USA lost? Hmmmm. Don’t know what that’s like 😏 🇲🇽

It was a rough final match day in the group stages for the boys in black & gold. Canada secured knockouts despite the loss, while South Kore tumbled to 3rd place with Son continuing to struggle. All that and more as we continue to follow LAFC at the World Cup! ⬇️ 📰

Ochoa kissing the goal posts goodbye while El Rey plays in the background. The last of the golden generation, a legend of the game, one of the best to represent El Tri. It means something to me. If this is it, thanks for everything!

My goat. My team. What a group stage we’ve had. Statement made. 10/10 no notes.

VAAAAAAMOOOOOSSSSSSS! 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽

Ochoa with the sendoff he deserves, got a great hockey assist with the long ball forward on the final goal. Just a magical group stage for Mexico on home soil.

We are running it back tonight!!!! Mexico already secured first in Group A, but we likely get a World Cup sendoff for the legend, Ochoa! Come through and vibe with us!

Come have some fun with us tonight!!

Obviously, Christen Press is a megastar and was huge… but it was also one of those “regardless of ownership/management/coach, she was coming to play in LA” moves. Nothing since, often not even in the conversation for some of these massive talents. It’s just not ideal for an LA team.

If Boston sign a megastar before a team in Los Angeles, owned by Disney…….. Not even being in these conversations though, is damning enough.

Good morning, Los Angeles! Our World Cup representatives were back in action for match two of the Group Stage. Another stellar performance from Eustáquio, Shaffelburg nearly opened up LAFC's World Cup goal account, and Sonny continues to struggle. That and more in our Black & Gold Global report 🔗📰

Held Spain scoreless. Scored two to draw against Uruguay. Cabo Verde is not here just for the vibes.

CABO AGAIN!!!!!

CABO VERDE??!!!!!!?????!!!!!

Asked a few Curaçao players how they feel about Cape Verde’s squad with their similar stories as the smallest nations debuting in the World Cup. Their answers were no surprise, stating they support Cabo Verde, and they both are already proving doubters wrong. www.kansascity.com/sports/fifa-...

Spain heard all those “x has more goals than Spain” jokes and said AHT AHT!

Fox forcing segments for Zlatan and Alexi to do together this morning…

GOLAZO JAPAN! Goodness

After a couple of matches where goals were hard to come by, not sure how to react to a goal scored in the first 5 minutes…. Is this allowed in the World Keeper Cup tournament?!

This entire post is precisely why this sport is the greatest sport.

I love in hoops when you can hear a player yell “AND 1” while getting fouled and making the basket.

Please get Gyokeres on the first flight to London. He doesn’t need this. He needs rest and recovery for the season ahead.

Not like this Sweden, pls.

I will be in the house for Paraguay v Australia. Then it’s back to LA for Round of 32 matchups and quarterfinals. We need to get woso 2031. This World Cup has been too much fun.

The most fun part about the World Cup is a team like Türkiye can miss 100% of the shots they do take, and their fans are like 🤷🏾‍♂️ fuck it, pour more. 😭 😭 We’re all here for a good time, not a long time.

Soooooo worth a million dollars in transfer funds…… right?!?!

I’ve been informed by friends lions milk is essentially Turkish moonshine. I didn’t know this before downing half a bottle. So, I guess, goodbye? 😩

I have been adopted by the Turkish fans at Levi. I have had sand coffee and something called lions milk. I just want them to score so they can feel joy.

Happy Juneteenth!! Going to do my best to enjoy my Friday, get these jokes off, and worry about any and all dumpster fires next week. I choose joy and peace this weekend. 🙏🏾

The most interesting, and perhaps worrying, part of this whole deal is the release didn’t mention an extension being signed. As it stands today, ACFC just paid 850k for what could very well be a 4 month loan. Sentnor is set to be an UFA, and can open up discussions with other teams, July 1st.

Officially, official. ⬇️ 📰

Still can’t get over the Rangel save. Absolutely massive moment for him. Never easy replacing a legend, especially one like Ochoa, but that moment showed he might be the next legend in the making. Can be shaky at times, but he definitely has the talent to be a wall in goal.

Wish it was 10° colder because I could really use a bowl of pozole right about now.

I choose to believe. Until we don’t, we’re winning it all! Idc! I’ll be delusional! 🇲🇽

My part of the Bay Area is going crazy over the win. Might go out for ice cream and enjoy the vibes. Mexico lock up knockout stages. An ugly win, but sometimes champions win ugly. 6pts, 2 clean sheets, can’t ask for more.

Match is over, we can go back to loving South Koreans like brothers….. I will say. I LOVED seeing the Korean players get petty and spicy. That’s how it should be between the lines. We aren’t friends. We both want to win. All respect, all love.

Only one player I want to see for that group stage match 3…..

You can tell the liquor was hitting along with the pride for Mexico cause the Spanish was creeping out during the watch along with the homies 😭 😭 @shadesofbluenw.bsky.social

Come for the watch along, stay for the tangents and fall in love because we aren’t Alexi! Win/win/win! Second half starts soon, come lock in with us!

Last note on Canada, another match where Choinière doesn’t see a single minute. Unused sub today, making it two matches where he’s yet to see the pitch. Hoping he gets a run soon. Remains the only LAFC international at the tournament to not log any minutes.

I guess if you’re gonna win your first-ever World Cup match, doing it 6-0 is as best a way as any!

LAFC forward Jacob Shaffelburg gets one past the line for his first World Cup goal for Canada!!! Pushes the lead to 5-0

You can tell which matches this tournament have featured a Concacaf team (complimentary)

In hindsight, maybe the club should work on securing players…. Long term… and coaches… long term…. That’s enough sponsorships I think 😬 anyways, we’re back tonight for Mexico v S. Korea!

The timing on the run for that Colombia goal was perfection. Cannot get better than that. Striking out of nowhere for the lead.

Today has felt like the longest day lol Finally home from World Cup stuff, cold drink acquired, ready for this late night chaos. Might pick up an ice cream or something.

Probably foolish of them to think they’d make it to Saturday without this leaking, especially after all that went on today. Insane. Nearly a milly for a player that is almost an UFA, and if we’re honest, isn’t that much, if at all, better than who they just gave away. Plus now no HC. Soooo.

Naaaaaaah don’t celebrate corners now England fans. Yall were crying “it’s the death of football” for 8 months…. Don’t start cheering now!

Imagine. A major market team, moving like a major market team. Interesting.

This might be even more hilarious than him shooting 500 times and missing 😂
