We done that at points last season and it pissed me off. Always feel you should have your strongest team for the first game. It screws the fans too.
LA weren't that great especially defensively. Vela was good for them and rossi. Good goal though.
We were unlucky second half with chances but why are guys like wolf not starting?
Just frustrated, I don't give an eff about concacaf CL and guys like wingo, alfaro and shipp aren't great. Maybe once the mexican teams care I may or they make changes to it but focus on bread and butter first. Dempsey makes too much money not to even be in the squad. Cameo role at least.
The boy who came on and hit the bar looked promising. Hope our korean signing plays soon and we don't see anymore of Alfaro.
I mostly agree, but I have mixed feelings about the CL vs league match debate.
It's the MLS, other than it being opening night, which granted is a big deal I would have done exactly what Schmetzer did, put more emphasis on these CL matches over one of 37 matches against a weak opponent.
I know we lost, but we dominated possession and chances, just bad luck we couldn't put one in.
A good portion of that bad luck was self-inflected.
