World Cup Appearances: 6th
Best Finish: Quarterfinals (1998)
Toward the end of September, it looked like LAFC was about to unlock the best of Gareth Bale. He hadn't scored in his last seven appearances (totaling 245 minutes) after finding the net twice in his first four (96 minutes), but more importantly, the 33-year-old Welshman had just recorded his second start.
For the first time in far too long, MLS Cup is a meeting between the premier teams in the Western and Eastern Conferences. If it feels like we've been waiting a while for this sort of heavyweight clash, the anticipation is only heightened by two sides that make creating a 2022 MLS Cup prediction feel like a fool's errand.
Both teams and their respective squads have been steadily building towards this moment for years, and the pain of falling agonizingly short time after time has been eased with a first-ever MLS Cup appearance for both clubs.
France midfielder Paul Pogba will miss their World Cup title defense after failing to recover from knee surgery in time for next month's tournament in Qatar, his agent said on Monday.
Pogba had an operation on a damaged meniscus in September but his agent said that, following a medical review, he would not be able to return to the Juventus squad or join up with France before the Nov. 20-Dec. 18 World Cup.

Best Finish: Champions (1998, 2018)
Pasó lo que todo imaginábamos que pasaría. Pachuca superó a Toluca en la final del Apertura 2022 y consiguió la séptima estrella de su historia en la Liga MX.
Los Tuzos hicieron gran parte de la tarea en el duelo de ida, triturando a los Diablos con un 5-1 a domicilio. Y en la revancha, no hubo relajo. En el Estadio Hidalgo, el Pachuca ganó 3-1 para un global de 8-2, el marcador más abultado en una definición del balompié azteca.
LAFC buscará su primer título de la MLS luego de vencer por 3-0 a Austin FC, en la final de la Conferencia Oeste de la liga estadounidense. Y gran parte del mérito angelino estuvo en los pies del mexicano Carlos Vela, quien participó de manera directa en dos de los tres goles.
Desde que renovó su contrato con el club a comienzos de 2022, Vela ha repetido una y otra vez que su objetivo es ser campeón de la MLS. Y horas antes del partido ante Austin FC volvió a decirlo.
LAFC reached its first MLS Cup thanks to two well-taken Carlos Vela corners — the first met by Chicho Arango, the second an unfortunate Maxi Urruti own goal — and a late Kwadwo Opoku strike to defeat Austin FC 3-0 in the Western Conference final.
Thanks to its status as Supporters' Shield winner, LAFC will host MLS Cup at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 5 against the winner of the Eastern Conference final between the Philadelphia Union and NYCFC.
El mediocampista de Monterrey, Rodolfo Pizarro, volvió a mostrar su obsesión con The Joker. El jugador, que suele celebrar goles con la sonrisa enfermiza del personaje, sorprendió a sus seguidores disfrazándose como el villano de Batman en medio de las fiestas de Halloween.
There's more unfortunate news for the USMNT midfield with just 22 days to go until lining up against Wales: Weston McKennie, after coming off injured at the start of the second half during Juventus' 1-0 win over Lecce on Saturday, has been diagnosed with a thigh injury that'll keep him out for over two weeks.
