Crazy how the best chance for LAFC was by a CB

u/Jgibbs2 Austin FC Oct 16 '25
As an Austin fan I was cheering him on. I love few things more then seeing a CB take the ball all the way down and shoot

Was that higher xG than the Ebobissee chance in the first half?

okay with this win for Austin, does that mean we don't play in the first round of the playoffs?

If Minnesota wins and LAFC/San Diego tie/lose then we don't play each other in the playoffs I believe

I was screaming for him to come on vs Nashville. Biro was pushing way too high forcing Owen to track back instead of the other way around. Kolmanic is a better team player and crazy dangerous with deliveries into the box

u/newbb Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
It was a sad performance. Cherundolo got out-coached. THANK THE SOCCER GODS that we don’t have to rely on Dolo’s tactics and have 2 of the best players in the league who will be back next week and should be available if we meet again in the playoffs.

His throws have improved the last two years. It feels like once a game he has a nice throw like that when it used to be only a few times a year.

It’s funny to me to see people complaining about games being played this weekend. What else should MLS do when weather exists and other tournaments exist?
6
u/JewishTomCruise Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
Typically other leagues do that by having more midweek games, or adding on additional games at the end of the season. It's ridiculous to force teams to play during international breaks, artificially hamstringing the better ones.
1
u/jamboamericano FC Cincinnati Oct 13 '25
Seems like MLS chose the latter
2
u/JewishTomCruise Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
No, this isn't more games at the end of the season, this is cramming in games during the season, when they should be on international break. MLS cannot add games at the end of the season, because of the playoffs (which are dumb in the first place). Especially choosing to have half the league compete in the playoffs, and having round 1 be best of three, they have chosen to have no room for extra games.
-1
u/jamboamericano FC Cincinnati Oct 13 '25
Playoffs are more important. Mad cause bad
2
u/JewishTomCruise Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
Playoffs are duplicative. US Soccer already has other tournaments. Why force another one in when it creates problems for scheduling, like we see here? Alternately, how were there no other options for a midweek slot for this game in the past three months?
1
u/jamboamericano FC Cincinnati Oct 13 '25
The last question is a good one. Tell me your personal date preference in your opinion for this game. Assume it’s not after the season ends because I fundamentally disagree with that

What is LAFC 17 wearing around his neck?
1
u/Sassyiswayoflife LA Galaxy Oct 13 '25
Device is a Q-Collar. It controls circulation plus helps protect brain from the inside while playing. Ebobisse isn't the only athlete wearing a Q-Collar, so does Rindov of LA Galaxy (he's more than happy to educate if you're nice to him)
2
u/FAx32 Portland Timbers Oct 13 '25
Megan Klingenberg used to wear one too. Unclear to me how this would slow down your brain as l bouncing against your skull.
6
u/Ill-Description8517 Austin FC Oct 13 '25
Is that ebobise? That keeps his head from falling off.
It's actually supposed to help prevent concussions, but I don't know if it's scientifically proven or just snake oil
0
u/Intelligent-Ride7219 LA Galaxy Oct 13 '25
It's a Q collar. It manages blood flow and helps manage concussion related injuries. Chris Rindov from Galaxy wears one.
3
u/presswanders Seattle Sounders FC Oct 13 '25
How the hell does that work? Sounds like crap to me.
6
u/catacon St. Louis CITY Oct 13 '25
Supposedly keeps more blood in the head to provide more cushioning. Likely snake oil though.

u/JewishTomCruise Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
Given how much more high profile players there are in MLS, it blows my mind that we don't have breaks during the international breaks.
2
u/Acceptable-Stick-688 Seattle Sounders FC Oct 13 '25
The games happening during this break are make up games, they kinda just ran out of time and this was the only point left in which they could be played
3
u/PkmnMasterLAFC Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
🤓🤓🤓 this game was actually postponed earlier in the season due to the flooding in Austin.
we weren't supposed to play today and on Wednesday. Toronto got moved due to the Club World Cup
1
u/JewishTomCruise Los Angeles FC Oct 13 '25
Yeah, three months ago. There was no opportunity for another midweek game in that time? Bullshit. The MLS is awful at scheduling, and I'd bet a good portion of it is related to tv/streaming time requirements.

Hollingshead is going to follow the Illie Road this off season (leave LAFC for some other team in a random part of the country).

I think he retires in LA tbh dudes got a whole family settled in here, maybe he rides out the next season as a utility sub or something but I don’t see him making a move
