PLAYOFF POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Seattle (Western Conference Semifinal) 24.11.2024

It brings me no pleasure to say this but… that’s sports baby. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down what is a disastrous end of a very weird season. We feel it all: anger, sadness, grief, maybe even a little horny? Then Noah from Lobbing Scorchers comes on to rub it in and we lose our minds. This wasn’t our smartest postgame pod but it WAS our stupidest. Be back with a season recap episode soon but...

LAFC v SEATTLE PLAYOFF PREVIEW: Seattle Mutilation 20.11.2024

OOPS! ALL BANTER: Secret Confessions From LAFC Fans *TEASER* 16.11.2024

PLAYOFF POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Vancouver (Match 2) 04.11.2024

Well it happened. We finally were forced to return the favor for Vanni Sartini, who honestly was too generous to us for too long. That game was one of the worst of the season: two own goals, deeply boring play, a goalie standing on his head against us, and Olivier Giroud standing in place! Plus, we had the return of #DoloOut in the chat, something we always love to talk about and it never makes us...

PLAYOFF POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Vancouver (Rd. 1 Match 1) 28.10.2024

Darren here. I asked Travis if he wrote the description for this and he responded “I took a sleeping pill. I’m cruising right now.” And never responded again. This after LAFC's comfortable victory over Vancouver sparked a postgame show that featured - as usual - a way-too-wide range of topics that no one asked for, including, but not limited to, CARLOS VELA'S RETURN TO THE PITCH(!), the failure th...

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Vancouver Whitecaps 14.10.2024

Ilie can win MLS Cup with this kick. "Game on the line How do I make the smart choice? I remember what's worked and what hasn't. This goalie knows exactly where I'm going to shoot. He's smart but hesitant. I'm not. Bottom right, all in. So let it fly."

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Sporting Kansas City 06.10.2024

Guys... I think we're back. Travis and Vince break down a breezy victory with very little to complain about. LAFC clinches top 4 in the West, Bouanga finally misses a PK, and Aaron Long scores a Bouanga Blast. Plus Geoff joins to slowly but surely destroy his career by talking crap about a lot of potential employers. What an idiot! Two games left before the playoffs, baby! Join our Patreon and hel...

SPORTING KC MATCH PREVIEW: Are We Back? Or Do We Have Food Poisoning? 04.10.2024

You'll NEVER GUESS the SHOCKI...

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v St Louis CITY 03.10.2024

In the words of Daniel, "3 points. Nothing else matters. On to the next." But BOY WAS I ANGRY AT THAT REF. Giroud's beautiful first MLS goal was called off, Bouanga had a classic BB, Olivera did something with his head we don't have to ever talk about again. and This postgame had everything: Vince in front of a hot dog, Darren reiterating how much Open Cup means to us, Travis finally explaining th...
