## Resource

We preview LAFC’s MLS match vs Seattle on Sunday. We break down Denis Bouanga’s public apology after comments about LAFC playing differently this year and the difficulty connecting with Son Heung-min. How does it affect the fate of coach Marc Dos Santos, fan backlash, and tactical improvements? What could and should happen during this World Cup break for the squad? What does this match vs Seattle mean for LAFC leading into this break? And what does California Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer have to say about issues that matter to LAFC fans?
