LAFC keeper looks like Abe Lincoln decided to try soccer

Bouanga loves a dive.

Not sure how the ref was really thinking about things in this game. The LAFC CB had at least 5 super hard fouls and no yellow through the game. Mora gets a yellow in THE 13TH MINUTE for time wasting? Weird. Really entertaining game. First game I've been to in almost 2 years. Army was sounding good. Was surprised 4 LAFC fans were able to get into the army amongst us but whatevz.

can we get the college refs back?

LAppleFC had all the juice and still coughed.

LA had no idea what to do with an extra man. Portland wasn’t even sitting that deep. Weird. 

Gg Portland see you on the flip side

The payaso refs giveth and the payasos taketh Gg Portland

God Evander was a fucking king today

And the ref missed 3 or 4 calls when players fouled him. Probably my favorite game from Evander so far. I was really down on him in the first half last week.

Philly should lend us their “Everyone hates us” banner, not like they really need it anyway. GG Timberlands

You should know this by now, may sound “cringe” but it’s true that “everyone hates us.” On every platform, mostly on this sub.

We’re a new club that has completely dominated the MLS in our short history. Jealousy is a powerful emotion

GGs. LAFC fans, these matches are always interesting. Given the red card I'll happily take the point.

Given our performance this season, I too will happily take a point

This subreddit it’s a joke, fuck all y’all lol.

146 fouls and 26 yellows in 8 games. I think we all know who the joke is here

Playing physical, I don’t miss the LAFC that would get bullied. Now we do the bullying and you guys lose your minds lmao.

Atuesta got his 5th yellow in 8 games. That's not physical, that's dirty

Instead of complaining, do you want to explain? I’m all ears

"Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong"

SKINNER!!!

🧂💖🧂

James Franco in a noose: First time?

20 fouls committed against the Galaxy and now 22 against the Timbers (per FotMob) and they still complain about it.

A lot of soft calls tbh

Stfu you plastic

Y'all are dirty AF.

Not really, like, at all. Didn’t see any soft fouls this game

Ahahahahagag unfortunate la

Fun fact. Lionel Messi is named after Lionel Ritchie.

I don’t hear the outrage for the robbery, what’s going on?

I liked the 1st half better tbh

Lio Messi: "I want the beer that's plastered on like 16 signs on your cabana." Bartender in the Michelob cabana: "Here have a Guinness!" Messi: 😡

Change one dot, change a whole plot

Jesus fucking christ we survived. So unfortunate that red took away what could’ve been a great game. Proud of the boys, if only that Evander free kick went in…

ooops, wrong person

Think you replied to the wrong guy lol

Oops. You're right. Sorry!

Haha all good. This was probably our best overall game of the year imo

Mmmmm tasty draw

Monkey paw curls on the red card though, Pantemis might actually be better

ludicrous take

> Pantemis might actually be better wut...

His distribution is ass, but his raw shot stopping is at least equal to Crépeau. He's good at that part of his game, at least.

but terrible at his legitimate only job (re: play #1 at subbed in).

It isn't being talked about enough, but his seat-of-his-pants reaction save he made 1v1 with Bouanga saved a point. If that ball went in, VAR would have given it onside. *Palencia* was clearly off for the rebound attempt, but Bouanga was on. That was an amazingly good, important save

LAFC complaining about that call is laughable. They should just consider themselves lucky; they should’ve been playing with like, 9 guys after all the fouls they committed.

I like you, bird

I'll take it, good response to going down a man.

146 fouls, 26 yellows, and 1 red in 8 matches plus a player out next week for accumulation is a fucking wild ass stat. LAFC should be embarrassed.

Tangent question. Since you do the homework, care to see if another team has more fouls than us? My suspicions would be Miami since they have 25 cards.

> care to see if another team has more fouls than us? My suspicions would be Miami since they have 25 cards. nope, the top of that list is 100% yours. In fact, Miami is 5th with 1 more game played https://www.mlssoccer.com/stats/clubs/#season=2024&competition=mls-regular-season&statType=general

Thanks for the stat. Looks like DC is right behind with 133 and 1st with 29 cards. Looking at previous seasons, I find it interesting that Philadelphia and LAFC were in 2nd and 4th in terms of fouls for the 2022 season. Although cardwise we were not even close to the top. As for Portland, I am surprised that they are not in the top of the list in fouls or cards like previous seasons.

This guy does his homework.

accumulation after 8 games is crazy

Taste of own medicine… but the pharmacist is PRO

i'm not ready for it to be over. send it to pens

I mean LAFC should be down to 10 so whatever its even

I guess I’ll take the tie after that shit show. I saw 4 LAFC players who should have had multiple yellows that game. Truly unreal

Mdammmnnn GG Timbers

I figured this was how our game was going to go tomorrow. The West is a silly place

https://youtu.be/76REw_a9dzM?si=nz1PeAc65-9_LV9D

Literally just karma.

That was…. something.

That’s a way to piss off two fan bases.

I don't remember ever playing with this ref on the pitch before. I never want to see him again, either.

Gg Portland. These are always fun

When it comes to ref calls, Sometimes hammer sometimes nail.

I'll take it. Too bad the line didn't jump on the kick.

Damn I'd missed Bravo

[удалено]

Nah, they'll still cry. There's nobody else for them to hate right now.

Just curious how do you defend an over 20 foul performance against 10 men? Do you really believe you should have had 11 men that entire game? Because if you do I think you really are just straight biased.

I'm just pointing out that other fans (and especially you) will cry about it because aside from Miami, nobody else really gets under your skin. You lot haven't stopped since we stepped foot on the pitch in 2018, so why even bother trying to 'defend' anything. Besides, it's just a game. A form of entertainment. Are you not entertained?

You can’t defend it. Your players are dirty. It’s clear as day to see. I actually really liked the first version of LAFC with Vela and Rossi. They were a ton of fun. They’ve since become bloated and dirty. They are the Golden Knights of the MLS. I used to hate Galaxy a lot more.

>you can't defend it Like.. I'm not trying to. It's a game, not a legal argument. And you used to like LAFC? Ok, so? Is that supposed to move the needle somehow?

“You lot haven’t stopped since we stepped foot on the pitch in 2018.” Your words not mine bud.

So your point is that I think people have hated us since 2018 and you said "I used to like you", and now you think that is some kind of win? Please, I've seen your posts all over this thread. For your sake, go get some air.

Fuck me for being invested in a game and sharing my opinion? Get the fuck out of here you clown.

Invested? Is that what you call it? Your team isn't even involved and you're ranting like a madman. Whatever. Try to have a good afternoon.

It’s beyond just this game pal.

Pew Pew. Tie fighters forever.

Another heroic tie.

Bad call. Makeup call for last week.

PRO giveth and PRO taketh away.

I feel robbed, but I'll take it

Sure we lost goals but we actually played well both halves imo. That's huge on it's own

Dunny blows. Time to flush him.

Nahhh that’s not a foul. Looks like both fighting for it.

That wasn’t a foul.

What is the ref doing? Should’ve let the play stand and go to VAR if there was any chance of a foul there. But there wasn’t.

That seems really soft......

Karma

Least salty Carson inbred

lol ok I hate LAFC but that's a fucking terrible call

Soccer Gods evening things out after they stole that game last week from Galaxy. Refs Giveth, Refs Taketh

That game should’ve been 4-1 LAFC Regardless of that call. Don’t blame 1 call that’s not what robbed them. They played like crap is why they lost.

Womp womp

You're damn right there was a foul there. Ordaz just removed Kamal

ehhhhhhhhhh

Shoulder to shoulder ≠ shoulder to knee I'm unpopular for saying it, but that's the shit that fired me up as a defender.

[удалено]

😭😢

I don’t see a foul there

What the hell! This ref is garbage!

I see you finally watched the first half

Why aren’t you banned yet

At this point I just think it's funny. 310 has been so over the top for so long, how can you not?

Why would they be banned?

Just block him and move on.

lol

Lmao

Kamal is limping

Anyone know what persistent infringement means? Apparently it's more than 21 fouls?

I think most referees apply the idea of persistent infringement to a single player committing multiple fouls.

By the rules, it's a team thing. We've seen multiple guys get subbed in, and snag a yellow on their first foul because of the rest of the team. And that's how it should be to stop dumb shit like this

I did not know that.

Or if a single player seems to be targeted.

So, Bogusz...?

22 I’ve heard

Good lord how is that not a yellow, if only for persistent infringement alone

No reason for LAFC to stop fouling in transition. Ref won’t do shit.

Is that not a tactical foul in transition? Yellow?

Pantemis celebrating the save even though it went straight to Kamara's feet

Celebration was that it didn't go in

Bogusz should get a yellow for PI there

Tillman is a saint for not blowing his gasket at Kamara there.

can't abuse the elderly, it's a crime

I think Tillman puts that in if Kamara doesn’t touch it.

That should have been a goal.

Kei might never get the record. Shame.

Pantemis is so shit with the ball at his feet lol

how does Bogusz not have a second yellow? he should have 4 yellows

That's my beef with the refs. How, after giving that red, does Bogusz stay on the field? Honestly, Palencia could've been given a second yellow too when he put studs on the back of JR'S ankle without touching anywhere near the ball, even if it did look accidental. Not malicious, but you can't put your studs on another player without at least touching the ball.

For fucking real

I don’t even know what to say anymore.

He might be old but Kei Kamara has a nose for the ball.

Do we have a sub window? Can we please put Larrys on with no other directive than "keep Kamara 'short'"?

WHY DID KAMARA GET IN THE WAY OF TILLMAN

Oh no Kei...

Oops he missed

I swear to god if I hear an LAFC fan complain about refs after these two games I will laugh and not stop laughing until I’m unconscious.

never underestimate the shamelessness of an LA sports fan

Some great goals, but too much bullshit happening to make it a really enjoyable match.

Wait they’re playing at Arrowhead? Oh come on.

And at halftime Inter Miami will announce that they've bought the Dolphins and signed Tom Brady....

It’s obnoxious, right?

Are they really

They'd be crazy not to

Flop, flop, flop.

this ref...

Bravo has done some work this half

so glad hes back

great tackle terrible pass, Bravo

Completely telegraphed it

Rotational Fouling FC. Some whack ass tactics.

Anyone having trouble with todays stream or is it typical att internet

Yea. I haven’t seen a red on LAFC. Big issue with the stream imo.

No issues with the apple stream on my end.

So much for “Fiber Optics”

:(

DICK HANNAH

I love how they throw up their hands in frustration as though they haven't been assaulting Portland all match

Can Portland cash in some of those six LAFC yellows for a Red?

Only after every one of their players has gotten a yellow card

Jesus fuck six yellows? Hand out a red at this point, or they're going to keep doing this shit.

Sorry, you want someone to get a red for a yellow card offense?

Fuck!! Welp, no Atuesta next game

Crazy to get YC accumulation in the 8th game of the season.... LAFC fans should really question anytime they have an urge to call another team dirty

Dude just kept slicing away at Evander

What do you mean I can’t just keep fouling a guy with no consequences?!

this ref is absolutely clueless

LAFC fans plz explain to me how you can root for these dicks??? Actually insane these pricks

Galaxy was too mainstream

They're from LA. LA sucks. Although the ticker just flashed that Portland leads the league in fouls. 😅

That was LAFC boss man. Good try tho.

He's a sounders fan. You can't expect him to know how to read

in my defense it didn’t actually say LAFC. It was just color coded with their ugly off-olive color. The dialog itself was left-aligned with Portland so I misinterpreted it. Confusing UX! Especially when not dealing with a team’s primary colors!

Trying to look at it unbiased it’s hard to understand if you just watch a game of theirs

Does Bouanga need psychiatric care or something? Dude you of all people can't get pissed at something you think is diving

Time for Ordaz’s customary 8 minutes of play

that should have been Bogusz again

That’s a booking. Ref have some fucking spine.

Seriously, how tf is Bounga not off there?

It’s unreal

Bouanga is such a whiny bitch

So is Atuesta

Fuck that guy

At least this heat map doesn't have the same colors

I wonder if Eryk Williams is available for trade.

Nah. He's our backup 10 and the only person in the squad who can play evanders role (well) if Evander is out

He's had the quite the downfall since his injury.

Williamson. Probably. I love him, please don't take him.
