It was a good week for the grafters in MLS, but there were struggling superstars and the wrong kind of teenage kicks.
Since Major League Soccer’s inception almost three decades ago, no club has dealt as strongly in star power as Los Angeles Galaxy. From homegrown heroes such as Cobi Jones and Landon Donovan through to iconic imports like David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the game’s biggest names have flocked to ply their trade in the shadow of the Hollywood Hills.
“When I looked at our schedule, to be honest with you, at the start of the season I thought, ‘S**t, this is going to be a really difficult start to the season,’” Vanney said. “In our own way, we’ve managed each of these to get something out of them, which has been special.” The strike only served to prove the worth of the regular MLS referees. There was widespread criticism of the stand-in officials from coaches and fans alike, and in the early weeks of the season ESPN reported that instances of VAR intervention had doubled compared to the previous campaign.
And it was a magnificent effort, too. Cutting in from the right flank, he swerved past two defenders before slotting a low, left-footed strike past former Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen.
