Age has not caught Kyogo Furuhashi yet — 8.15
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.15 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Joseph Paintsil wants more than LA Galaxy are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jakob Glesnes and LA Galaxy agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

John Pepi steps up from the LA Galaxy academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. John Pepi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

LA Galaxy promote Mark Reyna from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mark Reyna has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
