    Second home game of the season. This one vs. a very in-form Seattle. The good news is that Douglas Costa is back, looking fit and mean and motivated and committed to terrorizing the left side of Seattle's defense!




    April Fools!


    (Based on form through the first month of the season, Seattle should absolutely wipe the floor with us. Would love to be proven wrong.)

    Let's Go Galaxy!

    If this is true...

    No bond and no klinsman tomorrow. The new guy won't have his visa either.

    A very hard task tomorrow just got much much harder.

    I'll bring some goalkeeper gloves to the game just in case.

    So who is the guy we signed on Monday of this week to be the back up keeper, who is now staring tomorrow?

    As emergency starters go, it doesn't seem terrible to me. Part of USA youth national teams. Played for Orange County SC. Went to Scotland and at least trained with Rangers.

    Maybe tomorrow will be the greatest day of his life?

    Aaron Cervantes. He was already on the G2s in MLS Next Pro, so that was an affiliate or emergency hardship call-up. They could do that again, but only a few more times without signing him to the roster. Simon Jillson, his backup with the G2s, will likely also get a call-up for the game tomorrow.

    Cervantes is a 21 year-old who played 18 games for Orange County SC in 2019 and 2020 (including 1 US Open Cup game) after playing a number of years with LA Galaxy Academy. He first signed with OCSC as a 15 year-old, one of the first wave of pro prospects who decided to go the USL route rather than MLS to better control his future path in going to Europe, and has had 4 caps with the US U17 team. He left for Rangers in Scotland as part of a partnership deal struck between OCSC and Rangers, but Cervantes never got playing time with them or Rangers B (the pandemic was part of the issue since the move started then) and came back to the Galaxy this year. He's not that big (6'0"), but he obviously has been considered a strong prospect during his youth career.

    Jillson just graduated from Loyola Chicago. He's much bigger (6'4") and had a .73 GAA last year for a team that was pretty good (9-2-7) and lost to St. Louis in the Atlantic 10 championship game. Jillson was named 2d team Academic All-American, for whatever that's wroth.

    I remember when this country produced goalkeepers. Those were the days.

    I demand a victory.

    Demand? What are you gonna do if we lose, fly out here and break our kneecaps? You going to get your fat ass in shape, make the roster, get on the field and start scoring goals for us? Demand? Go piss in a hat

    Demand, I tell you.

    If it wasn't for our bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all. Klinsy in his big chance to shine gets jacked up. Where was Bond when this happened?

    I thought we would lose 3-1 which is not horrible considering but with a blow-up keeper at the net...

    For one season in my men's rec league we didn't have a goalkeeper so I played keeper for a season. Talk about the folly of youth....

    Odds us tv watchers will still be watching 60 minutes in?

    Our best hope is our defense holds and it is 0-0, 0-1 1-1 or 1-0 at that point. Because the odds we score twice is practically nil, imo.

    I take that back - I thought we were on the road. At home our chances of scoring twice is much better - probably all the way up to 10%

    Shep actually addressing the front office issues (a bit) and essentially saying we’re not good. Weibe laughably saying a win today and we could be in the hunt for silverware.

    538 has us 45% to win, 26% tie and 29% to lose. They are more optimistic than we are!

    I realize I also didn't factor in the return of Dejan. At home he is a favorite to score so if our new defense can hold up against a potent offense we have a chance. The latter is a big ask though with new goalie (?) and Edwards still back there.
