    Happy for Busquets and Alba. Two amazing players with amazing careers. Retiring with a Championship is something they will enjoy for the rest of their lives.

    yup happy for Alba and Busquetts…

    this is the same Miami that retired G Higuain with a 0-3 loss to the pigeons on a rainy baseball field in NY

    Idolizing people who don't give a crap about you and only want your money, is what has turned this world into the shitshow we are currently living in.

    not strictly saying its Messi's fault as this is how most celebrities operate, this is just a current example of what is wrong with people who will go along with what makes them and the parasites that cling to them money and the morons that spend which for a lot of them is their lifesavings to idolize a figure they deem more important, than family or themselves.


    thank you for reading my Ted Talk

    the Joe Tutino of the Houston dynamo was let go. Very interesting statement.

    hopefully the Galaxy keep Joe indefinitely.

    This is kind of crazy. LAFC acuired Schaffelburg for $1M in GAM on Dec. 29 and a little over a week later they announce he has to undergo surgery for a degenerative condition and will be out 2 months. At least when you buy a used car, you have some recourse under California's Lemon Law if you find some problem while driving it home.

    My guess is that it was disclosed and that the purchase price was reduced accordingly. Of course I have no evidence to prove that, but it seems that with MLS holding the contract that would be disclosed to MLS and hence to LAFC. HIPPA rules might prohibit public disclosure.

    I was curious about this, so I tried to do some digging and the fanbase seems to be disgruntled over a few things, ownership not being local, not investing in the team or the fan experience (sound familiar?) and now getting rid of a beloved local announcer, who was not onboard with the changes he felt were hurting the organization, in short he was let go for not being a yes man, company man.

    I believe the Houston base loved Glenn because he was part of the community and engaged the fanbase in a positive way and was loyal to everything Houston Dynamo and stood up for the fanbase and in this day an age, that is a negative to billionaire owners, such a shame.

    Sometimes when I look around the league, I'm left with the impression that we actually have one of the best ownership groups. At least they spend and try to be a high profile team. I appreciate that.

    Certainly, there is many things (high on the list for me is their hot/cold relationship with their supporters' groups) that are not perfect, but it is much much much worse around at least half the league.

    Miami looks to be signing their 3rd DP, striker German Berterame from Monterrey for $15 million. He had 27 goals across all competitions last season. We, meanwhile, are signing forward … :unsure::cry:

    Agree - our ownership is fine. It’s Beckerman’s lack of ambition for the club that is the problem. Yes, he throws us money occasionally if we make a stink. But otherwise he’s content with us limping along. Remember, he gave Klein a completely undeserved 10 year (?) extension. If not for the true Galaxy fans deciding to pay hardball, we would still be stuck with him.

    Could not agree with this more. Beckerman only seems to care about the bottom line.

    Heads need to roll if we come in last and or we fail again to win a title. Now this clown Beckerman is on the clock and on the hot seat with me at least.

    I WISH Beckerman was on the clock. But as CEO & President of AEG which probably generates over $100 billion in revenue per year, sadly I don’t think the Galaxy are going to be his undoing. Unfortunately we are pimples on AEGs monetary ass.

    I wish we could be bought by a mega-rich soccer nut. I’ll even take Ryan Reynolds at this point!

    Reynolds net worth is probably less than 2% of Anschutz's net worth. Even with a really large ownership group (which creates its own problems - see Angel City), they wouldn't come anything close to the resources of AEG. And for a mega-billionaire, Anschutz has definitely spent on MLS and the Galaxy and has shown interest in the sport. The question is whether that is declining as he ages, but we could for sure be much worse off. We did just win an MLS Cup in 2024. Many teams have been lost in the desert for years without a hint of water.

    this is interesting as it looks like bouanga is not happy with the club for turning down his chance to play with Messi, and from what I gather LAFC has stated that bouanga is happy at the club and doesn't want to make a move but the screenshot below seems to show something else.

    just something to be aware of as the season goes along

    Just want to say I’m in awe of Miami’s offseason. Not sure there has ever been a better MLS team on paper.

    I'd love to see an accounting of how they built that team and have as much GAM as I saw posted.

    Messi is worth about $10 million in GAM with players reduced salaries so they can play with him.

    Perhaps San Jose's signing of Timo Werner and Arango's departure are linked
