Palmeries were solid, but a decent European team would have battered Seattle's defence last night, and had very little problem dealing with their attacks.
I would sooner play ANY US team over a Brazilian team though, the Brazilian's are more defence minded too, and have a way killing play from the opposition.
Chelsea have a Brazilian team and an American team in their group, and im calling it now that we'll have a much easier time against LA tonight than we will Flamengo later on

don't call LAFC weak please

they are the better of the two LA teams nowadays, whereas Galaxy kinda faded into mid tier, below mid tier team sadly
Cherundolo is a great coach too
they have quite a decent bunch of players like Hugo Lloris, Olivier Giroud, Javairo Dilrosun, Marlon, the older of the two Tillman's: Timothy Tillman
btw Oka Nikolov is their goalkeeping coach, idk you remember him, from Bundesliga, where he played for Eintracht Frankfurt between 1995 and 2013
