Every fan has an explanation of what went wrong. Here's our take.
It is much too simple of an argument to point at one player or the lack thereof and lay all of the blame on them for what happened in L.A. on Saturday night. RSL lost, and they lost bad. There's no getting around that and there's no excuse for it.
But if we are being honest, the warning signs were there. RSL is not going to repeat what they did in Kansas City every time. In Kansas City, Cassar trotted out a lineup that not too many people expected to get a result.
