Love this little detail in the buildup to the goal that the TNT crew examined @ halftime - Luna's no speed merchant, but he sold the HELL out of that feint at a run in behind, thus buying himself acres of space in which to advance, then play the thru ball

The biggest problem MLS has right now isn't the quality of play, the stars, the vibrant atmospheres, gorgeous stadiums or its explosive growth.

It's how American soccer fans perceive the league. My latest for El Trafico TV🚦

Fantastic quote from Galaxy CSO Will Kuntz on RBNY's developmental chops. Get the feeling that's coming next for LA as part of Kuntz's club rebuild project.

And fwiw, there is no greater service he could render to US soccer as a whole than getting that SoCal talent pipeline open.
This quote from LAG GM Will Kuntz is something. #RBNY

I’ve barely tweeted about LAFC and the Galaxy lately, mostly because my mind’s been yelling “Hurry up and play Minnesota already” the past two weeks.

The international break is a MLS Cup playoffs momentum killer.
