Match

Los Angeles Football Club are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 21 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

A row about effort at Los Angeles Football Club

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Timothy Tillman

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

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Kenny Nielsen 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Jacob Shaffelburg plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The Amin Boudri question follows Los Angeles Football Club around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Amin Boudri’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

A row about effort at Los Angeles Football Club

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

The dugout

Mathieu Choinière 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Thomas Hasal 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.

Squad

Los Angeles Football Club are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Denis Bouanga 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 Denis Bouanga is on it.

The dugout

Ryan Hollingshead is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Philadelphia Union, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

No mercy from Los Angeles Football Club

Real Salt Lake will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Los Angeles Football Club were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and Danny Musovski takes the afternoon — 7.76

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Danny Musovski provided it, and the 7.76 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Heung-Min Son yet — 8.27

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.27 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match

Los Angeles Football Club make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Los Angeles Football Club have 4 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Nkosi Tafari goes up and wins it — 7.60

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.60 for the rest of it.

Market

So close: Thomas Hasal’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. New York City moved on, Thomas Hasal reports back to Los Angeles Football Club, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Hugo Lloris 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.

Player ratings

Mark Delgado beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Heung-Min Son, 34, rolls back the years — 8.27

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.27 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Boardroom

Los Angeles Football Club close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Hugo Lloris 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 Los Angeles Football Club hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Danny Musovski

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Los Angeles Football Club have done the hard part with Seattle Sounders, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Boardroom

Thomas Hasal has agreed to leave Los Angeles Football Club for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Sergi Palencia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sergi Palencia commits to Los Angeles Football Club for another 4 years.

Squad

Igor Jesus wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Los Angeles Football Club can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Amin Boudri 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.

Market

Los Angeles Football Club promote Dylan Musah from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dylan Musah 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.
