So watching LAFC play tonight against BVB, something occurred to me.
We may very well not have as much of a depth advantage as we thought among the true contenders.
LAFC subs have looked great. RB has good depth. Toronto, also. And ATL is deep where it matters for them (they still don’t have a proper central defender on the roster).
ETA:
Also, I am going to go counter to common sense and say I think we should play some friendlies in midseason. I have rules about how I think that should happen, but all in all, I don’t watch football for trophies. I watch for joy. I would enjoy a friendly now and then during the summer now that we have an actual full squad. We should do it for the benefit of the kids.
You don’t think Tyler Adams scoring at 16 against the PL champs (it was, right?) was important to him? Of course it was! I’m not saying it’s why he’s proving to be a good player, but it certainly didn’t hurt.
