U.S. media out of nowhere selected Son Heung-min as the official "Loser" for "Season 0 Goal, Undoubtedly a Loser"... "I'm annoyed and there's no goal"

LA FC striker Son Heung-min (34)'s silence on goals at the beginning of the season has been prolonged, expressing concerns from local media.

The soccer specialized "Goal Dotcom" settled the performance of major players after the fourth round of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) on the 17th (Korea time), and included Son Heung-min on the "Loser" list that did not meet expectations.

The media pointed out the current situation, citing the famous sports adage that "victory is the greatest deodorant." Currently, LA FC has not given up a single goal since the opening and has won four consecutive games (12 points) to show off its strong side as a favorite.

However, the media reported that eight points in four games were a bit disappointing considering the name values of spectacular strikers such as Son Heung-min and Dnie Vuanga. He pointed out that Son Heung-min's silence was at the center of it.

LAFC won 2-0 in the 2026 MLS fourth round home game against St. Louis at BMO Stadium in LA on the 15th. LAFC, which won its opening four games in a row, was the lone lead in the Western Conference and continued to score four games.

Son played 71 minutes but failed to score an offensive point. Son Heung-min is unable to score a goal in the league.

The media analyzed, "Son Heung-min showed tremendous form with nine goals and three assists in 10 games last season, but he has yet to report a masu-lugging four this season," adding, "I have already posted three assists, but I do not see the sharpness in front of the goal with only two effective shots."

The media pointed out that Son Heung-min's scoreless streak has not yet risen to the surface thanks to the team's perfect winning streak. "As soon as LA FC begins to lose points, the spotlight of criticism will immediately be on Son Heung-min, a leading MVP candidate and key player," he warned.

Anxiety has already been detected. "When Son Heung-min was replaced before the end of the game in the opening match against Inter Miami, he was seen expressing frustrating dissatisfaction with new coach Mark dos Santos," the media said, stressing that the future situation should be watched closely.
