2025 Messi League Soccer (née Other Teams’) News Thread — Now With 100% More San Diego!

Montreal won away at NYC. Galaxy now own the longest winless streak to start a season in MLS history and did so in emphatic fashion.

 

With how much they suck right after winning the Cup, I question if they are not secretly coached by Caleb...

 

It ended up 7-0. All four wheels have now officially fallen off of the wagon at LAG. 3 points in 12 matches, and a -20 goal differential for last year's champion.

 

I wonder if there are any cases of a team in Europe winning the championship one year and then getting relegated the next. I know the reverse has happened (a promoted team winning the championship).

 

Ended up 7 -0 with the crowning blow being a stoppage time own goal.

Not a banner night for the Gals.

 

I love this tifo created by the Minnesota United supporters. Precisely why the Haslam's banned tifos for the Crew vs Miami sham match in Cleveland. Minnesota had a real home match vs. Miami, real home support, they won the match 4-1, and made a statement.

 

Golden Balls own son just changed his last name.so as to publicly disassociate from his father.

His lessons on respect needed to.start a little closer to home.

 

Gotta admit that Pink Phony Club is very on point. Well done!

I hope the a chant starts around that so every club can sing that when they play Miami. Bonus points if they can weave Golden Balls into the lyrics.

 

I like the shout out to the old NASL Minnesota Kicks (the K logo) on the tifo.

 

Eastern conference midweek match ups today :
NYCFC @ DC
Charlotte @ Orlando
LAG @ Philly
FCC @ Toronto
RBNY @ Nashville
ATL @ Austin
Miami @ SJ

a win could push us ahead

 

Gals are up two to nil on Philly. How lovely.

 

What is a Vanney to do?

 

They were +1000 odds but i was scared to bet even knowing LAG would prob mess up but the bet no tie still had good odds. I regret not pulling the trigger

 

Saturday no game is bigger than ours but here’s what’s happening in the east:

Philly @ ATL
DC @ Nashville
Chicago @ Charlotte
RBNY @ NYCFC
SJ @ NE
Toronto @ MTL




Sunday
Orlando @ Miami

why not have Chicago v STL , Nashville v ATL , NE v Philly , leaving Charlotte v DC

the entire rivalry week in a week with midweek games seems odd as well

 

The Galaxy have extended Vanney's contract. Wild stuff. I don't necessarily think the guy should be fired right now. They are without all 3 DPs right now and their FO made some questionable roster moves last year that really screwed them this year. But to extend his contract right now is pretty wild. Through 13 games they are winless, have only managed 3 draws, and have a -21 goal differential.

BREAKING: The LA Galaxy and head coach Greg Vanney have reached a contract extension, sources say. @PaulTenorio first reported.

Galaxy won MLS Cup last year but are in historic 13-match winless run to start 2025

Vanney has won multiple trophies in career https://t.co/YqTznmDM6e

Odd time but I think when Puig got hurt they kinda planned to rebuild rather than try to run it back

 

His contract was set to expire at the end of the year anyway so why not

 

Agree but they should have did it after MLS cup but if anything his asking price likely went down or at least he lost a lil bit of leverage it would seem. But who knows how long they been working on this contract.

 

BREAKING: U.S. Soccer has authorized a special, 10-day transfer window from June 1-10 ahead of the Club World Cup and MLS will implement it only for clubs in the tournament, per sources.

The Seattle Sounders & Inter Miami are in + LAFC could qualify.https://t.co/Hk4TWYqEBm

I kinda agree with how they handled this. Unless we had flaco ready to go june 1, this would have cut our transfer window down to effectively 20 days as teams and players would wait out the european teams for better offers
