Landon Donovan

So important to remember, the Galaxy still have two, whatever, $10 million wingers on their team, right? I think about Salt Lake, a team I follow closely. They don't have anywhere close to that, right? Nowhere close. So that is context that matters. Ricky Pooja is unique. in everything he does, Jovalich was really important to the team. And you don't have either of them.

But that, you could get away with being like 10th or 11th place right now with that all being said. Not winless in 12. And Tim said it perfectly. Majority of coaches, managers get fired not because the results are going poorly, but because of what the feeling is and the culture and the environment in the locker room. That is...

So right now, before this weekend, I would have said, he's not getting fired. They're going to hold on to him, and they're going to wait until Pooj is back, and they're going to work their way back, and everything's going to be fine. You lose 7-0, and the team kind of quits on you. Now your antennas start to go up, and you go, oh. What's going on there? There's something more going on there.

And importantly, and this is an important part, and people have to remember this, where a coach is in their contract plays a huge part into this. So after last season, and this is public, Vanny – And the Galaxy could not agree on a new deal. So he's playing in the last year of his contract, JR. So he now does not have a contract for next year.

So if the Galaxy decides either A, let him go or play it out, they don't have to pay him anything. And I know these are billionaire owners, but you have to pay a couple million dollars to release a coach. It's a real thing. So that plays a huge part. If he had a three or four year deal right now, they'd go, uh-uh, we ain't letting him go. Unless they lose 7-0 three or four times in a row.

But that also plays a big part of it. So that makes it a little interesting right now. And I love Greg. I think he's done a phenomenal job. Definitely don't want to see him lose his job either. But just being real, those are all factors that play in right now.

All right, Timmy. Last but certainly not least this week, anything but soccer. And this is a soccer story, but it's a human story. Savvy King from Angel City. She plays with Sid and Allie on Angel City. Had a really scary moment, 74th minute last week of their game. She collapsed on the field. She was under supervision for 10 minutes before being taken to the hospital.
