P/I/P Season 31 Game 12 - LA Galaxy at Atlanta, 5/9/26, 4:30 p.m. PDT - Apple TV

Our first goal with Thommy to Paintsil to Reus to Pec in about 4 seconds was AMAZING.

 

34 Exclamation Points

Excited are we?
I do notice each line had 1 more, lmao

 

Interesting stat. I wonder if this is the first time during that streak that we had two strong offensive-minded players that we brought off the bench when we got behind. We sometimes bring in a backup striker in a like-for-like, but bringing in Reus for Haak and Thommy for Harbor Miller (offensive minded, but still an outside back), seems unusual for us.

INFO: The LA Galaxy's 2-1 win on Saturday was the first time in at least 29 games (records I keep) that the Galaxy have allowed the first goal and gone on to win.

They had an 0-14-8 record last year and a 0-4-2 record this year when allowing the first goal.#LAGalaxy #MLS

Other reason this was possible was our defense (and a little luck) held them to that one goal. In recent years if we gave up the first goal it was unlikely to be the only one.

Indeed!!!!!!!!

 

Weibe thinks Atlanta got hosed on the call

I'm still on the fence personally, as its lightly in the gray area to me, one of those things that could be called either way.
Yes I agree its a 70/30 thing, 70% no foul 30% "impeding" because it looks like he DOES move a bit in his way, but its in the interpretation area.
I don't blame Atlanta for feeling aggrieved tho.

 

I think it was a terrible call. If it had happened to us I would be furious. But what do I know?

 

agreed terrible call, JT IMO did not make a valid effort to get to the ball, looks like he felt a bit of contact and made a meal out of it.

players are improving, but it doesn't seem as the officiating is improving along with player improvement and that is a problem.

 

That’s how I feel. If the ref is looking right at that I can totally understand him blowing it dead regardless of where or how the cross is coming in.
