It's LAFC with their third consecutive poor effort, this one a listless 1-1 regulation draw that turned into an 11-10 PK-shootout loss to lowly Mazatlan.

Send us a textLAFC and Carson played for the 26th time on Saturday, and this one, for Black and Gold Faithful, may have been the most frustrating yet. Despite twice holding a 2-goal lead, LAFC had to settle for a point in a 3-3 draw as Galaxy scored at the death.Denis Bouanga did all he could while he was on the pitch, scoring twice to move within 6 of Carlos Vela all-time. Gabriel Pec added a brace of his own, and a last-second header by Maya Yoshida forced both sides home with a point. A red card for Eddie Segura in stoppage certainly complicates matters for the home side in their next match against Portland. Also on this episode, Bone Thugs and Harmony make an appearance at BMO!

Après Paul Pogba à Monaco, Olivier Giroud va bien rejoindre lui aussi rejoindre la Ligue 1. L'attaquant de 38 ans a confirmé être tout proche de s'engager avec Lille, club qui "coche beaucoup de cases pour moi et ma famille". "J'espère que je pourrai être utile à l'équipe, un leader et quelqu'un qui met du liant sur le terrain et en-dehors avec les jeunes, a détaillé le champion du monde 2018. Je suis excité à l'idée de jouer la Ligue Europa. Lille est un grand club en France, un des cinq meilleurs".

Les États-Unis accueillent en ce moment le Mondial des clubs avant la Coupe du monde dans un an. Ici, le « soccer » est en plein développement, encore plus depuis que Lionel Messi a rejoint il y a deux ans Miami et la MLS, le championnat local. Mais la culture football s'installe-t-elle vraiment dans les habitudes des Américains ? « Tu joues le week-end dans un stade où tout le monde t'acclame, et le lendemain, tu redeviens une personne normale, incognito. » En cinq secondes, l'attaquant gabonais Denis Bouanga a tout résumé. On peut être une star de la MLS – le championnat local de football aux États-Unis –, le meilleur buteur de Los Angeles et passer complètement inaperçu dans un pays où l'offre sportive est aussi vaste que le territoire. Un pays où le soccer est encore loin d'être roi. « Le championnat n'a qu'une trentaine d'années d'existence. Le football américain est encore numéro un, suivi du basket et après, il y a la ligue de baseball, celle de hockey. Les sports universitaires sont très importants chez nous. La MLS d'aujourd'hui, avec Messi, est dans ces eaux-là. Mais la NFL et la NBA sont encore devant », détaille Michelle Kauffmann journaliste spécialisée au Miami Herald. « Cela progresse. Le problème, c'est que les gens comme moi s'intéressent plus aux championnats européens », estime Teddy, maillot de Chelsea sur le dos. Ce supporter est à Atlanta pour assister au match entre Chelsea et le Los Angeles FC. « Je regarde jouer Chelsea depuis que je suis petit. Ici, on a une nouvelle équipe, Atlanta United. Mais bon, c'est dur de passer de l'un à l'autre. La qualité de jeu n'a rien à voir », regrette-t-il. Et pourtant, dans les stades de MLS, l'affluence moyenne est en pleine croissance. Plus de 23 000 spectateurs par match en moyenne la saison passée et les groupes de supporters se structurent. Depuis quatre ans, Jo voyage avec l'un d'eux pour suivre les matchs du Los Angeles FC. « Avant, avec mes amis, on suivait le football américain, le baseball, le basket. Classique, quoi. Et puis on est allés voir un match de soccer et on a tout de suite accroché. L'énergie est incroyable. Maintenant, on voyage partout pour suivre l'équipe. Quand vous voyez la passion des supporters de soccer, c'est dur de ne pas être tenté. C'est vraiment génial », s'enthousiasme-t-il. Alors combien sont-ils, comme lui, les convertis devenus fanatiques ? Difficile à dire, mais la passion est contagieuse, transmissible, dans une Amérique qui se rêve demain en nouveau monde du ballon rond. « Vous connaissez Hugo Lloris ? Mon fils est un grand fan. Il est gardien de but comme lui et il a son maillot signé… Il va lui succéder, j'espère. C'est le plan », plaisante même Jo.

LAFC takes on English Premier League giant Chelsea in a match that actually matters, our first match of Group D play at the 2025 Club World Cup!

In diretta seguiamo la gara del gruppo D tra Chelsea e Los Angeles FC

Amidst the backdrop of protests and ICE raids across Los Angeles, LAFC defeated Sporting Kansas City, 3-1, behind a goal and 2 assists from Denis Bouanga. But it was the 90' of silence, and then the deafening roar, from The 3252 that made the most impact.

It's Episode 363, and LAFC has just won the most important match in club history! LAFC slays LIGA MX giant Club America, 2-1, after 120'!The atmosphere was unlike any other in the history of BMO Stadium, as Club America brought incredible support and a high-powered roster into Los Angeles for the winner-take-all showdown. After a tense, scoreless first half, Las Aquilas would get on the board first, with a little help from VAR. A soft penalty was awarded, which, of all people, Brian Rodriguez buries to put the visitors on top. Just before the 90', a perfect corner from Denis Bouanga finds the well-placed head of Igor Jesus, and we are level! What a time for Igor to score his first goal, and we are headed to Extra Time. In the second 15' half, Denis Bouanga pays off wonderful buildup from Olivier Giroud and Frankie Amaya, as his shot deflects off a defender's leg and in for the winner! LAFC is headed to the Club World Cup!Also on this episode, we take a peek at our opponents, Chelsea, Flamengo, and ES Tunis. Scarf loses his voice, Filly gets it right, Maxime Chanot is amazing without playing a minute, and apologies all around to Olivier Giroud!

It's Episode 362, the second game recap episode in a row where we discuss a disappointing 2-2 draw to a Wooden Spoon contender. Our location shifts to Quebec, where LAFC was only able to take a point from lowly CF Montreal. Montreal, the club that had scored just 8 goals all season, raced out to a 2-0 lead after 22', thanks to Prince Owusu's penalty and a couple of lucky bounces. LAFC would respond right before the half through Mark Delgado as the half would end 2-1.The subs made all the difference for LAFC. Ryan Hollingshead improved the offense, Cengiz Ünder brought a calm on the ball, and Olivier Giroud delivered the tying goal, making the run and putting away a deflection. Not the story we wanted in Montreal, but LAFC's takes a point. Next up is Club America, and a spot in the Club World Cup. But until then, enjoy 362!   

LAFC heads into Quebec to take on CF Montreal, the worst team in the East. Will it be three easy points for the Black and Gold, or will a wooden spoon contender give them trouble two weeks in a row?

It was supposed to be a bit easier than it was, but LAFC battled back from 2-1 down late to steal a point at home against St. Louis. It's Episode 357, and if not for Saint Denis, LAFC would be in a world of trouble. Twice down in the match, LAFC needed a dime from Ünder to get Denis his first, and then a bomb from Lloris to put Denis in position for his brace. The rest of the attack? If not for solid set pieces and corners by Denis, there wouldn't be much to talk about. The load is heavy, but, for now, Denis remains up to the task. Also on this episode, it's a late and brief return for Filly! Yay! Frankie Amaya makes his debut, LAFC celebrates the kids, and Ante Razov keeps in real in the presser. Enjoy 357!

St. Louis City SC heads to BMO looking to not only get their first win against the Black and Gold, but to score their first goal in what will be 5 tries!

LAFC heads up to the PNW to take on Phil Neville's Timbers. 

LAFC and Portland play to a 3-3 draw in a match that was just as frenetic and unpredictable as the entire week was for LAFC. Amid the backdrop of 'Dolo's announcement, LAFC responds on the road for a point.LAFC saw themselves down, 2-0, after just over 40'. Backs to the wall, LAFC stepped up for the first time in 2025, rallying to level the match twice to earn the point. Denis Bouanga was a man on fire, scoring the eventual leveler off a PK, having two called back for offside, and a couple of other great opportunities stifled by James Pantemis. Also on this episode, Olivier Giroud produces a BANGER of a goal to open his MLS account, Lafferty tags in and then back out, and Scarf is still not "slim fit." Enjoy 365, and Happy Easter and Passover everyone!

Here on Episode 355, two streaks come to an end as, hopefully, one starts. It's a solo Scarf endeavor here on Defenders of the Banc, as he breaks down LAFC's 2-1 victory over the Earthquakes. A scoreless but entertaining first half gave way to fireworks in the second, with LAFC getting on the board just past the hour mark. The rebound from Denis Bouanga's shot found the foot of Sergi Palencia, who teed one up perfectly from the top of the box to score his first goal in 2,888 days! That's even before Defenders of the Banc started! Yikes!About 20 minutes later, Denis Bouanga would end a streak of his own, getting his first MLS regular season goal since last October, giving LAFC a 2-0 lead, and it's a good thing he did! Cristian Espinoza went ahead and did Cristian Espinoza things for SJ, scoring in stoppage to give SJ life, but LAFC saw out the final minutes without issue for the 2-1 win.Also on this episode, we compliment Olivier Giroud's effort, several times, while hoping that all goes well with Maxime Chanot. It's a relatively quick one, and definitely a fun one here on Episode 355. Enjoy!
