Following up on a lackadaisical performance against the New York Red Bulls, the Galaxy couldn’t get anything moving against the Columbus Crew, and the defense decided to jump on the plane early.
When Zlatan Ibrahimovic is standing at midfield trying to find the ball, you know you’ve got problems. Disaster struck when Jonathan Dos Santos went out with an injury; with Jonathan so critical to the Galaxy’s fortunes, his exit put the Galaxy defense in an even bigger bind. Rolf Feltscher needs to understand that incoming crosses do not have cooties. I can’t count the number of times he has stood so far off the ball he might as well be a traffic cone.
