The LA Galaxy started Saturday’s 1-1 game against the Portland Timbers looking lethargic and like their coffee had yet to kick in. Greg Vanney said as much during his halftime interview. When Vázquez was injured right around one third of the way through the game, it gave watchers the opportunity to finally see Chicharito and Dejan Joveljiu0107 on the field together. While it wasn’t necessarily a jolt of coffee, it progressively did look better over the course of the game. The Galaxy’s hold up play improved, working the ball out of the back improved, and Dejan’s runs were better than Cabral’s.
