Los Angeles Football Club is struggling, a 2-0 loss on Sunday night at the Seattle Sounders just more evidence of a team that is clearly stumbling out the gate to start the MLS season. Injuries have limited forward Carlos Vela, one of the top attackers in all of MLS, to just 42 minutes played and two appearances this season.

And while LAFC is far from being in distress, especially with the steady and proven hand of head coach Bob Bradley at the helm, a team pegged to be a favorite for MLS Cup is certainly having a hard time getting out of their own way.
