Squad

A row about effort at San Diego Football Club

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jeppe Tverskov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Manu Duah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Manu Duah and San Diego Football Club agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Amahl Pellegrino in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at San Diego Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Osvald Søe gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Elias Achouri linked with a move away

The name of Elias Achouri keeps appearing in other people's back pages. San Diego Football Club say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Somebody is after Aníbal Godoy’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Aníbal Godoy suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. San Diego Football Club have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Squad

A month that belonged to Manu Duah

The young player of the month award goes to a 21-year-old at San Diego Football Club who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

Squad

Wilson Eisner in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at San Diego Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

San Diego Football Club tear San Jose Earthquakes apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑0 against San Jose Earthquakes, and it could have been more.

Squad

A day Gabriel Pirani will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad

Words at San Diego Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jeppe Tverskov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

The drought breaks for San Diego Football Club

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and San Jose Earthquakes were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Anders Dreyer at his very best

Marked 8.25. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at San Diego Football Club.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Elias Achouri at his very best

Marked 8.14. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at San Diego Football Club.

Player ratings

Gabriel Pirani was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at San Diego Football Club

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Loan watch

Duran Ferree wants to come home

“I did not go to Chicago Fire to sit and watch. I want to come back to San Diego Football Club and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

In brief

  • Player ratings Nothing got past Manu Duah
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Pedro Soma

Match

A 2-goal lead gone for San Diego Football Club

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Minnesota United FC kept coming because nothing stopped them, and San Diego Football Club will be asked about the last half hour all week.

The dugout

CJ dos Santos keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” San Diego Football Club may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

A brace, and Anders Dreyer takes the afternoon — 9.09

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Anders Dreyer provided it, and the 9.09 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Elias Achouri beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

No end in sight to San Diego Football Club's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at San Diego Football Club has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Aníbal Godoy in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at San Diego Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at San Diego Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jeppe Tverskov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

San Diego Football Club and Minnesota United FC take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

An own goal to forget for Bryce Duke

The one goal a footballer does not get to celebrate and does not get to forget either. His name is in the wrong column and nothing about it was meant.

Match

A hiding for San Diego Football Club

Beaten 0‑5 by Los Angeles Football Club, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

CJ dos Santos stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Aníbal Godoy falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

San Diego Football Club lose Marcus Ingvartsen

50 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jeppe Tverskov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Doors closed at San Diego Football Club

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

A falling-out at San Diego Football Club

Wilson Eisner and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑5 defeat, delivered by David Moore to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Onni Valakari beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 12. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
