P/I/P Season 31 Game 8 - LA Galaxy at Dallas, 4/18/26, 5:30 p.m. PDT - Apple TV

LA Galaxy

Matheus Nascimento - Thigh (Out)
Erik Thommy - Thigh (Out)
Jakob Glesnes - Calf (Questionable)


Saw Glesnes on the plane.

over the course of the rest of the season, having no other (US Open Cup, Leagues cup) commitments, we should have an advantage over our opponents at times. not in these next three games but after that. Hopefully we stabilize in the short term and get stronger from there.

 

Additional Information: The LA Galaxy will be traveling directly from Dallas to Columbus. Saturday at Dallas, Wednesday at Columbus

Because we are traveling right from Dallas to Columbus, Glesnes might be on the trip to get ready for Columbus rather than today's game

 

I hope we play competently like we did against Austin. Dallas has looked pretty good, but did wobble against St. Louis.

 

The good news for Vanney is we are on the road so he won't have to listen to the crowd chanting for his firing.

 

All 3 DP's in the starting lineup. No excuses. Let's go boys.

3?

Was the DP tag removed from Puig and given to someone else?

 

thanks! I went to MLS website to check the DP's and it had Puig, Pec, and Paintsil listed with no mention of Klauss, so I was a bit confused

 

Last year they were holding out hope, so left him on the roster fully.
This year they straight up placed him on season ending injury when they found out, which allowed them to apply the DP tag to someone else.

edit
Had to dig back to find this

Klauss would occupy the DP spot opened by Riqui Puig’s season-ending injury.

$2m for STL can be converted to GAM to help continue roster overhaul. Club not done adding this winter, especially if Klauss departs.

Klauss contract expires after this season. https://t.co/tZSOdol8XL

Thanks! I was going off the MLS website and of course it didn't reflect this change

 

The empty seats are embarrassing.

 

My initial thought was "why are the stands empty"
And they kinda aren't, but on TV its not a great look that the stands blocked off are literally opposite where the camera view is.

Not the wisest of decisions.

as the Camera pans to the right, its not as empty as it appears, just whole sections blocked off, but only where the camera sees.

 

I swear Dallas has had those seats covered and been in “renovation” mode for eternity.. and they still cant flip the camera view to show the other side

 

Our best chance is to bunker and counter all night long.

 

excellent pressure by Pec, then Klauss

 

well wtf was that.
0-1

 

are you fking kidding me?

 

Terrible turnover by Yoshida.

 

Yoshida makes a better striker than defender now.

 

Tuned in out of boredom (and habit). Honestly, considering checking out and going outside and touching some grass instead.
