LAFC forward Carlos Vela is confident his team will make amends for giving up leads in their first two encounters against the LA Galaxy.

A sense of anxiety is starting to creep into Javier Ochoa of Covina, California. The nights are becoming more sleepless. The worry and angst increase with each passing day.

These are feelings usually reserved for the very biggest of Mexico national team games or a Clasico Nacional between his beloved Chivas de Guadalajara and Club America, yet here is Ochoa fretting over a team that less than a year ago could not even fill out a starting XI.

It’s all because it’s Rivalry Week in Los Angeles,…

MLS could use a World Cup boost from its Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica stars

Herculez Gomez sheds light on how an after-hours party incident in Mexico City involving members of the national team has affected El Tri’s World Cup preparations.

Of the 23 players named to Mexican coach Juan Carlos Osorio’s roster for the upcoming World Cup in Russia, 12 are based in Europe, a record for El Tri. Rafael Marquez, somehow, at the age of 39, is on there too, leading a sizable Liga MX contingent.

Perhaps most controversially, three Major League Soccer players — Carlos Vela and the dos Santos brothers, Jonathan and Giovani — also made the cut. Controversially, because the league is still held in low esteem south of the border and because each…

Three-time MLS Cup champions Alejandro Moreno reacts to the first MLS power rankings of the season and evaluates which sides can make a run at MLS Cup.
