Travis, Darren and Vince recap LAFC’s 3-1 win over Toluca (with one goal controversially disallowed after a lengthy VAR offside review so, sure, 2-1). LAFC went toe-to-toe with an in-form Toluca, Hugo Lloris’ AGAIN made key saves, Sonny AGAIN had two assists, with goals from Tim Tillman and Nkosi Tafari. Second leg up in the sky at Toluca with Bouanga back!

Darren and Vince preview LAFC’s double-match week: the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal first leg vs Toluca followed by an MLS trip to San Diego. How will LAFC will look without suspended Denis Bouanga? How scared should we be of Toluca? Should we even care about San Diego at all? How did Travis somehow write a feature film that is now being made starring Emma Stone and Chris Pine while also recording 300 episodes of this podcast? ALL WILL BE REVEALED.

Darren and Vince recap LAFC’s much-needed 1-0 road win at Minnesota, emphasizing heavy rotation, key starters getting rest ahead of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals vs Toluca, and three points banked for later in the season. ANOTHER clean sheet for Hugo Lloris; David Martinez put on a SHOW, and Timothy Tillman DARES you to find something to pick at in his performance. A much needed reset on rest and confidence before Wednesday. Are we back!?!?

A deeply dull, frustrating 0-0 draw with the Colorado Rapids; one of the most boring, nerdy matches we've ever seen at BMO. No injuries, the return of Aaron Long and Stephen Eustáquio, and Hugo Lloris continuing his stint as a human brick wall are all we'd like to remember from this one. The schedule has pounded us and we played like it. Unfortunately we've got a lot of games, and big games, looking right at us in the coming days and weeks. The season rollercoaster has officially put us on the first big turn heading into Minnesota, then the CONCACAF Champions Cup Semis. Hold on tight!

Can LAFC snap a two-game MLS losing streak? How tired are they, and will they only get more tired with this packed upcoming schedule? Can Marc Dos Santos find the right strategic rotation? Can we finally unlock Son Heung-min's goal scoring? YES! To some of those! Are we back? Please!?

Travis and Vince react to LAFC’s humiliating 4–1 home loss to San Jose, calling it the team’s worst performance of the season and a game LAFC largely lost through its own sloppy play. A second-half meltdown featured three goals conceded in six minutes off glaring defensive mistakes; missed chances in attack;and a lack of urgency and off-ball movement. Add poor finishing and decision-making from the front line and this one was brutal. RIP Hugo Lloris' clean-sheet streak. Wednesday’s match vs Colorado is a chance to reset ahead of big CONCACAF Champions Cup games vs. Toluca. Happy LAFC Kids Day I guess.

We preview Sunday's LAFC's home match vs. San Jose. Travis tries to outsource Storylines to Claude and it goes POORLY. Still, we cover the road ahead in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals, the state of LAFC's roster, and a San Jose Earthquakes team on it's way into town that's... actually good???

LAFC has eliminated reigning CONCACAF champions Cruz Azul, winning 4-1 on aggregate! Despite a questionable penalty and missed reds by the awful ref, Hugo Lloris delivered an incredible performance in net during this dirty fight. Next up: Galaxy or Toluca, even without Bouanga for Leg 1! Don't touch that dial!
