MLS Thread: 2019 Edition

[Terry Yake]

There were some Galaxy fans after our loss again against the Quakes that our true rivalry is with them rather than LAFC, but they were making it seem like our rivalry with them is like Liverpool-Everton. Yes we have a history with them, but its been really tame the past couple of years since Beckham retired. But it does bother me when LAFC fans say they are more "Los Angeles" than us even though its a 20 minute drive down 1 freeway to get to the other stadium. The league and these teams are still young. Plenty of time before these rivalries reach the level of the ones in Europe. Like you said the Timbers/Sounders goes all the way back the old NASL days in the 70s do that goes back a couple of generations.

yeah LAFC fans are such lames

the whole "carson galaxy" thing is so cringey. by their logic the clippers were the only true LA bball team during the 80s and 90s because they played in LA and not the lakers because they played in inglewood

MLS rivalries are pretty lame for the most part

timbers-sounders and galaxy-quakes are the only true rivalries to me because there's actually history between the teams

nyrb-nyfc for example is basically just the fanbases going at it over who "owns new york." which is basically where the lafc-galaxy rivalry is at currently (although it definitely has the potential to become a real rivalry.) its pretty much just lafc fans claiming they're the real LA team because the galaxy play in carson

Um, us and the DC Scum were probably the first real rivalry in the history of MLS. They are our real rivals.

I don't know about that. DC actually won trophies.

 

[John Price]

Lot of talk about how MLS and their potential ranking compared to the rest of the world.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

First Steve Nash with Whitecaps and now Harden. Maybe Lebron will buy stake in Columbus Crew next.

They've yet to beat us so far. Not saying we'll win, but if there's anything I've learned from the 3 games last year is that it never goes the way you'd expect.

Basically what that means is instead of it being 4/5-0 it will be 7/8-0.

 

[kingsboy11]

I'm ready. I believe in this team and I've learned to never doubt Zlatan.

 

[kingsboy11]

****ing Alvarez was a disaster of signing. Hasn't done **** since he got there and clearly wasn't up for this game. ****ing bull****

 

[kingsboy11]

Zlatan!!!!!!! Never doubt this man!!!! He eats haters for breakfast!!!

 

[Cassano]

MLS is old man zlatans playground.

 

[kingsboy11]

That was the best half we've played in weeks. I'm telling you this team gets up for LAFC.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

What an amazing goal from Zlatan.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Wow!

 

[kingsboy11]

Lion or Ferrari. It doesn't matter. Zlatan is simply the best.

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Zlatan is a Ferrari, guys. Simple as that.

What is the point of VAR if you're not going to use it? Vela looked like he was clearly offside on that last goal, but whatever. Massive win for this team and you better believe this team is LAFC's head. They clearly don't have an answer for us.

The game was almost over, with Galaxy assured victory.

Waste of time.

Yeah and it was pretty close, but I'd like to get the call right even at the end of the game. Not the end of the world given the result.

 

[sabremike]

Ha ha f*** you zombie goats!!!! ESC owns NY, LARS owns LA and all is right with the world.

 

[Terry Yake]

lol all that "vela is better than zlatan" BS sure disappeared fast

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Ha ha **** you zombie goats!!!! ESC owns NY, LARS owns LA and all is right with the world.

lmao why do you care?

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

The first goal was pure art, three perfect touches.
