Send us a textIt's Episode 374, and the 2025 Leagues Cup has started! Woo! 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. The Black and Gold B-squad struck first, but Mazatlan's B-squad struck soon after. From there, the offense died, and the match went to kicks. It's OK, though, as all LAFC has to do next is beat the best team in CONCACAF, Pachuca, on Friday. Enjoy!

Send us a textIt's Episode 373, and LAFC provides very few signs of life in our last MLS Regular Season match before Leagues Cup. LAFC falls at home, 1-0, to the Timbers.The lone bright spot of this match? The performance in the MLS debut of defender Kenny Nielsen! Nielsen was solid, and his near-goal on an audacious bicycle kick attempt in the second half was the highlight of the match.

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! Enjoy Episode 372. 

Send us a textLAFC travels to the Great White North and WINS for the first time, 1-0 over Minnesota United. Denis Bouanga's PK overshadows a couple of easy misses, and the defense looks great in LAFC's first match without Aaron Long.

Episode 370 has many highlights, including a dominating win by LAFC over Dallas, another great performance by Denis, and a goal-of-the-year moment in the LAFC Unified match. But there is a pall over the match, and the episode, as LAFC appears to have lost our captain, Aaron Long, with a significant leg injury. Also on this episode, the man's name is Turbo, so please, put some respect on it! What a goal! Nate scores again, Dilrosun continues to get better, and Denis actually comes off the pitch! Enjoy Episode 370!

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. We hope you all had a good 4th of July. On this Sunday episode of Holding The High Line, we analyze that 4thFest loss to Sporting Kansas City and preview a difficult double game week. First the guys banter about the Gold Cup Final. Was it mission accomplished for the USMNT even with the performance and loss to Mexico? Has this altered expectations for us going into the World Cup next summer? What does this mean for the national team hopefuls on the Rapids? How should Rapids fans feel about RSL star Diego Luna playing well during the tournament? We discuss. Then we recap the loss to SKC? It was a good performance overall but in the context of having three really bad mistakes and not executing in small moments. Be prepared to learn what we thought on Conor Ronan's performance. What was up with Djordje Mihailović and Cole Bassett? Also what was up with 17,576 being a sellout at DSGP, the P-I-D-S chant, and the DIA substitution jingle? We also look big picture at whether this team can or will make the playoffs? Chris Armas continues to take the long view even though he's technically out of contract after this year. The Rapids actually have an easy schedule the rest of the way, even though July is tough. Red talks about what it means. Then we look ahead to LAFC and Vancouver. Colorado has a bad record at BMO Stadium, 0-8 all time, outscored 23-2. Rabbi thinks this might be the chance to catch LAFC while they're down. Club World Cup fatigue, Olivier Giroud exit and all. Oh, and we'll see what happens as this is the first game since the inappropriate language incident between Sergi Palencia and Chido Awaziem. Great. Similarly, Whitecaps are a good team but might be leggy due to players being at the Concacaf Gold Cup. They've also had two really bad losses, including a 3-0 loss to LA Galaxy. Yikes. Can the Rapids get a result against two teams who will have more rest than them? We make predictions. Also Mark would like to formally apologize to Wheat Ridge and Glendale.

LAFC heads to Austin in an attempt to avenge their loss earlier this season at the hands of the Verde. Also, hello, Ilie!

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". Après avoir effectué ses adieux en sélection à l'issue de l'Euro en Allemagne l'an dernier, le meilleur buteur de l'histoire de l'équipe de France (57 buts en 137 sélections) avait quitté l'AC Milan pour ce qui s'apparentait alors à une dernière pige au Los Angeles FC. Son expérience sportive avec le club californien n'a pas été au niveau de ses attentes, avec seulement trois buts en saison régulière de MLS.Distribué par Audiomeans.

LAFC took on English powerhouse Chelsea in the 2025 Club World Cup. That's the headline. A match so important that Filly & Scarf brought on two special guests, Laff and lifelong Chelsea AND all-time Black and Gold supporter Slippy on the pod to talk about it. LAFC would fall, 2-0, but the effort, the heart, and the support were absolutely there for all 90'. Not the result we wanted, but the boys did us proud. It's Episode 365, which means you can listen to a new episode every day for a year!

On this episode of LAFC+, Dave Denholm and Mario Ruiz preview LAFC's debut on the global stage at the FIFA Club World Cup. The Black & Gold face Premier League giants Chelsea on Monday in a massive opening test.

This week on the Fozcast, Ben and Tom are joined a returning legend on the pod and now father, Tubes to dive deep into one of the most hotly debated topics in football – who are the most underrated players in Premier League history? From forgotten legends to those who never quite got the respect they deserved, we go through a top 5 list packed with quality names… we're talking Olivier Giroud, Leighton Baines, Dimitri Payet and Lucas Leiva, just to name a few… Tubes even shares a brilliant personal story about Mikel Arteta, and we hear why David James might be the most athletic goalkeeper the Premier League has ever seen... There are hot takes, nostalgic shouts, and a few controversial picks too…

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.

Defenders of the Banc stands with ALL Angelinos during these difficult and unprecedented times. 

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! 

Montreal dejó escapar la victoria cuando LAFC logró empatar 2-2, y el Steve Cherundolo destacó que tanto este partido como el reciente clásico angelino han servido como preparación para el crucial enfrentamiento contra el Club América el sábado 31 de mayo de 2025.

El analista de fútbol Mario Amaya, de KWKW 1330, 980 AM LA MERA MERA y Supergol, nos acompaña para compartir su análisis y comentarios sobre el rendimiento de LAFC y lo que se puede esperar frente al América.

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?

Filly and Scarf are back together for the full episode, Episode 361, dedicated to the disappointment that was the 25th edition of the Los Angeles Derby.
