POSTGAME POD: LAFC v. San Jose (But We Played Like They Were Miami And We Were San Jose)

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 this show.Merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

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. Plus, Darren cries about his bet not cashing (and it's REALLY pathetic).

The following is a quote from Mr. Goaltee himself Kiké Olivera: "I'm coming outI want the world to know, got to let it showI'm coming outI want the world to know, I got to let it showThere's a new me coming out and I just had to liveAnd I wanna give, I'm completely positiveI think this time around, I am gonna do itLike you never knew it, oh, I'll make it throughThe time has come for me to break out of this shellI have to shout that I am coming outI'm coming out, I want the world to knowI got to let it show (I'm coming)I'm coming outI want the world to know, I got to let it showI'm coming outI want the world to know, I got to let it showI'm coming outI want the world to know, I got to let it showI've got to show the world all that I wanna beAnd all my abilities, there's so much more to meSomehow I'll have to make them just understandI got it well in hand and oh how I have plannedI'm spreadin' love, there is no need to fearAnd I just feel so good, every time I hearI'm coming out, I want the world to knowI got to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming out, I want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm, I'm coming outI have to shout that I'm coming outI want the world to knowGot to let it showI'm coming, I'm coming out"We won 3-0, suck on that Sartini.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

It's our favorite time of the year: talking about the Vancouver Whitecaps!!!! We just LOVE to talk about that interesting team! 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 them in last year's MLS Cup playoffs. Like, we talk about it, A LOT.

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.

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 live chat, we confidently navigated every shade of black on this one. Gold: TBD. Maybe it'll be in Vegas! But that's a thing a lot of people say, and they don't often find it there. We thought Travis picked the wrong week to be there, but this turned out to be a good match to miss. Rest up.

Two matches in one week? What is this... 2023? Darren, Travis, and Vince are back with a DOUBLE EPISODE covering our Levi Stadium match up against the San Jose Earthquakes and the US Open Cup match up against a team with kiddie pools lining the stadium. We talk LAFC's surprisingly good April, we give all the players Vegas recs, and spend way too long talking just how full Levi Stadium will look on Saturday. Plus, Travis plugs his wife's show for way too long. If the house always wins, I hope the house is owned by Will Ferrell!!!!

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. And say it with me folks... BOUANGA BLAST!!!!!!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.BRAND NEW merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

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 and ruin his season only to have his replacement score an own goal before Long is even able to leave the pitch. Meanwhile, is Bouanga.... BACK!??? It's possible Bouanga is back. Bouanga might be back. But in the end, maybe all that really matters is that we tread water long enough to make it to the summer transfer window. As boring as that is. Leave it to Geoff Tock, Heel Of The Foot, to come up with a take this boring.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.BRAND NEW merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

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. Then we're joined by Keaton Cashier of the 42 Originals LAFC Supporter Group who talks about what a cannabis supporter group actually does and why it matters to the game. And of course, we talk about how a man on the Red Bulls abandoned his wife and kids to play in New Jersey! That's truly insane! We spend a lot of time talking about that! But we should have talked about it more because it's truly wild!!! 4/20 BLAZE IT.Follow Keaton Cashier on Instagram.Follow the 42 Originals on Instagram.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.BRAND NEW merch available now at HappyFootSadFootPod.com.Twitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.
