Daniel and Kirk discuss LAFC's termination of Marc Dos Santos as well as what else has to happen before fans should trust again.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. Vancouver Whitecaps dropped two more points at home on Saturday in a 3-3 draw with D.C. United that was both entertaining and frustrating. Some great attacking play, some poor defensive play, and a team with 10 players out through international duty and injuries. We unpack the highs and lows coming out of the match, look at how the Whitecaps form across MLS is actually better than it might feel these past 10 games, and look at the main talking points from the weekend's action across the league, including the sacking of former Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos at LAFC. We also round-up the action in the CPL, Forge FC Bobby Smyrniotis talks about adding experienced big-name players and how they've made it work within the salary cap, and delve into a very long international break that kicked off with Canada beating Chile in a feisty affair in Toronto. Music-wise, Scottish band Lung Leg wrap up their residency as our Artists of the Month, King of the Slums feature as our C86 era song, and Swedish band Dolkows feature in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.22: Intro - not away with the ferries and Drew Peacock 11.35: Two more home points dropped in draw with D.C. 58.06: Whitecaps' home pitch worries continue but form guide not as bad as it feels 66.30: MLS round-up, the lie of the land, and the sacking of MDS 84.10: CPL round-up after a wild weekend, plus Bobby Smyrniotis talks big additions 124.35: Is this international break too long? 129.30: Did Canada get much out of win over 9-man Chile? 152.30: Wavelength - Dolkows - Football

In an unprecedented in-season move, Marc Dos Santos has been FIRED by LAFC. 1 win in their last 10 matches was apparently the breaking point for the front office, and LAFC will head into the final 6 matches of the season with an interim gaffer.

Travis jumps on an emergency Happy Foot Sad Foot livestream after LAFC announces it has parted ways with head coach Marc Dos Santos, reading the club's statement and reacting to the surprising mid-season move following a frustrating loss and a poor run of form. We discuss why the club may have acted now during the international break, what it signals about urgency and accountability, and the hope a coaching change could spark a talented roster before the playoff push. Travis shares an unconfirmed rumor that assistant Andy Rose will serve as interim coach, and the chat throws out potential long-term candidates. Geoff Tock calls in to debate the timing and the value of chasing “variance;” Soccerwise's David Gass joins to explain league-wide context, John Thorrington's role, and possible coaching directions for LAFC moving forward; and The Counter Press' Kirk Kinsey joins to dig into the tactics.00:00 Breaking News Reaction01:12 Why LAFC Pulled Trigger02:40 Interim Coach Rumors04:24 Chat Reactions Coach Wishlist08:40 Geoff Tock Joins In09:48 Front Office Pressure Debate16:38 Variance Over Status Quo18:51 Fanbase Reset Superchats22:39 David Goss League Context29:22 Who Should Coach Next31:43 Cherundolo Gesture Debate32:43 Coaching Candidates Talk33:43 Soccer Wise Plug35:30 MLS Minute Recap38:25 Super Chats And Jokes39:47 Kirk Kinsey Joins45:38 Tactical Fixes Needed50:55 Fan Relief And Leaks56:37 Coach Wishlist And Wrap01:04:07 Survivor Tangent FinaleJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

LAFC falls to FC Dallas, 1-0. Son, Denis, and 4 other players missed the match due to international duty, Timothy Tillman was still out with an injury, and Aaron Long served his suspension. Hugo Lloris did everything he could to keep us in it, and Sergio Vasquez looked good in his debut, coming on for the final 45 minutes. LAFC gets a much-needed break until October 10.

Travis, Darren, and Vince react to LAFC's match at FC Dallas, which ends as a 1–0 loss after a would-be equalizer is called back following a controversial VAR-related decision. We talk about how the international break and missing key players tanked the quality, why moral victories don't matter with two wins in 16, and what the remaining schedule (including Vancouver and Austin at home) means for any turnaround and playoff positioning. We highlight positives like Sergio Vasquez's impact and other young contributors, worry briefly about Vasquez's hamstring, and discuss roster depth, injuries, and the league's scheduling choices. We also debate what Marc Dos Santos needs to do to keep his job with the upcoming “sprint season,” share news that Thayllon is arriving Monday, and wrap with lighter asides, super chats, and and way too much discussion on how hot the team is.00:00 Two Wins in 1600:47 Dallas Loss Recap02:44 VAR Goal Controversy05:15 West Table Reality07:54 Happy Foot Standouts09:50 Broadcast Rant12:20 Vasquez Deep Dive16:20 Run-In Schedule Ahead19:31 MDS Job Security Debate27:03 AI Viewers Tangent28:24 Igor Jesus Absence30:35 Live Show Idea31:36 Live Show Planning32:09 Hat Lore and Jewels32:57 Paper Gun and Tissues34:10 Season Collapse Review35:33 Injuries and New Hope37:03 MDS Accountability Debate41:33 Super Chats and Ebobisse Rant44:34 Ayaneiro and Big Forward Talk45:20 Vince Returns and Vibes47:58 Trusting MDS System49:53 Hottest Player Debate55:05 Wrap Up and Next MatchesJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

FC Dallas picks up another home win 1-nil against LAFC as they go up to 2nd place in the Western Conference.

FC Dallas has one more match before they observe the September/October international break, hosting fellow Western playoff hopeful Los Angeles Football Club at Toyota Stadium Saturday. Sam, Ryan, and Steve break down who is away and who will step in for both sides Saturday, what a victory looks like for the Burn, and the low key stellar matchup that exists when these two teams clash in Frisco. 

Dave Denholm and Mario Ruiz break down LAFC's wild 2-2 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes, including the red card to Aaron Long and the incredible fight LAFC showed while playing a man down. The guys talk about how close LAFC came to stealing all three points at Levi's Stadium. Now it's on to Dallas as LAFC faces its third straight road game and third consecutive Western Conference matchup before the international break. Dave and Mario preview the matchup, discuss the challenge of missing key players on international duty, and look at what LAFC needs to do to head into the break on a high note.

This week on Black & Gold Insider, Max Bretos is joined by defender Sergi Palencia, who talks about his steps returning from injury, becoming a tenured LAFC player, and a full-time Angeleno. Also discussed are the reasons for Spanish success at the World Cup and the secret to a 2-0 start in fantasy football.

Sporting KC had another schizophrenic performance Saturday night at Sporting Park as while Andre Luiz continued showing why the club invested so much in bringing him to the team, and the Wyatt Meyer Effect continued to show it's potential in helping the team achieve results, a far too common refrain of falling apart when things started going bad also came to bear and really had fans searching for answers after shipping 4 goals in 10 minutes and losing a game they never should have.While Philly did put SKC under pressure, their performance after the hour mark was simply not good enough, and was not near the level of execution we saw from this team just a week prior vs LAFC.  We mentioned that it would be irrational to expect everyone to perform at the level they did in that game, but that doesn't mean a capitulation of this magnitude is either expected or acceptable.  The mental softness of this team continues to be a consistent issue, and something that the coach seems unable to remedy.In Potpourri, we will catch up on the other things around MLS this weekend that caught our eye, the Current sleepwalking through a loss in San Diego, and David Lee's favorite topic, GAM.Music by The Spin Wires

An Aaron Long red card in the first half eventually dooms LAFC. Despite going up 2-0, the second of which moved Denis Bouanga ahead of Carlos Vela for most MLS regular-season goals with 79, the Black and Gold concede an equalizer at the death to settle for a point in Santa Clara. Son Heung-Min has a goal and an assist. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Travis and Darren react to a devastating late draw for LAFC in San Jose after going down a man early on a soft foul that still had to be a red once called. We break down why, despite the heartbreak, this felt like a proud, gutsy defensive performance, highlighted by huge nights from Son and Denis Bouanga (who breaks the club record for regular-season goals) and a remarkable game from Hugo Lloris. We also debate key refereeing moments involving Drew Fisher, VAR, and disallowed goals, shout out standout defending from Porteous, Tafari, and the back line, and air a few Sad Feet including Sieb struggling and late sub frustrations.

San Jose sit fourth and we sit sixth with just one point between us, so Travis and Darren preview LAFC's Saturday afternoon match at Levi's Stadium and why it feels like a massive six-pointer in a brutally tight Western Conference table. With Vince “missing,” we run through LAFC's ugly form (seven points in eight matches, no wins since July 25), the bright spot of a record number of clean sheets led by Hugo Lloris, and how close we still are to second place despite everything. We debate whether firing Marc Dos Santos with eight games left is worth the shock to the system, dig into tactical and statistical reasons for the attacking struggles, and then reset with an annual LAFC Fan Meditation.00:00 Tight Table Tease00:23 Podcast Welcome Setup01:34 Listener Banter Sick Travis02:32 Tires Network Announcement04:39 Emmys TV Tangent06:17 Sponsor Break Amirian Law07:47 Storylines Segment Begins08:51 Are We In Hell Stats13:37 Fire MDS Debate21:15 Darren Deep Dive Tactics25:39 Sonny Positioning Problems28:08 What Needs To Change28:56 Player Coach Fantasy29:56 Dos Santos Hot Seat32:27 Early Coaching Search33:46 Revenge vs San Jose36:17 MLS Minute Rundown39:07 LAFC Fan Meditation51:01 Bet It Segment55:09 Final Plugs GoodbyeJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

LAFC+ Podcast #112 is here as Dave Denholm and Mario Ruiz react to LAFC's road loss in Kansas City and what it means with the regular season winding down. Just eight matches remain, and LAFC heads to Levi's Stadium for a massive Western Conference matchup against the San Jose Earthquakes. Dave and Mario look at the challenging stretch ahead, with four road matches and four home games left on the schedule and every point becoming more important. Plus, they take a look around MLS at the latest playoff picture.

The Wyatt Meyer Effect was in full display in Sporting Park on Saturday night as the good guys in blue fairly comprehensively beat LAFC 3-1 in a scoreline that honestly felt deserved as the final whistle blew.  Just 7 days after I said that I thought the match in Dallas was the best team performance they'd put in all year, Sporting KC one upped themselves and took it to another level.  There were several performances on the field that stood out, and were likely the best performances we had seen from such players in a Sporting KC shirt.  This does lead to questions about whether this is a repeatable performance, or simply a group of guys all playing at their peak level at once.  Only time will tell, but the game itself was a welcome dose of positive vibes in a season that has been more than a bit bleak for SKC fans.The team was organized as well, and looked mostly well coached throughout the game.  Is this the Wicky philosophy finally coming into view?  Are the players available finally the right ones to execute it?  These are yet further questions that need more data to suss out, but as with the result, it was really nice to enjoy a competent performance both on and off the field.In Potpourri, we will talk about the youth movement catching everyone's eye in MLS, including apparently Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching staff as the USMNT roster begins to leak out for this extended international window, and we will also discuss the exploits of the KC current as they save a draw against the leagues newest High Impact Player contract earner Barbra Banda and the Orlando Pride, before getting into the opportunity to see some of these intriguing youth players in Kansas City this weekend as the Philadelphia Union come to town.Music by The Spin Wires

The move pulls them within three points of CF Montreal as they attempt to avoid 'winning' the Wooden Spoon. The KC Soccer Journal asked Wicky and Taylor Calheira about their attempts to avoid the spoon and we'll get into those responses during the episode.Plus, we talked through all the action from the game. The arrival of Andre Luiz as a potential star shone brightly in his improved play and particularly in his opening goal last night.It was an absolute banger, but it wasn't all Andre did. He drew fouls. He combined with teammates. He generally looked like the guy we hoped he'd be. And according to Wicky he's still not fully fit. There should be more to come!Beyond Andre, Stefan Cleveland, Taylor Calheira, Stephen Afrifa, Moises Mosquera, Emir Karic and Wyatt Meyer all got some love. And let's not leave out the clinical finish by substitute Jacob Bartlett. Besides the goal, he honored Or Blorian who will be out for the rest of the season after a surprise surgery this week. The whole team in fact honored him before the game.And Sheena brought back the casual hair takes for the first time in a hot minute.On the other side of town, the KC Current fought back valiantly against the Orlando Pride after falling behind 2-0. They maintain their two-plus year regular season unbeaten run at CPKC Stadium. However, they still have to find a way to climb the table with results worth more than a point.The Current also had honors bestowed upon Temwa Chawing and Lorena and former Current player, Meila Brewer, landed in Dallas.In the Digital Crawl, we hit one more topic:NWSL Relocation: Louisville to Cincy?Here is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Sporting KC - 11:04KC Current - 1:00:11Digital Crawl - 1:11:51Upcoming GamesKC Current @ San Diego Wave, FRI, Sept 18th at 9:00PM CSTSporting KC vs. Philadelphia Union, SAT, Sept 19th at 7:30PMSKC II @ Dynamo 2, SUN, Sept 20th at 4:00PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Darren and Vince break down LAFC's frustrating 3–1 loss to last-place Sporting Kansas City, debating whether this is “rock bottom” and how much blame falls on tactics, roster decisions, and player readiness. We discuss the first-half lineup choices, halftime adjustments that improved tempo and chance creation, and key moments including Bouanga's goal, defensive mistakes on SKC's goals, and missed opportunities that could have changed the match.

The New York Red Bulls traveled across the country to take on the Black and Gold in what we thought would be a matchup of the youngsters vs. the older guys. Well, 17-year-old Jude Terry didn't get the memo, as the youngest current member of LAFC spoiled the Red Bulls' trip with a first-half goal. Newest member of the squad Armindo Sieb salted away the match late, and Hugo Lloris didn't have much to do for his 12th clean sheet of the season. LAFC wins, 2-0!

At nearly 1:00 AM on the East Coast, Travis joins Vince and Darren break down LAFC's 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls, a crucial result albeit a frustraing performance due to poor finishing that could have made it 4-0 or 5-0 by halftime. Jude Terry's composed strike and Sieb's banger are bright spots amid missed chances from Bouanga and Son, whose first touch and fatigue are major concerns. We discuss how LAFC tactically exploited Red Bulls' high line, the TIGHT TABLE in the Western Conference with nine games left, and the return of Igor Jesus after an ACL injury. We also look ahead to Kansas City and debate coaching, roster shuffling, and who's stepping up beyond the usual scorers.00:00 Late Night Kickoff00:34 Match Takeaways02:32 Bet It Chaos03:24 Tactics vs Red Bulls04:30 Finishing Frustrations06:27 Tight Table Bit10:42 Pump The Brakes13:41 Chance Creation Boss22:29 Igor Returns25:57 Jeff On Martinez30:16 Is Son Washed31:39 Coach Blame Debate33:54 Low Block Problem34:34 Do Coaches Matter37:07 Fire Him Or Not42:27 Dentist Debate Detour43:58 Son Double Standard44:58 Caller Happy Feet47:26 DP Rules And Selling Son50:50 Super Chats And Sponsors53:40 Red Bull Naming Weirdness56:56 Caller Carl Match Recap01:02:58 Set Pieces And Merch01:04:52 Wrap Up And Next MatchJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.

LAFC comes from ahead to take just one point back from their summer trip to Sandy, Utah. RSL and LAFC battle to a 2-2 draw, with both Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga getting in on the scoring.

Darren hosts solo with Vince and Travis out, reacting to LAFC's 2-2 draw at Real Salt Lake that felt like another loss after LAFC led twice and couldn't hold it. There WERE positives, like strong Hugo Lloris saves, a new look with Shaffelburg behind Bouanga, and Bouanga and Son each posting a goal and an assist on two textbook transition goals, but defensive breakdowns, poor clearances, fatigue, and reliance on isolated individual moments rather than cohesive, creative team play all came back to bite them in the ass (again). New blood is here though, we'll see who can do what and what the homestretch brings.00:00 Postgame Reality Check02:17 Bright Spots and Lineup Notes05:47 Happy Foot Goals Breakdown07:38 Defensive Lapses and Fatigue11:35 Air Horn Rant and Poll12:26 Reading Chats and Superchats18:12 Season Outlook and New Signings20:58 Caller Diego Joins In22:34 Defense Holds Up23:10 Newton Tactics Bit23:40 Red Bulls Outlook24:07 New Signings Waiting24:59 Creativity Missing26:09 Tafari And Turnovers26:51 Tyler Boyd Miss29:06 Flashes Of Potential30:31 Coach Or Players31:48 Finding A Solution33:59 Late Season Run40:22 Closing ThoughtsJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.
