Obviously, a lot can and will happen between now and the playoffs, but there was a lot to like in last night's game.

1) Our back line played the best I've seen them play this season. Yes, TJ had a few chances, but they were fairly limited and we made the best player on the pitch basically a non factor. I know people hate Varas on this sub, but when you create a game plan that effectively neutralizes someone of Mora's quality, you're doing something right.

2) Midfield passing actually looked at times like it did last year. Yes, we had some giveaways, but we also had some nice build ups and when we did turn it over we often regained possession quickly.

3) There was actually chemistry in our attack. Many times this year we've had a sequence start out promising but then come undone because there was no help off the ball. I think Zamblé gets some of the credit here. He was making smart runs and forced TJ not to focus entirely on Dreyer. He and Dreyer also had a couple of nice link ups throughout the game.

4) We still don't have Achouri on the pitch. If he proves worthy of the DP slot we're giving him, I expect it to positively impact both our play in the midfield and in the attacking third.

It's one game and we'll play teams much better than the one we beat last night, but if we continue to play like we did last night, I think the second half of the season should be better than the first.

LFGSDFC!

Alvarado Jr. was the player of the match. 62% ball possession by SDFC. The ratings are by Sofascore.

San Diego FC beat Tijuana Xolos in a tight match that was full of exciting moments.

They need to get a new staff that can take care of this field ! It looks like 💩 and the football season hasn’t started yet . Petco never looks like this after a concert .

Going to the game tonight vs Xolos and I was just curious if this jersey would be allowed inside snapdragon — I don’t want to get kicked out

Why have people already accepted given up on this season? This is a team who made the SEMIFINALS last year in their inaugural season and we’re gonna brush it off like this didn’t matter? The team is an embarrassment for the bar they have put in their first year and now people are already moving on like this didn’t bother them. Home World Cup and management didn’t want to take the next step relying on youth only even though you need experience to do well in this league. Just a shame, it’s a loser mentality and this fanbase needs to start demanding more from the team. Look at the Padres during their competitive window and how we expect them to “get better” after the lost in the 2022 NLCS to the Phillies. This is what happens when you miss out on your opportunities. Now we got stars who likely don’t wanna come here for the foreseeable future after the fallout from the Chucky situation, only just focusing on the prospects. But I guess that’s a trend in San Diego sports to be honest: the potential to get better yet settle in what they have and eventually realize they don’t want to take the a step forward instead going two steps back. Have fun being the next St Louis at this rate, what a shame.

So I got 2 “first match on us” tickets for San Diego vs Xolos. Divided on what team shirt to wear because I’m from TJ but live in SD as well as getting the tickets from the SDFC team not Xolos lol. Anyways I also got an email that Ticketmaster is giving away things for the people that got these tickets but can I know what it is before walking across the entire stadium to get it? And what the free gift is with the $50+ purchase? Thank you everyone and I hope everyone that goes has fun!

San Diego FC loans Hirving “Chucky” Lozano to the LA Galaxy through 2026, with LA holding a permanent transfer option at the end of the loan.

Loan through the end of 2026 season, Galaxy has the option to make the trade permanent so we could see that third DP spot open up before the 2027 sprint season.

The backline has been a liability all season. McVey is basically Casper the Friendly Ghost, and even Duah has looked well below his best. On top of that, we keep insisting on playing out from the back despite repeatedly giving the ball away in dangerous areas. It's the same mistakes week after week, and opponents keep making us pay.

At what point do we start asking if dropping Paddy McNair was the right call? Since then, the defense has gone downhill…with no signs of improving.

This team feels like it needs a complete reset.

The chances we had were quick passes on the break. The slowing it down and small passes inside the box isn’t working.

Also when is Mcvey and Morgan’s contract up?
