The battle of Los Angeles (probably): 2024 MLS Playoffs preview, Western Conference edition
So we're probably headed for an El Trafico to decide who's going to MLS Cup from the West. That sounds pretty good, though there are six other teams challenging that.
The Battle of Los Angeles, released in 1999, was Rage Against the Machine’s best and most complete album. They’ve had some stellar songs on other albums — Evil Empire’s got “Bulls on Parade” and “Down Rodeo,” for instance, and the debut album gave us my favorite TikTok video of all time — but if you want an album in which every track’s integrated and purposefully ordered, The Battle of Los Angeles is the one.
Christian Ramírez made the difference for Austin FC on Sunday. It's amazing that, on Thursday evening, he was on a plane en route to meeting his new team.
It took less than 15 minutes on the field for Christian Ramírez to score his first goal in Verde. That goal proved the difference in a match in which the hosts dominated but struggled to break through.
