With Sebastian Lletget the subject of this week's MLS Insider, it seems an appopriate time to look back at some fantastic insider reporting from his LA Galaxy teammates near the end of the 2015 season:
Dear Dan Gargan and Alan Gordon,
The seasonās not over, but weāre pretty sure you may have won the leagueās Thirst Trap Cup. You scored some points with your own oily spoof of that NYCFC magazine spread, but youāve really outdone yourselves with the latest episode of āGargs and Gordo.ā
Congrats! Youāve reached the logical conclusion of Sebastian Lletgetās incredible social media game, getting him shirtless into a hot tub. Youāve unlocked the mystery of how he got the nickname āDa Boy.ā (It came to him, allegedly, in a shower epiphany; apparently Lletget thrives in slippery environments.)
And, Gargs and Gordo, youāve really outdone yourselves with unveiling the secrets of Lletgetās selfie game. Finally, we understand how he perfected his own version of Blue Steel! Your own attempts arenāt too bad, either.
So thank you for this gift before the long holiday weekend. Weāll just be over here rewinding ā you know, to make sure we fully absorbed the photography lessons.
