Decision Day has not been kind to the LA Galaxy.
An infamous collapse at home to the Houston Dynamo in 2018 sunk their postseason hopes that year, the sight of Zlatan Ibrahimovic sulking on the bench after his team’s capitulation the lingering memory of the downside of “Decision Day” as a concept.
Although LA made the playoffs the following season, they faltered in an abbreviated 2020 campaign, and with a new coach, a remade roster and a full season this year, things were supposed to be different.
Despite being in a playoff spot all season, the same sinking feeling came to dunk on the Galaxy’s season this year, as what looked like a good enough 3-3 draw between LA and Minnesota United at Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday ended up being just short of what the home side needed.
