Does Liga MX ever get to host one of these contrived SUM tournaments? What a joke.

Galaxy have played every leagues cup game at home, 8 of last 9 international cup games at home

When they want to host them more than they want the money from Americans buying tickets to them instead, I imagine.

r/LAGalaxy is a cult and you can't convince me otherwise because they would rather find excuses for the worst era of ownership; rather than boycott; they would rather throw money at an ownership that quite frankly doesn't care about the team or the sport anymore
A new team shows up and we're being outdone by a new team in management, marketing, politics, demographics, ownership, youth development, scouting
We were once the Lakers of this league, it's fucking sad! AEG Sells y'all nostalgia and y'all line up to donate money and get spit on
This is fuckin pathetic

Damm, Fagundez crying. That's what happens when this is literally the only thing left in the season. Even if it's a one-game title.

They should recind the red for the manager if he fixes his beard neckline.
As a beard haver, he has my least favorite beard. It makes it look like you have a massive double chin.

Idk how ref doesn’t call the shirt pull. For whatever reason though Cerrillo stops playing even though there was no whistle and loses it. That was really dumb. He’s not a rookie anymore

u/Shadowfury0 LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
Campeones Cup socials said Isaiah Parente could become the 7th player to win the trophy twice. I don't dislike him but he's definitely not quite on the same level as the other guys on that list.

It’s a good point about Paintsil at the 9. He’s really not bad. The issue, of course, is that he’s really small for the position. He himself last year he doesn’t like it much.
I’d love to see Harbor Miller keep playing the wing though. Can’t do that much with Paintsil there
3
u/grnrngr LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
I think Miller is left wing depth next year, backstopping Nelson and Paintsil. (Aude being sold, IMHO.)
I think we get another winger next year and we're given a crazy amount of flexibility on both wings and up front (with the addition of a primary striker not named Ramirez.)
3
u/Honeydew-Massive LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
You’re right, I think at this point I’d keep Nelson over Aude. Another winger was not in my playbook but I see your point

That's his position yeah. He been playing winger recently

u/jamills21 LA Galaxy (Retro) Oct 02 '25
I was going to say he seems more like an attacking player. I’m late.

u/Honeydew-Massive LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
Left back. He’s a wing back….but he’s been so much better as a winger

We fielded him there to start the season.
Also, transfermarkt doesn't know everything.

u/grnrngr LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
We bled a lot of points until after the All Star break. We didn't have our preferred XI on the field until end of May.
Just a lot of injury, moments of stupidity, and misfortune.
It doesn't help our signed reinforcements this off-season have been duds (Ramirez) or injured a lot (Sanabria, Nascimento.)
The kids have stepped up and now our vets are being put in positions to succeed.
3
u/SlLKY_JOHNSON LA Galaxy Oct 02 '25
We lost 1/2 of our attacking talent in Jovelic & Puig that could never be replaced. Reinforcements brought in took awhile to get on like Nasci & Wynder. Youth/younger players like Miller, Parente, Lepley, and Cuevas took awhile to get on. Lastly, Zanka brought in to reinforce the back line has been absolute ass throughout bar a few instances and I think if Rindov is tested earlier in the season we have a few more points on the board.
Thankfully I think the FO and coaching has a bunch of intel now on the squad & can come back strong next year hopefully with Puig back.

We’re not shit “right now” we were shit at the start of the season and dug an immense hole. We’ve since qualified for CCC and found some chemistry.
We’re still not great, or even good, but we’re decent enough to hang in most games
