Los Angeles Football Club

Yeah, eight teams that have won the Supporters Show and MLS Cup.

The last one to do it was LAFC in 2022.

And if you actually look at it, I think the first four were in the first five or six years of MLS.

So all we're saying is that it's very, very difficult for teams to parlay that.

And this one was no different.

It ended up being 2-2.

And, I mean, LAFC, incredible comeback, scored.

They were down two goals.

Right, from a lot of El Clásico talk to now El Tráfico.

LAFC up against LA Galaxy.

Our friend of the show now, Sergio Roberto, playing in his first El Tráfico.

28th minute now.

but...

Oh, no.

LAFC just needed that sniff, and Danny Buanga, you know how clinical he can be.

He pulls one back for LAFC.

Not going to lie to you.

I thought that LAFC was going to be able to put this game away a lot earlier than they did.

They were the better side for the majority of this game.

They got ahead on the score.

To me, Garces was trying to make that play.

He's just not very good.

So he totally passes it right to the LAFC player.

So to me, they should have won that game, but it goes back to this LAFC team that... has been inconsistent.

Not going to lie to you.

I thought that LAFC was going to be able to put this game away a lot earlier than they did.

They were the better side for the majority of this game.

They got ahead on the score.

One of their goals, I think Garces, they called it a deflection, where they're saying that it was a deflection, so he didn't mean to get the ball away, so still enough sides.

To me, Garces was trying to make that play.

He's just not very good, so he totally passes it right to the LAFC player.

So to me, they should have won that game, but it goes back to this LAFC team that... has been inconsistent.

Well, and I think the other result that kind of stood out in everybody's mind, it was the solo game on Sunday.

LAFC, LA Galaxy, El Trafico.

And man, what a game that was.

And like you said, the implications right there because you have LAFC that are in the sixth seed and LA Galaxy, even though they got a tie, that helped themselves to give some separation into the ninth seed.

into uh rsl which is rsl is only two points behind them uh so you got the galaxy in colorado on eighth and ninth you got seattle in seventh holding off colorado in the galaxy and then you have lafc houston and san jose which are all within one point of each other yep st louis is sitting comfortably at three three points ahead of san jose three points behind dallas and look dallas is only one point behind vancouver dallas

could very well take that spot And before we get to predicting the next games, Portland put up a hell of a battle against Charlotte.

No, not at all.

This catastrophic drop can actually make a huge difference in where they seed at the end of the season.

But just in general... seeing as that we've been to a few other stadiums and MLS, I think that there are things other stadiums are doing that are just superior to what either of our teams are doing.

Yeah, I would say what stands out to me when we think about all the places we visited is the 3252 at LAFC, just like chanting arm and arm, bouncing up and down, moving sideways in the supporter section, it feels a lot closer to a South American or a European setup where it's like the crowd is super into it.

Now it's still not because it is Los Angeles, right? And the casuals are the casuals, but the people that are like, because if you think about Europe, Or, you know, that's probably the best example that comes to mind is there will be entire stadiums singing songs together.

You're saying the current they do chants.

St. Louis, who's gone all the way up to third now, they were below the playoff line pre-World Cup, and now they're third in the West.

They would take on LAFC, who would be the lower seed, funnily enough, and then it would be Quakes and Houston, and then Vancouver would host whoever wins in that play-in match.

So, Right now, this is what it looks like.

Very much so, like Luby said, it's either going to be New England that we play or it's going to be Miami who we play.

Uh, but, uh, if rsl falters that that would be really good right on this on this austin step um austin who beat us at home uh mind you uh what was that about a month and a half ago now month plus uh houston has is locked into the playoffs and then la galaxy have um They're off this Wednesday because they've already played 32 games.

So they will be on full rest after tying with LAFC this weekend.

And my internet is getting slow.

Okay.
