Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

Do you hear that? In the distance? It's the sound of Galaxy's tifo slowly disintegrating at the Rose Bowl last year. Wait, what's that sound? It's the crack of a cooler smashing into a thousand pieces on Christmas Tree Lane. Oh no! What's that smell? Is that an LAFC fan defecating in the stands of BMO Stadium? That's right. We've made it. It's here. El Tráfico. The greatest rivalry in America...

In honor of Mati Bogusz, here are the lyrics to the Polish national anthem: Poland has not yet perished, So long as we still live. What the foreign force has taken from us, We shall with sabre retrieve. March, march, Dąbrowski, From Italy to Poland. Under your command We shall rejoin the nation. We’ll cross the Vistula, we’ll cross the Warta, We shall be Polish. Bonaparte has given us the example...

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Colorado Rapids Sporting Director Fran Taylor RETURNS TO THE SHOW before any LAFC front office member has come on once. Darren and him discuss their childhood memories, why Darren could have gone pro, and Vince asks him why the charts were wrong about Hugo Lloris. We break down all the storylines for this weeks match at the top of the West (tight table) and we pay...

I heard you like goals, so we made the entire game out of goals! Kei Kamara breaks L*ndon D*novan's record. Tomas Àngel scores his first MLS goal. Polish Powerhouse Mati Bogusz gets a diving header brace. And best of all, Travis kissed Vince under the neon lights of Pepsi Plaza. It was a sloppy post-game for a beautifully unsloppy game.

While Travis watches the Tony Awards (because he's at the Tony Awards), Darren cold-reads Travis' Austin FC and San Jose storylines: can LAFC win in Austin? Can they leapfrog RSL and take over first place in the West? Does anyone care about San Jose? Is it all a big ole' trap? Will Darren survive whatever Travis makes him read? IS AUSTIN WEIRD????? The answers to all this and other answers to othe...

When you're rollin, you're rollin. LAFC stole one this afternoon. With both teams playing pretty sloppy, Bouanga and Bogusz ATE to secure the win. Also Orlando blew it, including a missed PK that sailed over the goal and into the stands, which Darren made sure to compare to Baggio's World Cup breakdown and completely ruin Vince's night! With Travis in NYC for the Tony Awards (yes, you read that ri...

And we're back! LAFC sits just 3 points out of the lead in the West and only 96% humidity stands in their way! Vince, Darren, and Travis break down everything you need to know about this Saturday's match including Hugo's streak, Tillman's absence, and whether or not we knew Chanot was from Luxembourg. Plus, we play a game comparing Disneyland to Disneyworld and discuss what the new goalkeeper sign...

With Travis lost at sea, Darren is joined by Vince live outside BMO stadium after a SOUND 1-0 LAFC victory over FC Dallas, with our new look LAFC simply taking care of what is now business as usual, on a Pride Night at BMO with 10/10 vibes. Bouanga came through with maybe the easiest finish he's had all season off a beautiful pass from the hottest player on the squad right now, Mateusz Bogusz. Tha...

Clean Sheet Watch CONTINUES with a beautiful 2-0 victory over tight table buddies Minnesota United, who turns out, might not be so good after all. Travis, Vince and Darren break down everything you need to know while the stream also breaks down in maybe one of the worst string of technical difficulties to pod has ever seen. We talked Pierogi SZN with that a goal of the year candidate for Mati Bogu...

Minnesota is near the top of the table. Dallas is... also on the table. Travis, Darren, and Vince breakdown everything you need to know about the match week, including why our defense is looking unstoppable, if Minnesota is a legit contender, and is Lizzo canceled. Then we play a World Famous Darren Miller Trivia Game where we find out just how connected is the city of Dallas to the state of Minne...

Red Card Giveth. Red Card Taketh Away. Travis and Darren break down our SECOND league road win of the year, in a truly terrifying match up against a shook Atlanta squad. We talk Bogusz' beautiful goal and Bogusz' not so beautiful game. We talk Atuesta's affinity for yellow cards, and Dolo's affinity for never subbing him off. And as always, we spend way too much time discussing something that has...

We are going to the quarterfinals baby!! Darren, Vince, and Travis (in a bathrobe) break down that BARNBURNER of a Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Match where we discuss everything: Tomás Ángel's first start, Tomás Ángel's first goal, and even...

It's time to grow the game baby!!! Darren, Vince, and Travis are back breaking down BOTH games this week, starting first with the VERY IMPORTANT match against Loudoun United in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and then the tough road game against a weak Atlanta squad. We decide once and for all who should start for our defense, play a game about all the exciting tourist options in Loudoun County, and we...

Don't look now, but we're tied for second in the West. This game had everything: Hugo saved penalty, Bouanga Blast Boing Boing, questionable red card, and dozens of people wearing ravioli hats for some reason. Darren, Vince, and Travis break it down everything you need to know from this Wednesday 8am game. And they said we couldn't win on the road, huh? Join our Patreon and help us keep making thi...

It's official: OLIVIER GIROUD IS BLACK AND GOLD and he's excited to play next to superstar Christian Olivera. Travis, Darren, and Vince break down LAFC's masterclass against Vancouver, the question mark hanging over The Smart Choice, and we only mention Vanni Sartini for 60 seconds! Then, we do a quarterly review of our pre-season predictions and circle back, touchbase, all from the 30,000ft view....

The following is a quote from Mr. Goaltee himself Kiké Olivera: "I'm coming out I want the world to know, got to let it show I'm coming out I want the world to know, I got to let it show There's a new me coming out and I just had to live And I wanna give, I'm completely positive I think this time around, I am gonna do it Like you never knew it, oh, I'll make it through The time has come for me to...

Darren, Vince, and Travis break down everything you need to know about Hugo Lloris' struggles, who we might lose or gain this summer, and we answer a ton of listener questions. Plus, we spend like 3 hours talking about Vanni Sartini pantomiming you know what after we beat...

Wow, we really did grow the game tonight, didn't we folks? LAFC flew out to Las Vegas, scored three times on a dirty pitch, and flew home with a feeling of deep regret and sorrow. Olivera got a brace, Romero got some playing time, and the stream was uploaded in 56k. As we all know, the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup is the most important trophy ever created and we are on our way to bringing it home. VEGAS...

LAFC has raised the bar for just how low the floor can go in 2024. Ironically, the one bright spot of this match is that Olivera finally found the net! And the rest is a pit of darkness we waste no time diving into. Between callers venting, Heel Of The Foot Geoff Tock still finding new ways to be a true heel to us, the team, and even the rest of our viewers, and a firestorm of angry fans in the li...

Two matches in one week? What is this... 2023?

Most fun livestream of the season! A hard fought game FINALLY goes our way as we remain unbeaten at home. Vince, Darren, and Travis break down a rollercoaster of a match against the surprisingly good Portland Timbers. We got overconfident, then we got underconfident, and then we got normal confident. We talked Maxime v Hugo. We talked Olivera vs Olivera. And we talked Darren vs his adoring fans. A...

Despite LAFC's less than stellar performance throughout most of the game, they manage to steal a point from the team at the top of the table. We asked for lineup changes! We fucked around and found out, and in some cases what we found out was pretty good (Chanot), in some cases it didn't go so well (Bogusz, Segura), and in some cases, Aaron long slid his leg right into a goal post to save a goal a...

No, you're not dying. You just smoked too much before the 4/20 game this Saturday. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down everything you need to know about this weeks very high match up against MLS leaders Red Bull New York.

PRO Giveth and PRO Taketh Away. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down a frustrating tie on the road that was needed, but still felt like a loss. We talk Palencia trying to fight Max, Bouanga's desperate need for anti-depressants, and even Crépeau getting a red to save us again. There are glimmers of hope with this squad, but is it time to change up our line up? We don't know, we are two dumb guys a...
