Sounders at LA Galaxy: Gamethread with updates
There was a time when the LA Galaxy were the best in the league. They dominated as few have in MLS. That time is four coaches ago now. Instead of bossing the league, LA is flailing about wondering how to resurface into relevance. Now coached by Dominic Kinnear (their second former Sounder as a head coach in a row), the Galaxy don’t have an identity beyond Zlatan.
Seattle Sounders do have an identity — strong defense, grit, willpower and taking the first half of the season to figure things out. Though they are no longer in a win streak, they only have a single loss since June 30. They haven’t lost by two goals or more since June 2. The dark times are over, now they are full of light and hope.
