Wondering what everyone is thinking re John Nelson’s impact this season. Cards on the table I’m not a julien Aude fan his play style is way too inconsistent for me always falling over and for me losing possession of the ball. To my point I think Nelson has been a revelation and could see him fulfilling a role for galaxy for a few years. However all the chit chat on corner of the galaxy is that Nelson has been good but that he’ll probably be moved on for cash as the galaxy’s long term view is Aude is the future. This is a huge mistake in my view Nelson is and will be a much better player than Aude . What’s everyone else’s feelings on this I feel if Galaxy were to move Nelson on it’d be a super bad decision.

Almost a week after the #lagalaxy won #mlscup, the emotions, amped-up feelings, & celebrations have subsided. It's without exaggeration or hyperbole then when it's said the Galaxy is one of the best #MLS teams of all time. My latest for Extra Time Talk!

Most concerning for future opponents is that Reus wasn't fully fit against Atlanta. After the win, the veteran admitted that he was "dead [tired] after a couple of minutes," and yet, he still picked up an assist and goal without much trouble.

Alex Ruiz crafted a terrific ode to a true legend. Great job, Alex!

"We are in talks with the Galaxy for a contract extension, but personally and in terms of ambition, I would like to return to Europe. However, I must also say that I am feeling very comfortable here, thoroughly enjoying my football, which I hadn't done in a long time," said Puig.

Thoughts?

When I first saw this it made sense because he hasn’t been starting and even Berry got subbed on before him. Maybe galaxy will let him go. But just not to Moscow. Thoughts?

We all know it is highly unlikely Greg Vanney will make any changes to the line up for Seattle on Saturday night given the demolition inflicted on Minnesota and our steamroller form in the playoffs so far.

However Seattle for me are going to be a much different proposition . I feel we need Delgado over Reus to start in this game ,Delgado work rate is unsurpassed and I feel is needed for what is going to be
Our toughest challenge so far. The other change is like is Fagundez for Paintsil. I’m already awaiting the calls to lay off the recreational drugs. I just feel Paintsil will be too easily wound up in this game and Seattle have some savvy players who will do that. I get the whole killer P’s chit chat but I feel Paintsil only comes onto his game when we’re dominating a team. He seldom takes on a player 1v1 preferring to play backwards a lot almost like he lacks confidence. The other issue is he gets so easily riled by decisions.

Not expecting any changes but anyone else thinking we need to adapt the lineup for the very different challenge of Seattle?

Hi all,

I'm a UK-based amateur football writer. With MLS growing in popularity yet receiving very little press in the UK, I'm endeavouring to get some more MLS content out on my blog.

Here's an article I've written about Carlos Ruiz - again, a player who is hardly known at all in Europe despite holding the all time record for most goals scored in World Cup Qualifying games. I think it's an interesting story and one I've been wanting to cover for a while.

Appreciate any reads of the post and feedback. For the record, my team is LAFC but very much coming in peace and with a greater goal of promoting MLS!

That's three games (9 pts). I'm not comfortable starting Berry for all 3 let alone any of them.

lagalaxy fans, enjoy some Sunday reading! Mark your calendars & make your travel plans because the #mls schedule dropped this week. In my latest, we look at key takeaways & what the most essential LA Galaxy matches for 2025 are.
