Two years into life in Major League Soccer and Los Angeles FC have been one of the best expansion teams in league history. They opened life in a brilliant soccer-specific stadium, have a raucous fanbase that is passionate and growing, and built a brilliant team that was competitive from the moment they took to the pitch.
It was telling that LAFC won their first-ever match against the almighty Seattle Sounders on the road. That should have been enough to illustrate just what an impact they were going to have on the league.
