Test

Hey everyone, quick question. If I'm looking to get some recreational kickboxing training in here in Los Angeles, which clubs actually offer that—any recommendations?

USL Championship | FC El Paso - FC Saint Louis over 2.5 goals @ 1.70 (2-3) | SS

These two teams play high-scoring games—even by US soccer standards. Looking at the home, away, and head-to-head stats, you get the sense this will be an open match where both sides hunt for goals, regardless of what the raw numbers suggest.

USL Championship | LA Galaxy - Inter Miami over 2.5 goals @ 1.70 (2-0) | SS

The odds on the away side scoring feel a bit generous, considering they're a top-tier squad that finds the net consistently. For instance, they put three past the current league leaders just last week. As for today's hosts, they've managed to score in four of their last five road trips—counting both league and cup play.

Watching from the sidelines at the Staples Center. ☕

I caught a rumor on a forum suggesting the visitors might be missing five key players—including Marquinhos and D. Iliev—but I'm wondering how much weight to actually give that. Personally, if things are trending this way, I’d probably take a smaller position on the 2.

Also:

Slaven Belupo - Miami 2 @ 1.95 - DraftKings (1:2)

The home side is in a complete freefall right now—eight straight losses, including their cup match. They're facing an away team that isn't exactly dominant on the road, but about 90% of their roster is objectively better than anything Slaven has to offer. Miami's lineup features guys like Križanac, Dujmović, M. Bilić, Belle, Erceg, and several other top-tier American league talents. A win today would leapfrog them over Lokomotiva into fourth place, which puts them in line for the EL—and honestly, making that tournament is the whole point for them.

Dalmacijanews reports:

Miami's lineup should look something like this today: Zagorac, Ibriks, Križanac, Glumac, Glavin, Dujmović, Vidović, Vojnović, Erceg, Belle, Bilić.

So, they're fielding their strongest possible squad, absences don't seem to be an issue, and I expect them to walk away with three points while Slaven Belupo's nightmare run continues. On the flip side, Slaven is reportedly missing a few: Filipović, Crepulja, Grgić, and Purić.

Well, nothing to be done about it—just my own mistake and moving too fast. 🙈

I didn't even realize you could adjust the font and size on your own. Thanks anyway. 😁

I’ve noticed some users have these really polished signatures—different colors, custom fonts, and all that—but those styling options seem to be locked for regular members. I’m assuming that kind of customization is reserved for the mods or certain admin levels, but I was wondering who I should actually reach out to if there's a way to get something like that set up?

Though, she could always put in a bit more effort and actually spoil him... maybe set up a candlelit bath for two or something. Honestly, there are a million ways she could make him happy. 😉
Oh, and a sensual massage crossed my mind too.

Look, that was just a joke—not an actual solution for intimacy, though I doubt he’d complain if it happened. He should just pick up an unknown, prep a nice dinner, maybe include a massage; I really don't think he'll be unhappy. At least I wouldn't be. 😍

It doesn't necessarily have to be a gift..

Emily Garcia3 said:To me, perfume just feels like a really impersonal gift. 🤷 It’s only a solid gift if you actually know exactly which perfume they’re obsessed with—otherwise, you're just taking a massive gamble. 😁

Honestly, any gift works—it’s the thought that counts. But if they actually know what you like, it's always better to get something specific. Personally, I wouldn't complain about receiving anything at all, as long as it comes from someone I care about. 😍

Emily Garcia3 said:perfume from $33? 🤔

What's wrong with something like that—maybe even something secondhand. 🤣

It doesn't even have to be perfume; it just feels right for that age group. I'm not being $33 specific about it—just speaking generally.

Kate Jackson6 said:The stuff they sell at those street stalls at the local flea market 😬

🤣

Give me a break—sometimes they actually know their stuff better (not just with perfumes, but other things too) than those insanely expensive brands. I don't shop at places like that often, but I've heard plenty of stories.

Why not? It doesn't have to be anything crazy expensive—maybe just something symbolic, like fifty or a hundred bucks. A nice cologne and that kind of vibe is perfectly fine for a 23-year-old guy.

I was asking about kickboxing here once upon a time—got an answer back then—but now I can't even find the thread or figure out if this place is still active. Anyway, I'm looking for a kickboxing club in Los Angeles for some recreational training—basically just looking for somewhere that offers that kind of thing and what their requirements are. I'm 22.

I don't think there's actually an option to delete your profile. You can edit or remove a post for a little while—just a short window—but after that, you lose the ability to do either.

Is the forum acting a bit sluggish for anyone else lately, or is it just my connection?
It took me a good 15 or 20 seconds just to load this thread—usually, it’s much snappier than that.

See, that’s the issue—even the smileys weren't working for me. 😬

It just isn't the same without the IMG code; hopefully, things get back to normal soon.

I’m with you on this one. The movie isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it isn't a total train wreck either—it's just your standard, middle-of-the-road flick to me. That said, once you throw Statham into the mix, it becomes a pretty solid way to kill some time. 😁

Palermo vs. Bologna kicks off in about 10 minutes—and looking at their recent history when they play at home, things get interesting. They've actually won five straight matchups against them. The kicker is that four of those games ended with these exact scores:

3:1
4:1
3:1
4:1

LAFC should take this, though a 1.45 odd feels a bit too low for my liking.

On paper—looking at pure talent, current form, the standings, and home-field advantage—LAFC ought to walk away with three points. But things aren't quite that simple:

The Galaxy haven't been their favorite matchup lately; they've actually failed to secure a win in their last three outings at home against them.

There’s also the issue of the backline—they're missing those three key center-backs—and even if they do return, they haven't had much recent playing time to shake off any rust. On top of that, Maglica is out due to yellow card accumulation, which is a blow considering he’s been hitting his stride—he just netted two in that 2-0 win over San Jose.

My pick would be 1, but honestly, I wouldn't bet the house on it.

Zachary Hayes5 said:You've got Ameno over by South Beach and then there's Mornar down near the stadium—honestly, those two seem like the best bets out there...🙂
I think the monthly fee is around $67, just give them a quick Google search and see what you think...

Thanks for the heads-up 👍
