Game Thread: Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy (Monday Night on ESPN 2)

[Logicallylethal]

3 straight prime time games for our Seattle Sounders!

For the first time in a long time the Sounders are fully rested and ready to take on their west coast rival the LA Galaxy.

At the moment the Galaxy are on the outside looking in and the Sounders hold a steady 6 point lead over everyone in the West. However, don't let the Galaxy's 7-4-6 record fool you into believing this will be a cake walk. For some reason the Galaxy have been prone to slow starts the past couple of years and then they pick it up part way through the season and go deep in the playoffs.

This year they started out 2-3-3 (8 pts) but have since gone 5-1-3 (18 pts). Another interesting stat is their goal difference. Despite being 6th in the West with 27 pts they are 2nd in goal difference (10) just one behind our goal difference (11) and we lead all of MLS with 38 total pts.


Outside of the Timber there isn't another team I enjoy beating more than the Galaxy.


Tomorrow is supposed to be 84 with clear skies. Here's to a beautiful Seattle night and hopefully another incredible sunset like we saw a couple Sundays ago, but most importantly a Sounders win!

I'm somewhat watching

Galaxy on the board early

 

[Cave_Johnson]

You gotta be kidding me...... wow. Can't just stand there hoping for offside.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Anibaba is terrible out there. Sounders really missing their all star Chad Marshall

 

[bksballer89]

safe to say seattle is in trouble

 

[Logicallylethal]

Seattle back line is giving way too much space. Goddamn it

 

[Cave_Johnson]

safe to say seattle is in trouble

Plenty of time left, but yeah....not looking good. Giving way too much space to LA in the defensive third.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Possession is 70-30 right now LA's advantage. Seattle has to fix this immediately

 

[Logicallylethal]

Galaxy are winning every 50/50 ball in the air. Total domination right now. We need to find Papa in the mid field to control possession and make some plays

 

[Logicallylethal]

unfuckingbelievable

 

[bksballer89]

Germany vs Brazil 2.0

 

[bksballer89]

Seattle needs a goal before the half if they plan on getting a point out of this game at least

 

[Cave_Johnson]

Well, this is pretty much over barring a comeback like the one against Portland a few months back.

 

[WizardHawk]

Turned it off. Sounders didn't come to play at all in any phase of the game. They are terrible at passing and have zero defense at all tonight. Look more like the worst team in the game than the best at this point.

 

[RegentDenali]

LA is giving the Sounders the dick tonight for sure. What a slaughter.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Fuck the Galaxy

 

[Logicallylethal]

BS foul

Should be 1-3 Sounders right now with a glimmer of hope

 

[Logicallylethal]

Dempsey with a beautiful left footed shot


Just not the Sounder's day

Let's get a goal or two and make this at least a respectable score
