With Los Angeles being such an important market for MLS, the rise of the Galaxy and LAFC has to be making league commissioner Don Garber happy.
What MLS commissioner Don Garber envisioned when he insisted on having two teams in Southern California was seeing both of them enter the final stretch of the season atop the conference table and fighting for the Supporters’ Shield. It was a nice idea. But until this summer, that vision has been little more than a mirage. The last time the Galaxy led the conference entering September was in 2015, a year after Chivas USA folded and three years before LAFC played its first game.
The reason the Galaxy lead in the standings, however, is because their general manager, Will Kuntz, has had an even better year than Thorrington, rebuilding a once-proud franchise that had fallen on hard times. Dignity Health Sports Park had become a place players were fleeing rather than a team they wanted to join. Kuntz has changed all that. Over the winter he signed Brazilian winger Gabriel Pec, who has arguably been the most impactful signing in MLS this season.
