    Here we go. No Ola starts to bite us in the ass early on. If they had not waited until the last second to pull the trigger on Gio there would have been a litlle money for Ola to feel a some love. You know I have Ibra as one of my forwards in the fantasy thing. How sure are we he wont play?

    Saw Ibra get stepped on pretty good towards the end of the Chicago game - he had trouble getting up.

    I’ve mentioned it previously but I thought Ibra didn’t look physically comfortable from the beginning of the game. He seemed to be moving somewhat gingerly with a bit of a grimace from time to time.

    Ugh. We should have kept Ola and shipped Zlatan off to China.

    If he's not even travelling to Dallas with the team, then I would say the chances of him playing are pretty slim.

    I just hope Ibra can make it. From what I saw from Dallas they gave NE a good game in that 1-1 tie last Sunday. The only ones that stood out for me on their business end is Badji and Barrios. It appears these two are hitting the ground running this year and are going to be a problem for our STILL jacked-up defense. We may not have the Lion and some of key guys healthy but they no longer have Urruti and on the bench coach Pareja is also gone. We need two goals against them as I believe Badji and Barrios are good for at least one. Fan support wont be an issue sad to say. I don't like half-empty stadia even when its the rivals and with Ibra not showing, if he doesn't, then your gonna hear the crickets.

    Confirmed:



    If Zubak traveled with them for the game, then signing him to a HG contract appears to be directly related to Zlatan's injury. Maybe they were thinking of doing to anyway and this accelerated the decision. Seems like they could have gotten him on loan otherwise.

    If Lletget and Corona are good to go, I hope we see that, unless one of our young fullbacks is ready to kick Feltscher to the bench.... :)

    We filled one hole by signing Corona only to have Ibra's injury create another. :unsure:
    This looks like a team that a 1-1 draw on the road should be considered a very good day's work.

    It also seems a bit unrealistic to expect Lletget to come back from a hamstring injury and walk right into the starting lineup, especially since I read that he only started practicing with the team on Thursday:

    You never know though. He sounds like he thinks he could do it

    Hopefully Zlatan’ knock is minor and he’s back for the home game vs Minnesota.

    Obviously, Ibrahimovic is irreplaceable, but Pontius can score. I’m way more concerned about controlling the game and the defense holding tight.

    Just win! We’re due for a wacky win in Dallas.

    What about Traore in the back? I like Pontius as point better than the new guy if we play it like that.

    Somehow it seems like GBS will want his 10. So Cuello could start and Lletget comes in.
    Could also be Carrasco starts.

    If this team gets a result I will be ecstatic and drinking the GBS/DTK Galaxy cool-aid.

    You can't loan players from your USL team up to your first team for MLS games. You can do it on a limited basis for non-MLS competitions.

    Got it. Then that explains why they signed Zubak now rather than took him on a short-term loan. I expect he'll be loaned down to the GIIs much, if not most, of the time.

    Just popped in to wish every one a good match to watch, I'll be unavailable for today's contest. I guess like Ibra and Romain. But not to worry we should play some good football and let's concentrate on defense! Enjoy the match eveyone and I'll check in later tonight hopefully to some happy LAG fans and 3 points more on our record. THIS IS LA!!!!
