Zlatan left MLS for Serie A which of course now means Serie A is now the world's retirement league.

I still remember that game. That first goal Zlatan scored was class. To then score the winner in stoppage time was the cherry on top.

The Galaxy manager (Sigi Schmid) was one of the great managers in MLS history, but he sadly passed away about nine months after those games.

RIP Sigi 🙏

You're correct: Bob Bradley was the manager of the U.S. men's national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He coached at the NCAA (college) level with Princeton, making the semifinals in 1993. Bradley later went on to coach Egypt from 2011-13. He wasn't able to lead them to the World Cup, but got them into the final round of qualifiers in CAF. Also, MLS and USMNT midfielder Michael Bradley is his son.

The Great Sigi and Zlatan writing an incredible chapter in MLS history. RIP Sigi

We were at that game and the Stadium was INSANE. And all game the LAFC fans were throwing beer and stuff celebrating. The look on their faces after the game...EPIC. Sheriff Department there made all their supporters wait almost 2 hours for the crowd to clear.

Fun Fact: That first goal by Zlatan ended up winning MLS Goal of the Year

Fun fact, so many great footballers have graced the MLS with their performance. Giovinco, Henry, Beckham, Ljunberg, Denilson, Cole, Defoe, Frings, Lampard, Gerrard, Villa, Kaka, Juninho, DeJong, Cahill, Rooney, Wright Philips, Silvestre, Sagna, Schweinsteiger, Di Vaio, Nesta, Nocerino, Van Der Wiel, Kean, Nani, Higuain, Matuidi, and of course Ibra. There's many more Im missing but that's impressive.

Around 20 years ago, I read a comment by a British football commentator (don't remember who) who said that world football was praying that America would accept & adopt the game as its own, but also feared that happening because it probably meant America would come to dominate the sport as it has so many other international sports. With the team that just defeated Mexico in the final of the CONCACAF Nations League, we may be on the cusp of that happening. And what better timing with the 2026 World Cup coming to North America and the final to be played in the United States.

Whoever thought up the name 'El Traffico' is a marketing genius!!!!!!!!!

i’m like a week late but i just saw this and subbed / liked immediately!! there’s so much to love about the league like the mls cup matches (‘14 galaxy revs and ‘16 seattle toronto were classics), the double post pk in portland, rooney against orlando, new stadiums all around and much more 😭 hope you are here for the long haul mate, genuine great guy vibes are telling even through a screen across the pond 👍🏽

LA Galaxy was my team for about 8/9 years? But now I am die-hard LAFC. And for the life of me I cannot remember who won this game!! But I do hope it was at the Banc Stadium. It's gorgeous!

The beautiful Game. I love it.

Its actually called El Traffico and watch the away or the one at LAFC game

I forgot Ashley Cole was on the Galaxy!

Saw this live, one of the most insane games I’ve ever watched!! I still get goosebumps watching that Zlatan goal

Now that SoFi Stadium has been built, I think it would be awesome to have El Trafico played there maybe one game a season or every other season.⚽️

Love these soccer reactions!

Dude I don't watch soccer but for some reason I ended up watching that game live on TV and it was absolutely nuts. Best soccer game I've ever seen.

After 2016, the Galaxy had a bad few years. Even though we didn’t win the trophies with him (didn’t even make the Playoffs bafflingly in 2018), Zlatan coming in and scoring 52 goals in 56 matches papered over the cracks of that period.

Was at that game, the best game I’ve ever been to

I was in the stands for this game. It was a particularly hot day and I remember not being able to sit in my normal seats in the North End because the stadium was super-packed. It took me 15 minutes to get into the stadium and LAFC scored their first goal by the time I got in. I haven't experienced a crowd like that in a while. It was like a Cup Final but with a great percentage of people that automatically hate you for no reason at all. Because--surprise, surprise--at the heart of the LAFC fandom is a dark heart full or hate, hypocrisy, and betrayal. They all deserve each other. But, yeah, at the end of the match, I felt physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. What a great match.

It was awesome im a Seattle Sounder fan and these new rivalries are weak but this one is the only one I like. It doesn't have the History but it does have the grudge match on the pitch and off.

I don't think soccer will displace basketball any time soon. It might overtake baseball, though. Much as I love the Padres and MLB baseball, the audience for that sport is admittedly much older. Baseball fans are aging, and there aren't as many new fans coming in to replace them. The NBA and MLS both seem to have much younger fanbases, so they'll both continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

I was at this game. I'm a Galaxy fan and I was going crazy when Zlatan scored those goals!

I’m glad you reacted to this legendary match. The first ever El Traffico is one of the best MLS games in MLS history! Very memorable! Please for sure react to more MLS content!

Man I was there at that game, getting fucked with and getting non stop calls from my friends when we were down 0-3 and me telling the that the game wasn’t over. Then when the come back started I lost my voice lol

Best game I have ever attended!! It's going to be hard to beat!

You should check out the save the crew series, it’s about a MLS fan base that almost lost their team, it’s very good

That game was absolutely nuts to watch. I jumped off my couch. If you love comebacks, you'd love Sporting KC this year... 5 come from behind wins in 12 matches played. We're getting gray hair at a calamitous rate this year.

Definitely go to Banc of California Stadium (LAFC's). It's a nice ground, and right near downtown. They call it "The Banc".

Please keep the MLS content coming 🙏

World Cup in NA hopefully a US medal appearance boost the league even more.

Bob Bradley also coached Swansea for a very short amount of time

i truly wish more Brits were like you Kabir! unfortunately most British people ive encountered have little respect for American soccer/football fans. ive been a Chelsea fan for almost 20 years but many of them talk as if im not a real fan because im American.

Sitting in ACB and shutting up Chivas 2.0 was amazing, I will remember that day for the rest of my life. #GzUP

I love the mls, nice to see non Americans enjoying it as well! League is on the up

It's called el traffico not la Darby dude and la is blue, white, and gold!!

I wonder what Kabir would say regarding the quality of play in the MLS compared to the best leagues in Europe; Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1. Or if he thinks any of the teams in MLS could play in one of the Euro Leagues and not be relegated. I'd love to see MLS somehow sneak into a Champions League type of situation with the top Euro Leagues. That would be a blast.

I was in the stands when Zlatan made that strike.. I can see it to this day in my mind

I've been an LAFC season ticket holder since day 1. This match destroyed me.

Should react to the USL Championship stadiums! It is the 2nd division in the US with USL League 1 being the 3rd division. There is no pro/rel yet but the USL is working towards it in the future

Yea i agree America will catch up too Europe soon. Because quite alot of us 90s/early 2000 kids grew up on some type of field be that soccer/football or any other sport. And most of us are all grown up nowadays.

LA is MASSIVE. I lived there for 7 years. The stadiums are 20 miles apart, and they're both still in LA.

Giving one slot in the UEFA CL to the MLS team that wins the MLS Cup would be very interesting. I guess it wouldn't really be the UEFA Champions League any more then though. MLS teams do get slots into the CONCACAF equivalent of the Champions League though.

Bob was also manager of Swansea for a short stint in the Prem, and honestly don't think he was given a fair shake to right the ship. But you know the life expectancy of a manager in the Premier League.

Some known MLS Rivalries: California Classico = San Jose Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy (The original long standing California rivalry. Northern Cal vs Southern Cal. It's a rivalry in every US sport. LA dodgers vs SF Giants, Rams vs 49ers, etc) SuperClassico = LA Galaxy vs Chivas USA (the original LA derby. Chivas folded due mismangement & misconduct reborn as LAFC) El Traffico= LA Galaxy vs. LAFC (name is a reference to the horrible LA traffic. New but really it's the exact same fanbases as the superclassico. LAFC is just reborn as a much better LA brand than Chivas USA could be.) Cascadia Cup = Seattle Sounders vs. Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Portland Timbers (I think named for the Cascadia mountain range that is near the teams. Don't know how it works but i'm guessing who ever wins the most gets to hold the trophy for a year.) There are other rivalries but honestly I don't pay that much attention to them. Sidenote: in the US certain cities have historical rivalries. Like San Francisco vs Los Angeles, New York vs Boston, New York Vs Philadelphia, Washington DC vs Dallas. Atlanta vs New Orleans, Chicago vs St. Louis. So if a new team pops up in one of these towns they will automatically have a rival. And if you're a New York or LA team everybody will hate you anyways. lol.

Rip sigi ... la galaxy and Seattle sounder legend

Probably not basketball, but I do think it will catch up to baseball in the next decade.

It’s the fastest growing sport in the last 20 years. It’s third in tv viewers

Ashley Cole played for the Galaxy in this match.

As a (American) neutral (in St. Louis), I love your take on football in the States!

That was a crazy game

As an LA Galaxy fan, I watch that game once a month for motivation😂

Bro, you keep rollin' out the hits. I watched this game live, and I used to live in LA. I was back in Connecticut by the time this game happened, but I watched it live. Zlatan landed late on a Thursday night in LA. He had 2 light training sessions on Friday. Saturday was the game. It was LAFC's first year in the league. The game is at LA Galaxy's stadium. LA Galaxy went down early and badly. By the 70th minute, everyone was calling for Zlatan... the whole stadium. He goes in right around 70 minutes... and then made MLS history. I had NEVER seen a crowd go bat-shit like that on TV. Maybe when Rooney had the last second long pass assist to win at home for DC United... but that wasn't as big. This is already considered pretty much by everyone as the best goal of all time in MLS.

Kabir... This is a great recap video (your reference video - I've watched this recap video of the match myself)... but you should watch the actual extended highlights of the match. It's crazy.

Bob Bradley was manager for Swansea. Obviously you know Vela, they also had Bradley Wright Phillips. And Sebastian Lleget is Becky G's man

I wasn't in the stadium, and I am a neutral. But I was shaking and crying when I watched this happen live. I felt like there had been a 9/11 type of event or something it was the strangest feeling. I couldnt believe they came back and zlatan did it the first game back from his Knee surgery.

RIP Sigi

Now u should do the Hudson River Derby

Funny I was just looking to see if had reacted to this yesterday lol

I'm waiting to see how El Trafico grows a decade or 2 from now it is only young rivalry and still brewing but I hope it'll be as intense as the other MLS rivalries. This rivalry interests me because it heavily reminds me of the El Clasico of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

I was at the game, i live in middlesbrough but have been a galaxy fan for 13 years now, been to half the stadiums in the MLS and am a proud member of the Angel City Brigade, i traded Boro in for a new sexier model called the LA GALAXY. The league was an absolute joke when i first started going but its improved dramatically in the last decade. Had the best of times traveling round north america with my LA homies for over a decade.

I was actually at the first two game in person they were both 🔥

It's called the 32shitty2 lol

Watch the 2007 texas derby with the houston dynamo and fc dallas the 2nd leg. Insane match

yo bro react to austin FC’s highlights last night if you get the chance! sold out crowd, scored their first goal at home (won 4-1), and the place was ROCKING!

All US need is a good as soccer team

React to MLS All Star game vs Bayern Munich 2014

Now you saw the LA rivalry now you need to watch the NY Derby one

Could you please bring MLS reactions back?

La vs la is good but never compare it to seattle vs Portland

RIP Sigi 🙏🏽

You had to be there!!! I was. What a game!! From that moment onward, I promised myself I will always attend an El Trafico derby. The pandemic had me edit that to I will never miss a game whether I go in person or on tv!! You’ve got to watch the Quaterfinal match between them!!

These games are always crazy. I like them especially when they play LAFC at Banc of California Stadium. LAFC has one of or maybe the best fans in MLS in terms of atosmsphere. NY favorite two chants are the "Jump for LA Football club" and "Call to Arms" Chant. The most hyped I've ever seen it though was the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League against Clun Leon from Mexico

Found your way to some views by stroking our lovely American ego. I love it.

New york derby next plz

El Trafico!

Your probably right on soccer catching up to basketball.. Some cities that have had a team for a while the pendulum needs to swing back to be popular, but new comers like Atlanta it’s crazy.

Bradly did coach the USMNT... yes.

I can't wait for the day that LA Galaxy is gonna be back on top of the league They hold the record for most MLS Cup with 5 and the last they won it was in 2014 and after that they just felt off even though a few times they landed in the playoffs but couldn't quite just make it to the championship. That is just like saying Real Madrid suddenly fell off the map after winning multiple UEFA Champions League.

Hey Kabir i think you would love this video please react to NFL bad lip reading

I think one of the best Soccer matches of my life was the 2011 Women’s World Cup Semi-Final: US vs Brazil - US down 1 (and looking bad) in extra time)...and then a miracle.

Great reaction Kabir, ready for that LAFC vs Philadelphia Union reaction. Pretty much the last American sports event nationally-televised before COVID lockdown

I don't know about matching NBA for popularity or profitability, but certainly NHL. Hockey just isn't that big in southern states, or states that don't have NHL teams. I mean, here in Kansas City, we played soccer & basketball (as well as football & baseball) in school, but not hockey, & for the most part, we just don't care about NHL. We haven't had an NBA team in 40 years, but NBA is still followed here, because basketball is still played - competitively - at the local colleges, but there's no hockey in sight.

And Also please react Real Madrid Barcelona and David Beckham Robbie Keane Frank Lampard And Anton Ferdinand Didier Drogba Ashley Young goals please

Attendance is already higher than basketball and hockey and about 5000 away from baseball

El Trafico

Need to react to dos a cero

LAFC supporter here. Please react to LAFC v Galaxy mls cup playoffs 2019 where we said goodbye to zlatan

React to F1 Worst Crashes and Flips And Longer range goals in mls and premier league and others league’s and fifa 21 and others FIFA’s please

You have to watch the coppa 90 video on this

Ahhh lafc ... Seattle’s plaything!

I am an lafc fan but I couldn't be mad

Loved it! Thanks so much for reacting to this. I was at that game, LA Galaxy Season Ticket Holder for 14 years, and that was the greatest match I'd ever experienced. From the absolute depths of despair to the heights of joy... such such happy memories. :)

Do the red bulls vs dc/nycfc

unfortunately, the la galaxy didn’t make the playoffs that year and to make things even worse, that exact same year, the la galaxy manager passed away (sigi schmidt)

Do some more weather related videos
