    LAFC STILL Unbeaten! Fans React to Austin Match

    Our reaction to LAFC's tense 0-0 loss-tie at Austin FC, with a tired LAFC squad playing in 90+ degree heat in Austin, where they've historically struggled. The goals were lacking but the sheets remain record-breakingly CLEAN. We break down the historic defensive start, the slow offensive start, everything in between, and as always a bunch of random shit that has nothing to do with any of that, like movies set in space and who will win Survivor this season. 00:00 Postgame Introductions 00:34 Zero Zero Loss Bit 01:25 Tired Legs No Rotation 03:01 Game Plan Counter Press 05:33 Happy Foot Clean Sheets 07:27 Unlocking Son Bouanga 14:31 Set Piece Frustrations 18:11 Super Chats And Banter 25:10 Call In David Martinez 28:07 Bouanga Vs Son Debate 31:54 Call In Diego Howdy 37:48 Call In Austin Perspective 43:46 Visitors Tunnel Chaos 44:17 Tottenham Fans at BMO 44:51 Geoff Talk Returns 45:39 Interstellar Debate 48:02 No Happy Feet Tonight 48:56 Rotation and Sub Questions 50:36 Why Geoff Is the Heel 55:09 Movie Night and Patreon Plug 57:50 Defense Dominance Breakdown 01:00:36 Pickup Soccer and Aging 01:02:53 Starting XI and Boudri Talk 01:08:31 Stadium Food Wishlist 01:13:30 Survivor 50 Predictions 01:18:19 Model UN Drinking Story 01:22:07 Final Thoughts and Signoff Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.

    We react to LAFC’s 1-1 home... loss? to Alajuelense in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, LAFC's worst-feeling performance of the season despite a dominant stat line (31 shots, 13 on target) and an Alajuelense goalkeeper with double-digit saves.

    LAFC Fans React to Clutch 1-0 Victory vs Dallas

    Travis, Darren, and Vince recap LAFC’s... tbh? frustrating 1-0 home win over FC Dallas that keeps LAFC perfect through five games the club’s best-ever start with 13 goals scored and just one allowed (what a sentence!) Hugo Lloris' and the back line saved the match for us, as Dallas looked sharp, pressed hard, and boxed out Denis Bouanga and Son Heung-min. The breakthrough came from David Martinez’s long-range strike - the same one we've spend 3 seasons praising him for always taking, because we NEVER DOUBTED DAVID MARTINEZ! 00:00 Five Straight Wins 01:01 Lloris Saves the Day 02:36 Dallas Game Plan Surprise 04:20 LAFC Attack Stalls 08:32 Martinez Breakthrough Goal 12:53 Midfield Creativity Concerns 15:37 Dave Denholm Joins 21:31 Ref Talk and VAR Rants 26:32 Super Chats and Drew Fisher 30:31 Luigi Birthday Call 33:00 Cubby and Joey Updates 35:12 Pauly Rants and Praise 39:49 The Lucky Hat Lore 41:45 Yeboah Investigation Talk 44:55 Luke on Hugo Heroics 48:34 Standings and Next Matches 50:24 Meeting Fans and Wrap Up Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.
