Adrian Wibowo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Adrian Wibowo commits to Los Angeles Football Club for another 5 years.

Adrian Wibowo 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 Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The Sergi Palencia story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Sergi Palencia signs something — a contract at Los Angeles Football Club or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Los Angeles Football Club turn down Banfield for Denis Bouanga

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Mathieu Choinière keeps the receipts

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

Heung-Min Son 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 Los Angeles Football Club this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ryan Hollingshead signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ryan Hollingshead and Los Angeles Football Club agree another 2 years.

Is this Ryan Hollingshead’s last season?

“I will know when it is time. I am not there yet.” Ryan Hollingshead is 35, with 3 appearances behind him, and Los Angeles Football Club will have to plan for whichever answer comes.

Igor Jesus puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Los Angeles Football Club, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Heung-Min Son was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Still no signature from Heung-Min Son

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Los Angeles Football Club could get for him.

Heung-Min Son runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

No hiding place for Hugo Lloris

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hugo Lloris, and the manager let it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Los Angeles Football Club come up short against Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

The one thing Denis Bouanga could not do

Shots: 11, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A day to forget for Igor Jesus

Marked 5.60, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Eddie Segura

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 35 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

A defender's afternoon for Stephen Eustáquio

Defensive actions: 29. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Remember the name: Amin Boudri

He is 21, he is averaging 7.04, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Artem Smolyakov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

One of those days for Ryan Porteous

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match12 Sep 2026

Los Angeles Football Club get the job done against Sporting Kansas City

A 2‑0 win over Sporting Kansas City, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Amin Boudri in the eights

A performance of 8.57 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Mathieu Choinière

“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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ryan Porteous is off the mark for Los Angeles Football Club

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
