Ha Bruce;
Have your Coaches just look at the last two Games. Don't over analyse.
Look at the personnel. If they could just improve a little "average it out" what wold that do?
20,000 good attendance wasn't it. Probably the game that I should have came to.

LAFC has made Mexican forward Carlos Vela their first big signing. Buying him from Real Sociedad. I assume the deal will start in January.

• How will this work with notorious Vela butts heads with Bob Bradley? Vela is known for laziness and disrespect to managers. Bradley is known for no bullshit policies.

The growth of MLS is real. By Ken Belson for the New York Times.

• Clearly fake news.
• Seriously though, there are a lot of flaws in MLS and one helluva long way to go for this league to be declared truly successful.
