So I guess I'm not the absolute only one slightly disappointed Cass didn't dismiss the Galaxy as "S-A-W-F-T, SAWFT!"

Good question. In a game like this, it is hard to point to any one particular player that really stood out. But I would consider the following players:
Mena - I thought he was tremendous out there and was very quick on his feet. Made some great tackles and challenges. The only hiccup was the possession mistake in the first half but again I blame the coaches for that. As Twellman said on air, at some point you have to forget the possession play 12 yards away from your goal and just boot it.
Mata - Very solid game from him.
Brillant - Same as Mena. Had a strong game and was good in the air.
Jack H - He has been a tremendous spark plug and the talent he is is tremendous. He created our first goal with that pass to Mata and he made some great plays on the wing to keep LAG off balance. He is a real threat!!!!
So in short, the defense played great and Jack was very good as usual. But to give it to Villa for that sitter goal he scored when he was way off the whole game was questionable.
Don't take it off, have your kid wear it to school and tell the other kids his dad ripped it off for him.
1 of 2 things will happen.
1 the other kids think you are a bad ass and never fuck with your kid.
2 he starts a fashion trend that's even stupider than leaving the sticker on a hat.
Not as thrilling as our last home game but a win is a win. Impressed with the win considering LA had their chances. Saunders continues to make me nervous with his goalkeeping decisions.
Also was it Pride Day? Wasn't really advertised.

I wish I saw them in the Pitchside Club since they were sitting on the other side of the field. I was a huge WWE fan growing up and still watch on occasion.
Final score should have been 3-1 win.
We are so much more dangerous with Mata on the field. His attacks up the wing forced LAG to switch Zardes over to Mata's side and shade on defense. Totally pulled them out of their attacking shape and LAG did not create many chances.
I wrote off Montreal last year before they fired Yallop and got Drogba, but after losing 3-0 at home to Chicago, it really looks like a 3 way race for the Eastern Conference title with Toronto and NJRB.

Honestly, what should they have done for pride day? Put rainbow stuff everywhere? Free food specials if your lgbtqz?
They partnered with a local organization. Not so much more you can do that wouldn't be offensive or discriminatory to others or distracting to those whose showed up to see soccer players play a soccer game.

Pirlo had a near-perfect game from where I sit in 233b. Prescient on D, a rock in possession. If our finishing was better he would have had at least 2 "secondary assists". It remains an absolute privilege to see him work.
Well, looking around the league, the Sounders did this: http://www.soundersfc.com/post/2016...ivities-ahead-saturdays-pride-day-against-new
And Orlando did this: http://www.orlandocitysc.com/post/2016/06/14/orlando-city-dedicates-june-18-match-orlandounited-3
So there is definitely precedent for doing more.
I said it in chat but I'll say it again here: I'm shocked that LA didn't press us more. I would think every team would see that that is the one tactic that consistently gives us trouble.
You would think that after the Colorado game it would be even more clear that teams that sit back are going to struggle against our offense.
So what I'm saying is, I'm nervous about the adjustments Bruce Arena is going to make before he faces us in the cup final.

The Church (all of them) repeat the same shit every week and some people find it enlightening.
maybe Midas Mulligan is some kind of spiritual figure that has not reached you yet
Hmm, must be nice not to have to dread goal kicks!
Well, I don't want to belabor the point, but since you asked...
Off the top of my head: armband a la Michael Bradley (to be auctioned off later, proceeds to charity); jerseys auctioned with proceeds to charity; Supporters in the City segment to show diversity in the NYCFC community; LGBTQ performer for the national anthem; a pride flag atop YS or somewhere in the stadium; PSA's by team captains in English and Spanish discouraging the offensive puto chant; advertisement of the NY Ramblers event in the lead-up to the game to promote their scholarship fund; some pregame clip about Robbie Rogers. Food specials? Please. We want acknowledgement that sports are not the friendliest environments for LGBTQ people and thus encouragement to participate, not a handout.
Again, if you're going to say that you're having a Pride Night, these are the things you might want to do to have one. That's where people are taking umbrage.
Hmm hopefully you'll look back at this and realize that being a smug jackass isn't as cute as you thought it was.
I definitely thought that the club could have done more/something/anything. Unfortunately, my sister a big old lesbian or "lgbtqz" deserving of a complimentary chicken bucket for the day - was unable to attend. She honestly thought the pride day was a gimmick anyway- given that it wasn't gay pride month and was only announced after Orlando. I just think the club halfasses any "event night". Although it's one thing to blow off Star Wars night, but you shouldn't announce a pride night and just give out poptarts and be done with it. If you're going to represent a marginalized segment of your fan base either you do it or you don't announce it and raise expectations.
Fcking juvenile for that player to have hit the bird. That was so wrong on so many levels.
What could they have done that would have been offensive or discriminatory to others?
