No new stories this morning\n\nNo fresh team news landed in the sources we pulled for this brief. Nothing to report on signings, injuries, or the squad (0).\n\n## Where you stand\n\n13th in the Western Conference, 31 points from 27 games, minus 12 goal difference. That is the picture.\n\nFive games without a win. Draws against San Jose Earthquakes (1–1), Colorado Rapids (1–1), FC Dallas (0–0) and San Diego FC (3–3), with the one bright spot a 2–1 win at Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday, September 14.\n\nSeven regular season games left. The gap to the playoff line is the only number that matters now.\n\n## Nashville at home on Sunday\n\nNashville SC come to town on Sunday, October 11. Kickoff 02:30 CEST.\n\nAfter that it gets tight. LAFC away on Thursday, October 15, then Vancouver Whitecaps back at home on Sunday, October 18. Three games in eight days.\n\n## Fan-reaktioner\n\nThe talk among supporters this week is about Oleksandr Svatok. Fans are sharing a piece on how he has settled and performed in MLS while the war in Ukraine stays with him, and the thread has drawn a lot of respect for the defender and what he is carrying off the pitch.
