MLS Soccer is back, and opening weekend is always exciting. Who's watching today's game?

Too many core changes, but was content with what I saw. Jermaine should've gotten that header man, so damn close.

Really like Lassiter too, has a ton of untapped potential.

Who's the next big EPL or Euro League player to come to LA? A washed up John Terry perhaps.

Been an atrocious season but the addition of JDS is one I both like, and dislike.

The Galaxy already had a decent amount of talent in the midfield and needed a CDM or some defensive help. Boateng, Alessandrini, Husidic, Pedro and when he gets back, Lletget. Jones has been absolute trash as well and needs to go now more than ever.

True, the side has struggled to find a foothold on getting some goals in, Zardes can't seem to adapt to playing the #9 role, Gio has been inconsistent, so he'll help going in that front. Interesting decisions for Curt, but hoping he roles out:

Zardes----Gio
------JDS-----
Husidic--Pedro--Alessandrini

Until Lletget comes back, then plug him into Husidic/Boateng's spot. Though, odds are, he's going to go with a 4-2-3-1 defensive formation. Man, do I miss Bruce.

My biggest like of this acquisition is that it prevents LAFC from trying to grab a bigger hold of the sizable Mexican market in LA, as JDS may have been the biggest available name since Chicharito went to West Ham. A lot can change from now until the start of the LAFC franchise though.

Excited for the upcoming season....Kamara was a good add, Kitchen has something left in the tank. Not sold on Bingham but hopefully he has a bounce back year and THA was a great draft pick.

Biggest add though is going to be the return of Lletget, can really use him.

No clue on the defensive unit, but see Sigi running a 4-2-3-1 :

------------Bingham-------------
Skjevik--Flestcher-Ciani--Cole
--------Kitchen----Jonah-------
Lletget---------Gio------Allesandrini
-------------Kamara--------------

Giving the 3 attacking mids the option to swap as needed with Jona playing just ahead of Kitchen.

Bring on Ema for Kitchen if offense is needed while pushing Lletget next to Jona.

Along with Ema, Joa Pedro, Hussidic, Pontius provide some nice bench options for Sigi.

Will be interesting to see where Zlatan plays, if the rumors are indeed true.
