Marcus Ingvartsen

They had Daryl Deacon and they were able to pull off that play.

Well, at the end of the night, SDFC could retreat to their locker room and say, we had to fly over 2,000 miles to get to this match to play a 95 degree heat and, you know, 50% humidity and without Tverskov and without Ingvartsen.

And we threw a lot of spaghetti at the wall.

We kept faithful to our system.

He's a complete newbie within the system and with these players, and it feels like the players are continuing to evolve and change as well.

But I really am looking forward, guys, to seeing the Achouri, Ingvartsen, Dryer Front line, because the Morgan, Ingvartsen, Meiten front line isn't gonna get this club into the playoffs.

You know, um, I, I could push back a little bit on that one because I, I didn't think Morgan played that bad.

Um, he was actually-

But they gotta start pushing wins.

Okay, very last thing, then we're gonna get to post-match sound, then we're gonna get to preview, then we're gonna get out of here.

Do we think Marcus Ingvartsen is in a slump right now? Is this a, a, a, an abiding issue for the Chrome and Azul? Alex, I know you were sending us texts in the group chat in pre-match that you felt like he couldn't hit the side of a barn.

Basically, Ingvartsen did have a lovely little head flick on a corner piece that turned into just a good save, uh, for Portland along the way, but that could've been a goal, uh, on Wednesday night.

He's a real guy.

Yeah, and Ingvartsen and Lewis Morgan.

So compared to last year, it being Amal Pellegrino, Chucky Lozano, and Anders Dreyer that we regularly saw.

What was that

He's got a very aggressive Luca Bombino on the wings.

He's got a very aggressive trying to feed this center forward, Marcus Ingvartsen, as pure of a goal scorer as it gets up top.

11 goals already in 2026.

So look out for Marcus Ingvartsen.

11 goals in all competitions.

And for LAFC, well, let's see.

I think LAFC comes out of this one with a 3-1 win.

It's still a very good offensive team there in San Diego.
