Blimey. He comes on to the field I n the second period of the game to hit one on frame and score, what a kicker. Still think the goal tender should do better though.
To be fair I would say at least 90% of the crowd were Mexcan/Latino - they know the game. I was pretty neutral about it until i remember Arse Cole was playing for Galaxy & after tha was 100% behind LA FC - which was a good plan for the first 60 mins or so.
Agree with Leuth - ZI will do well, his agression and lack of fair play will scare most defences witless.
personally think this goal will be overrated because it's his debut. No doubt great technique and a good hit, it's clearly a very nice goal.
But it sits up perfectly, nobody near him and the GK was in the sweeper position, he only had to get it over his head and it was in. There have been better this season easily.
Love him. A proper character and they ain't enough of them these days, not just in football but sport as a whole.
I almost agree. Wouldn't say I love him but I do agree that the game lacks characters and Zlatan certainly brings something a little different. Still a bit of a knob though, a bit like Mourinho before he became a grumpy bastard.
I watched some of the game. Carlos Vela also scored a really lovely goal for the opener.
You just get so much time and space in that league. Some of it is a good level of technique, but some of the defending is just so poor. LAFC going forward had a lot of like 3-v-4 situations where it felt like they were playing on the break, but they weren't really.

He also fouled Vela a few minutes before the goal, deliberately kicked the ball into him as he lay on the ground & then mouthed off at him while making a gesture with his fingers that either implied Vela was very short or something about him was little. It seemed to drain all the spirit out of Vela & LA FC - classic gamesmanship.
