to stop it. Congrats on your 500th career goal.
meh, played so well in the first half then let the foot off the gas, dont have a strong D so we need to have a strong attack, but where did it go
Wow is it dead in here.
Anyway what a goal by Zlatan!
I swear this game is an exact representation of where MLS is as a league. They have forwards, strikers and attacking talent the quality of mid table la lagia. Midfields the quality of lower league la liga and defense and center backs the quality of 2nd tier England
Well I don’t even know where to start on that.
I am highly entertained though!
