LA Galaxy's Sebastian Lletget on how to take the perfect selfie | SIDELINE

Dan Gargan, Alan Gordon, and Sebastian Lletget in a hot tub

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 season’s not over, but we’re pretty sure you may have won the league’s Thirst Trap Cup. You scored some points with your own oily spoof of that NYCFC magazine spread, but you’ve really outdone yourselves with the latest episode of “Gargs and Gordo.”


Congrats! You’ve reached the logical conclusion of Sebastian Lletget’s incredible social media game, getting him shirtless into a hot tub. You’ve unlocked the mystery of how he got the nickname “Da Boy.” (It came to him, allegedly, in a shower epiphany; apparently Lletget thrives in slippery environments.)


And, Gargs and Gordo, you’ve really outdone yourselves with unveiling the secrets of Lletget’s selfie game. Finally, we understand how he perfected his own version of Blue Steel! Your own attempts aren’t too bad, either.


So thank you for this gift before the long holiday weekend. We’ll just be over here rewinding – you know, to make sure we fully absorbed the photography lessons.
