100 Percent Soccer column: Has the Galaxy’s new-found frugality hurt the club’s MLS results?
The Galaxy is giving away 12,500 retro T-shirts at Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. game against the Chicago Fire at StubHub Center in Carson.
I suspect they’ll be looking for a little of the Galaxy of old if the club hopes to get a crucial victory — and coach Curt Onalfo wants to keep his job.

ICYMI: Reaction to a wretched LA Galaxy performance against the Seattle Sounders
Galaxy beat writer Damian Calhoun described Sunday’s pitiful performance by the Galaxy against the previously unimpressive Seattle Sounders as “disappointing“; in contrast, much of the other reaction out there was considerably less charitable.
You can read my take on the LA Galaxy in my 100 Percent Soccer column Thursday.
In the meantime, gnaw on this:
Jordan Morris notches one just before halftime to make it 3-0 https://t.co/yfnqjpaNUQ pic.twitter.com/hvxelzbnGw

Seriously, Onalfo may be a scapegoat; that whole #LAGalaxy FO needs to go.

The only two wins on the season for the Galaxy came against an opponent reduced to 10-men. #Facts #LAGalaxy

Scary thought: How many goals would the #LAGalaxy have without Alessandrini?

Does anyone know if the Galaxy Express operate at halftime? I'm ready to fucking leave. #lagalaxy

(The shuttle doesn’t operate until after the 90 minutes are up; I left at half time explaining that the game really was over, but no bus was available. A kindly supervisor spared me from watching the rest of the second half though, giving me a ride to my car at Harbor Gateway Transit Center).
How do we sub coaches? Asking for a friend.. #LAvSEA #LAGalaxy

I can't tell if Seattle has been good or the Galaxy is a collection of recycled ocean garbage. #MLS #LAvSEA

The transition appears complete. For now, at least, #LAGalaxy has become Chivas USA #LAvSEA

The week ahead for the Galaxy: Orlando City SC
The Galaxy will look to build off of last Friday’s 2-0 victory over Montreal when they visit Orlando City SC, Saturday (Noon; Fox/11).
Orlando City SC defeated the New York Red Bulls 1-0, Sunday. Servando Carrasco scored the lone goal.
Orlando City has scored just four goals this season, but they’ve certainly made them count. They’re 3-1 and in second place in the East. All three victories have come at home.
