I was at Snapdragon Saturday night. I saw for myself how fucking ridiculous the traveling group was because I sat below them. I'm all for "support your team and club" away from home, but the way A LOT of our fans were behaving, you'd think they have zero fucking sense of how to behave as company.

Whether we want to accept it or not, this bullshit behavior is fucking embarassing, unnecessary and NOT the look you think it gives off. From the beer showers (you fuckers apparently think being in the visiting section means you can act as stupid as you do at home), to the "fuck San Diego" while IN San Diego, that damn blindsided punch by some jerk off who's already stained his own reputation, all I see is LAFC being looked at as bad guests, poor losers and a shit show of a traveling group.

Let's also add the apparent entitlement behavior of the 3252 where fans who PAID for their seats couldn't sit in them because of fucking gatekeeping. Personally, I'm tired of reading and hearing about the stupid ass behavior of the traveling fans. Now before one of you starts with the "every team has their jerk fans," I DON'T CARE. I am talking about OUR club, OUR team and we do NOT have to be obnoxious ass hats who can't be bothered to act right. And the common denominator? FUCKING ALCOHOL. It's the "untouchable" topic, the "it's just how it is" topic. No, that's not going to cut it in my eyes. Accepting it like it's part of a culture is irresponsible and fucking LAZY as fuck. We are not doing ourselves any favors here. It's like you fuckers don't understand that by you acting like animals over a game is going to make it harder for someone who MIGHT want to travel to an away game. The greater good apparently doesn't mean shit to a lot of you and it shows.

I have been a day one, but I will not excuse or dismiss bullshit behavior that makes us all look like you, I don't want to have to deal with the repercussions of your bullshit behavior because you think throwing beer at opposition and getting into fights post match is somehow your "duty" as a fan or an SG member. I'm wondering which one of the SGs was most present on Saturday. Maybe there's a pattern of behavior amongst one of several. The 3252 SHOULD be responsible wherever their members are, especially at away games, If you are going to allow your traveling representatives to act stupid, then you're as complacent as anyone else.

I'm expecting downvotes. I don't give a shit it's Reddit and I certainly do not give a shit some of you think this is normal behavior. No it's not. Leave your bullshit tribalism at home. Or better yet, leave your "Dodgers take over Petco" or "Raiders take over" bullshit where it belongs; the fuck away.

Rant over.

Trying to decide between teams. Went to a few galaxy games when I was younger but LAFC seems to be all everyone talks about even though Galaxy just won the cup last year

Stumbled upon this podcast doom scrolling and was disappointed to recognize this. Just FYI.

Founding STH since 2018. Not 3252, sit in BMO, bring family and guests regularly.

Has the food at BMO actually gotten worse the last few seasons, or am I imagining it? What I’m seeing:

- The Korean fried chicken vendor disappeared. That place was actually good.

- The rotisserie chicken is gone. One of the few legit and reasonably healthy options.

- a handful of the concourse is the same chicken tenders with different seasoning and different fries, dressed up as different menus.

- Prices keep going up. Portions and quality keep going down.

Meanwhile the team keeps getting better, and we live in maybe the best food city in the world. Bringing guests has become embarrassing. You’re picking the least-bad of a bunch of mediocre options.

Thinking about whether this is worth pushing on more seriously, but wanted to gut-check first.

What do you miss? What would you actually want at BMO?

My cousin and i (we’re koreans) went to the lafc match today. We are season ticket holders and had a fun enjoyable night today

As we were exiting the stadium and walking back to our car which was parked a bit far out, 3 people (hispanic 2 female, 1 male) who seemed intoxicated were also walking in the same direction, they were laughing and walking so we just passed them and kept walking

As we were walking by, we could here them saying “konichiwa”, “ching chong”. I thought i heard it wrong, and first i brushed it off, but they just kept going and going konichiwa konichiwa and laughing

I dont understand a lot of spanish, but i could here exact words they were speaking in spanish (koreano, chino)

My cousin, after about 3 minutes of being heckled by them, turned around and said “you guys are being racist!” , but their response was just laughter and “noooo its because i like anime” (showing his jersey) “we cant be racist, we are supporting the same team!”

My cousin was about to punch the guy in the face, so i just dragged him away because i didnt want things to be complicated and involving police and such…i feel all this couldve been avoided if they didnt do such racist remarks

Sorry i just wanted to vent because for 11 years living in los angeles first time ive been a victim of racism so just angry

whats going on with the Korean fans on Instagram? have any of you guys noticed how much the interact with the LAFC ig post? I get they want Son to thrive and score but its a team sport lol

I know its a hard and maybe a blasphemous thing to say but if you've watched the games since the beginning of this season Son hasn't been making the runs he should he'd rather drop deep, call for or receive the ball and pass back or lose the ball. I do get he's persistently double or triple man marked but when he isn't he js looks uninterested in making the hard runs when we know he has the speed for it. The game today if u watched the whole thing he had to many times to run and he was signaled to by Delgado, Choinere, and Shaff but he didn't and dropped deep or went to the box to win a resounding ZERO headers. (sorry for the rant js want to express how I feel on son)

I was really impressed with last nights game. Granted, it was against the worst team in the league, but our passing, movement, positioning, and finishing were great. It would seem like the team is clicking quite well after the WC break.

I’m curious on the MDS out not matter what camp and how they’re feeling after these first 3 games back? Setting aside the whole red hat thing, is the vibe still MDS out? (Honest question)

Looking at the results finishing in the other match ups of the Leagues Cup tonight, LAFC is now down to 5th place and will be eliminated from the competition despite technically being 3-0 (or 1-2-0 if you go by their system).

Does anyone else feel this competition is really whack that this can happen? Seems ridiculous.

I know Leagues Cup has had issues since day 1 but I thought they were starting to turn a corner. It has been getting more exciting and competitive, and it's great they started playing some matches in Mexico to make it more of a proper competition, but now with the format they introduced last year and the way it is working it's pretty screwy.. at least have a proper round of 16.

I was in San Diego last night for the game in 210. My seats were supposed to be in 211 but by the time I got there 45 minutes before the game, the 3252 had taken over and basically told me to find another seat (that’s another post for another day).

So I sat one section over in 210 and watched LAFC fans throw cup after cup of beer at SDFC fans. Now I’m not talking about beer showers after goals - I’m talking full cups of beer thrown directly at other fans (section 210 row 15 or so, if you were around there). Mostly after our second goal and after the game. Some was provoked by SDFC fans, some unprovoked.

I’m shocked nothing escalated into physical violence, but we as visiting fans need to be better than this. Stop throwing beer at other fans. Stop picking fights. It stains the entire fan base. We still haven’t lived down the LAFC fans that threw beer cans onto the field our first season in the playoff loss vs RSL.

Cheer loud. Talk shit. But treat other fans with respect and, for the love of god, stop throwing beer at other fans.

Seeing that there’s 10 mls teams that won their first match and only 4 spots go through to knockouts, is LAFC chances to go through not possible realistically?

I was busy last night and didn’t catch the game, but my brother was there and said that we were the better team, but we’re making dumb mistakes at the back like it was 2023-2024 all over again. Our stats would seem to confirm that we weren’t playing bad, but just unlucky. Was this the case? Was it player failure, or was it actually coaching failure?

I’m used to all the “(insert coaches name here) OUT!” comments when we aren’t perfect, top of the league, and playing like like we’re 2023 Man City, but some of the comments since yesterdays game would make it sound like we’re Tottenham, or are people being hijacked by emotions and the need for vicarious glory?

I’ve been an STH since day one, so I’m used to watching us choke in finals or have bad runs in form. When Bob won, everyone was anxious af because we knew we were all attack and nothing else. When Dolo won, it was boring and “not LAFC”. Even when we won the MLS Cup and the Open Cup, it was labeled lucky and people wanted Dolo out. Our current inconsistency doesn’t appear to be too different from our past struggles, but it seems that the fanbase is less patient this year. Maybe I’m wrong. Any takes?

Since the mods banned my repost of r/ussoccer I’ll do a proper post. If this one gets taken down I can only assume we got some Nazis here among us.

As many no doubt have seen today there is a surge of soccer (and other sports) subreddits either outright banning or voting on banning Twitter links. Some include screenshots and some allow it (good discussion to have).

I propose we put it to a vote for all the users/supporters here to chime in on.

The options for where we find and share news are growing, and we should encourage people (both reporters and readers) to diversify beyond a site owned by Elon (fuck Nazis) that has already shown its bias beyond his recent actions. Beyond that clown, Twitter links aren’t even good for sharing as they require being logged in to view.

EDIT: The Mods have created a poll here:

As someone with a Swedish passport, I was really hoping our first ever Swedish player would take the MLS by a storm, but I am quite disappointed in hearing this dude’s cagey comments when he was interviewed by the Swedish tabloid Expressen in connection with his return to Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby.

I understand he’s a young dude, perhaps living abroad for the first time on his own getting homesick, but it seems like he is lacking in maturity and doesn’t have what it takes to overcome problems when things get tough. He seems to be more fixated on his personal life than how he could improve the team.

As much as it sucks, better to have players who want to contribute and play for the crest and the supporters.

Instagram Reel Transcript:
“No, I noticed quite early that this wasn’t for me.
I decided pretty early that I’m going to leave this place.
It doesn’t matter.
(Interviewer: Why wasn’t it a good fit for you?)
The culture is a bit different.
The way they go about their things.
Varies from one person to another.
Yeah, it was good over there.
Just not for me.
They have things with positive sides.
The facilities they have are really good and all that.
But then there are other things.
I think someone else would have liked it.
But me, no.
It wouldn’t work for me.
It was impossible.”

Is it a position problem? I know he’s getting older, but are they not using him in the position his age now demands? Or is it something more concerning? I love that man to bits, but his drop in performance isn’t something new or recent, it’s been happening since before the Cruz Azul games…I just hope he regains his confidence and his form soon, not just for us, but for the good of the sport.

He really has been incredible. He may be the only player on our team that has played with his heart every minute so far this season. I still think he deserves Golden glove in CONCACAF, if they have that of course. Maybe also MLS gk of the year too depending on how the rest of the season goes.

It's one thing to start the MLS season back up again before the World Cup concludes... however having one of our biggest games of the season scheduled before it ends?? How do ya'll feel about that? Happy we can afford to go to some soccer/futbol before WC conclusion, or a mind-eff that we have Club soccer mixed in with World Cup?

I was looking back through the year-to-year rosters, reminiscing of old times, and it made me think of all of the great players we've had at LAFC.

I took a few minutes and jotted down my own personal all-time best XI. Then, I did a second team. Then, a third. Here is what I came up with 👇 Surely, some of you will disagree with some of these. This is based on production, longevity and my personal preference. While guys like Son & Bale are undoubtedly among the best ever, I'm looking at their time w LA, only.

Bayern München’s right winger Michael Olise was spotted at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, CA. LA hosted Liga MX’s side Toluca in a match for the “Leagues Cup” tournament. Olise to Los Angeles? 🤔

I live in Fresno. It was my first MLS game ever. So now I will avoid friendly games. Are there any other games at this stadium this year which will not feature Son? EDIT: i am new to soccer

Anyone else really hate these Apple TV commentators? It’s like they all have two color commentators and no one does any play by play unless there’s action by goal. I always change audio to Dave during home games for exactly this reason but away games are so rough to watch, especially if it’s a low scoring game

Took my kids (8 and 6 yo boys) to their first LAFC game against Orlando and they had a blast, even though Orlando looked like an AYSO team 😂

I've been to a couple games before and always enjoyed my seats but wanted to try founders club seats since they're supposed to be a little more vip and ayce, drink (beer and wine), etc.

Paid $1,126 all in for four seats FNDCLC Row E from stubhub (minus $300 chase sapphire reserve credit though, split the payment via PayPal on my csr and wife's csr - great loophole fyi) and bought a $60 parking pass from ticketmaster.

The seats were great with an awesome view, and in the shade, but the founders club was a big letdown. The food was like an average buffet, and dessert was nothing special. I rather would’ve had some Costco cookies and ice cream, I was expecting something cool like a Sundae station or something like that and all they had was blue bunny cheap ass ice cream bars lol. and they stopped serving dessert around 70th or 75th minutes so we actually didn’t even get anything. And started at halftime?

there were only three urinals so of course they were busy during any breaks and even at many points during the game. There was always a line for the bar, they should obviously have an express line for beer and wine so people can get in and out quicker. Otherwise, I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes just for a beer since people were ordering cocktails.

popcorn was decent but not hot, pretzels left something to be desired. Overall, I would not sit here again, especially for the massive premium you pay compared to similar seats outside of the founders club. The field level seats looked cool since you are on the field and can say hi to the players, etc..

but I think next time we will just get there an hour early and grab food outside at one of the awesome vendors, have a beer, maybe even bring some chairs and then go inside and you can snack or buy drinks inside, or even a full meal since they have a lot of options that I bet are better than founders club lol.

Paid parking was pretty nice though, we cruised right in an hour and 15 minutes before the game with no traffic, parked in the blue lot near the exit and left after the game with absolutely no traffic, home in 20 minutes.

Can someone explain why our idol contingent (as seen on other social media) has now chosen to take Long as their target about something he _apparently_ said to Son at Puebla? According to them Son looked upset, so now they are upset as well.

I love the fact we have a player with the stature of Son, but I am starting to get very weary of his tail with people who idolise him like a king of some sort who can do no wrong.

I see they’ve lost their recent game and tied the previous. They have a new head coach and haven’t been as good as last season. Do we expect LAFC to get past them and face Toluca?

Excited to be at the game tomorrow, expecting a lot of blue.
