    LA GALAXY vs. COLORADO RAPIDS
    STUBHUB CENTER | Carson, Calif.
    August 13, 2016 | Week 23 | MLS Game #236
    10:30 pm ET (MLS LIVE, Altitude, TWCSN-LA)
    • The Galaxy extended their undefeated streak to eight games in league play with a second consecutive draw, coming back for a 2-2 tie with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday evening at the StubHub Center. Giovani dos Santos recorded an assist for a third consecutive contest, while Steven Gerrard had one for a second game in a row.
    • Marlon Hairston and Dominique Badji scored goals – for Hairston, his third in the last four matches – as the Rapids rebounded from their first loss in 16 MLS games with a 2-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
    • The teams are meeting for the third time this season. Marco Pappa scored the game’s lone goal five minutes into second-half stoppage time to give the Rapids the victory March 12 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park; the teams reached a scoreless draw June 22 at StubHub Center.
    • The Rapids' win in the first meeting ended a four-game Galaxy undefeated streak alive in the series. It also ended a two-game Galaxy winning streak in Commerce City.
    • The last Rapids win at StubHub Center came in 2013. The Galaxy won 6-0 there in 2014 – the largest-ever victory in the all-time series; the teams have reached draws in the last two Carson meetings.

    My guess is that was first suppose to be Robbie Rodgers and they told the artist to change it to someone else.


    I think Cole has a bigger gripe. I wouldn't want to be portrayed as a child molester (allegedly).

    Okay, who is Gio supposed to be? And I'm guessing De Jong is supposed to be Judas Priest?

    After reading the article, I guess you're talking about Jeff Larentowicz, aka Big Red, aka Ginja Ninja. He played 64 minutes against NY and 120 minutes against Dallas. The most by any field player over those two games combined. I didn't think he'd make the 18 this weekend anyways. Perhaps Bruce got word that this suspension was coming down.

    EDIT: Forgot about Cole going the full time in both games.

    This is a big game. I and probably 25,000 others will be there.



    This is still a Raider town anyway.

    Looks almost certain no Keane. Given this is a concussion incident it makes you wonder why the hell he played 90 last weekend.

    http://www.lagalaxy.com/post/2016/0...ndetermined-yet-colorado-rapids-match-insider

    Best guess:

    ---------Zardes---------
    Lleget-----Gerrard-----Gio
    ---------Baggio--dejong

    Cole---vandam-Steres---AJ
    --------------Rowe-----------

    Seems to be the freshest/best team we could play. Cole and Baggio being the two field players used the most in the Sun/Wed games but I don't see alternatives for them really.

    Rogers maybe? He was expecting to be back by mid-August.

    That would be nice but I assume we'd have heard if he was getting closer to full fitness.

    Sorry but a professional American football perspective this was only Raider town for a brief period in the mid 80's and I was a Raider season ticket holder for most of their stay here. However, its was a Ram town for far longer and now they are back. From a total professional sports perspective, LA was a Dodger town from 1958 on until the Lakers took over the town in the 80's and its stayed that way until Kobe's achilles injury and Jimmy Buss put some cracks in the foundation.

    Freshest possibly. Sorry but I can't imagine a line-up with Gerrard being the best. His play against the Red Bulls was absolute donkey excrement. I would take a line-up of Gordon/McBean (if available) and Gio in Gerrard's spot over one with the king of the center circle in it.

    McBean is on loan at Coventry City. Hope it goes better for him then it did for Cobi Jones.

    I'd be open to starting Gordon up top, moving Zardes wide and replacing either Gerrard or tired Baggio with Gio in the middle.
