Squad

7 saves: JT Marcinkowski was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

A falling-out at LA Galaxy

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

Match

A bad afternoon for LA Galaxy against Vancouver Whitecaps

0‑1 to Vancouver Whitecaps, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Josh Musah answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings

Hirving Lozano was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Justin Haak suspended

One booking too many, and Justin Haak sits out. LA Galaxy lose him for the sort of avoidable reason that makes a manager's week longer.

Squad

A first team debut at 16 for Ryan Turner

Off the academy pitches and into a senior shirt, at 16. The parents in the stand will keep the programme, and so will he.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Joseph Paintsil

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout

Riqui Puig gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Riqui Puig is on it.

Match

The cup run ends for LA Galaxy

1‑1 against San Jose Earthquakes, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

Brady Scott is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Brady Scott: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Marco Reus yet — 8.06

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.06 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

A row about effort at LA Galaxy

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

Transfer targets

The window shuts on the D.J. Taylor deal

LA Galaxy ran out of time with Minnesota United FC. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad

Words exchanged at LA Galaxy

John Nelson and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Marco Reus the difference as LA Galaxy beat Austin FC

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Marco Reus. 2‑0 against Austin FC, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Tucker Lepley — 6.75

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 11 actions, 6.75, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Joseph Paintsil at his very best

Marked 8.01. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at LA Galaxy.
