The LA Galaxy Gazette
Match19 Aug 2026
Cup progress for LA Galaxy
A 1‑0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

A one-man rearguard from Brady Scott
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Vintage Marco Reus — 8.22
At 37 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.22, and nobody on the pitch better.
Squad24 Aug 2026
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.
Squad24 Aug 2026
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.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Deadline beats LA Galaxy to Nelson Quiñones
The clock did what Houston Dynamo would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
One of their own: Gio Wright
He is 16 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
LA Galaxy find a way past Austin FC
Austin FC made LA Galaxy work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Joseph Paintsil
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joseph Paintsil, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Squad Gio Wright stays put
- The dugout A satisfied Josh Dempsey
- The dugout Sergi Roberto gets picked when it counts
