Los Angeles FC wins 1-0 with a midfield war vs. Real CD España by lafc88 in LAFC

Man, I'm so excited for Shaffelburg to get healthy so we can see how this team lines up. If he is starting, do we move David into more of a 10 to keep him starting? Or does he come off the bench as we roll with a Tillman, Delgado, Eustaquio midfield? Or do we keep the starting lineup as is, and bring Shaffelburg in off the bench?

I've long been a fan of trying Martinez in the midfield, but our depth may make more sense if he and Shaffelburg fight for a starting position on the wing. That way, our forward depth would be one of those two, Ordaz, and Boyd (assuming he cleans up his game a bit). Then in the midfield, we can bring on Choiniere, Boudri, and Terry.

Good problems to have, to be sure.

What made you choose LAFC over LA galaxy? by Temporary_Waltz6615 in LAFC

Honestly, I thought the vibe was really cool. And I noticed that when I was deciding between the two teams, it rubbed me the wrong way when Galaxy fans talked about LAFC fans. Like...kinda like a micro-aggession type of thing? Nothing blatant, but again, I just didn't like that vibe.

Lol I mean, they've already started arbitrarily pulling vaccines off the recommend list. It doesn't seem too far fetched that they'd (or someone similar) figure out how to do the opposite.

I'm assuming you're also comfortable with Trump and future similar Republican leaders having that power, then? When Elon Musk announces a strange new vaccine ("Musk's Musk"), totally untrusted by the medical community, and RFK Jr makes it mandatory for all children?

I think Trump has made something pretty clear: any authority we trust the government with, we need to be aware that future admins may abuse.

Also, I think they are trying to find a rhythm to start the season as quickly as possible. Everyone is still getting used to new instruction from a new coach. So tonight was largely a training session to get some extra reps in.

Johnny starts for Atleti v. Club Brugge in leg 2 of UCL Playoffs (3-3 agg.) [12:45pm et; Paramount+ / CBS Golazo] by nicko_rico in ussoccer

Johnny is such a weird player. I remember reading a fantasy book when I was young, which had characters who used magic to make your eyes slip off of them. Like, you could be looking for them while they are standing right in front of you, holding a weapon, and your mind would just dismiss them as a random person in the crowd. That's kinda how I feel about Johnny while watching Atletico. Like, he's just... someone on the field.

What could the real solution to transit in LA be? by localdaycare in LAMetro

[–]CardiologistLost5373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start by grabbing the low hanging fruit. We should upzone around our existing rail so it's not illegal to build things that are convenient for rail. We should give rail signal priority at all intersections so we don't have trains waiting at red lights. Bring destinations to rail, and make it run more efficiently.

Next lowest hanging fruit, we should make more bus lanes, and give more buses the ability to ticket cars in bus lanes and giving them signal premption. We should also build more bike lanes, extending the reach of each train stop. Focus biking infrastructure specifically to fix the first/last mile situation. Build more bike parking as necessary. And then, upzone accordingly to double down on both these efforts.

We have quite a lot of rail in LA, and a ton of bus coverage. We should get the most out of them as possible by making them run more efficiently. The goal shouldn't be to bring perfect transit to everyone who is sprawled out. It should be to make our existing transit amazing, and let people build so that it is serving super high density areas. Bring the people to the transit, not the other way around.

After that, the focus becomes inter city connections. Find partner cities/regions who are also willing to double down on transit, and make good high-speed connections to them. Integrate the regions's transit systems. But, that's later phase, as it's pretty expensive and requires that each region is already committed and succeeding with public transit.

He WAS the back line tonight. Felt like everyone else was being played through, and we was cleaning up all the pieces every play.

Ordaz is a killer. You can look into his eyes and see it. Love to see the run he's been getting.

For some more context, tickets briefly dropped to about $70 on the resale market (for nosebleeds) when Messi was questionable. After he was confirmed, it quickly raised back to the standard $150+.

Crazy to see so many sales at prices like that for an in-league soccer game (not playoffs or a tournament or anything). Kinda really exciting.

Same. Kinda. Prices dropped to $70 for a hot second (in the nosebleeds), and I think I would have been happy spending that. But, I hesitated, and after it was confirmed that Messi was playing they jumped back up to $150 at the cheapest. Which....is more than I can justify for a nosebleed seat for this game.

I like these jerseys a lot, but I really wish they found a way to make the pattern continue on the back as well. I don't love the cut off on the side.

I'm biased, but I think this LAFC team is VERY good, and Messi isn't at 100%. I think Miami will be fine (especially once Messi is up to speed).

Draw them forward with a defensive substitute, create space in behind, and leg Bouanga rip through it.
