The dugout

Elijah Wynder keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” LA Galaxy may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

João Klauss 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 LA Galaxy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Hirving Lozano 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.

The dugout

Carlos Garcés knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at LA Galaxy, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

João Klauss linked with a move away

The name of João Klauss keeps appearing in other people's back pages. LA Galaxy say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Hirving Lozano goes off with his country

A call-up flatters the player and the club that produced him in the same breath. LA Galaxy would like him back in one piece and know they will not be consulted.

Squad

Harbor Miller damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

LA Galaxy run riot against Austin FC

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

A brace, and Hirving Lozano takes the afternoon — 8.86

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Hirving Lozano provided it, and the 8.86 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Sergi Roberto yet — 7.91

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.91 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

A falling-out at LA Galaxy

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

Transfer targets

No deal for D.J. Taylor at that price

LA Galaxy offered $520.0K; Minnesota United FC said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Words at LA Galaxy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas Sanabria 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Lucas Sanabria

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Hirving Lozano at the heart of a fast LA Galaxy start

3 goals inside twenty minutes with Hirving Lozano in the middle of it, and Austin FC unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Hirving Lozano

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

Club America tell LA Galaxy: Alejandro Zendejas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Marco Reus signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marco Reus commits to LA Galaxy for another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at LA Galaxy

João Klauss 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.

Market

Joseph Paintsil wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at LA Galaxy hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Market

Carlos Garcés wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words at LA Galaxy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hirving Lozano 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.

Boardroom

Ibrahim Aliyu will join LA Galaxy for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Ibrahim Aliyu has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means LA Galaxy have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

Late, late show earns LA Galaxy a point

Minute 92, against FC Dallas, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
