Returning home with momentum
Your Galaxy are back at Dignity Health Sports Park this weekend to face Houston, coming off that big win in Seattle. No midweek fixture to worry about, just a full week of preparation and the chance to make it two straight.
The IExLA Galaxy Fanatics tailgate is already organized with seafood and festivities ahead of kickoff. The mood around this team is shifting fast.
Casemiro slipping away to Miami
Inter Miami are closing in on signing Casemiro despite LA Galaxy holding his MLS discovery rights, according to The Athletic. The Brazilian midfielder appears headed to South Florida instead of Carson, leaving Galaxy with little to show for their position in the allocation queue.
The league's discovery mechanism continues to look like exactly what it is: a system where holding rights rarely translates to landing the player.
Dahoud talks progressing
Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud is reportedly in advanced talks with LA Galaxy. The 29-year-old former Borussia Dortmund man could add steel and European pedigree to the midfield, and another Dortmund alum alongside Marco Reus. Not done yet, but this one is moving.
Fan-reaktioner
Galaxy supporters online are split between frustration over the Casemiro situation and cautious optimism about Dahoud. The discovery rights system is getting roasted in the match threads, with fans calling it pointless when Miami can just sweep in regardless. On the Dahoud front, the Dortmund connection with Reus has people intrigued. Read the full Casemiro thread here.
