MLS Clash: FC Dallas Host LAFC as Son Heung-Min Eyes Debut

Listeners, let's start in Major League Soccer, where FC Dallas is set for a crucial home match against Los Angeles FC tonight. Dallas has climbed into playoff contention after switching to a more solid 3-5-2 formation, earning seven points in their last four games. The big storyline is the potential first league start for Son Heung-Min, who recently joined LAFC from the Premier League and has already made an impact with assists in his first two appearances. Denis Bouanga continues to lead LAFC with 14 goals this season, and Dallas will need a strong defensive effort to keep both stars quiet.

Across the MLS, the LA Galaxy return to regular season play fresh off reaching the semifinals of the Leagues Cup after a dramatic 2-1 win against Pachuca. They face the Colorado Rapids tonight in their 99th all-time meeting, holding a solid historical advantage. Meanwhile, transfer news highlights include Real Salt Lake loaning Polish winger Dominik Marczuk to FC Cincinnati for the rest of the season, acquiring a 2026 first-round SuperDraft pick in return. Real Salt Lake also added USMNT veteran DeAndre Yedlin to their roster and sent academy defender Bode Hidalgo to Montréal. The Chicago Fire and New England Revolution both made moves to acquire international roster slots from Toronto FC and Austin FC, respectively, in deals involving allocation money.

On the U.S. national teams front, upcoming matches are drawing attention. The U.S. Men's National Team is preparing for its next round of World Cup qualifiers, although no immediate results are in yet. The Women's National Team, meanwhile, is preparing for friendlies and Olympic qualifiers, with rising star Catarina Macario and stalwarts like Sophia Smith impressing in training. Women's college soccer also saw some top 10 shakeups, as UCLA fell to Tennessee and Iowa lost to TCU, while UNC continued its tough start to the season.

Internationally, the focus is partly on Premier League action with Erling Haaland maintaining his scoring form for Manchester City and Real Madrid winning their latest La Liga fixture, led by Jude Bellingham’s standout midfield play. Transfer drama remains, with speculation swirling around Kylian Mbappé’s future at PSG and possible late moves before the window closes. Son Heung-Min’s arrival in MLS, after leaving Tottenham, remains a headline story.
