LAFC pull out a 3-0 victory with a pair of Bouanga Blasts and a Bogusz Banger to boot, not to mention some fantastic end-of-match saves from Hugo Lloris to maintain the clean sheet. And with a win like that, you know Friends Of The Foot will show up and show out. This was quite the celebration with the chat bumpin all night, and visits from LAFC Luke, Heel Of The Foot Geoff Tock, Tom Bogert dropping in to say hello and defend Geoff Tock's anti-Michelob Ultra tirade (an incredibly toxic move from Bogert for the future of Happy Foot Sad Foot), and even 2 Nips Dan FROM LUMEN FIELD, and Travis waking up in Copenhagen and saying hello before he heads to the airport. We could not ask for more more. Keep the chaos coming. We love you, byeeeee!

LAFC looked exhausted in this one, and RSL came out with a lot of fight, and less bite than usual with no Chicho, and somehow we came out of it with a tie. We stole a tie? But also we could've stolen a win? But maybe we should have lost by a lot? Wtf was this match? We looked real good in our new kits, and looked real bad in every other way. Darren and Vince (Dince) are joined by a PLETHORA of callers - fans from the stadium, fans running into Vince in the plaza, fans at home, first time callers, long time callers, a real SOLID GROUP on the call-ins and in the chat tonight. When the vibes can't go right on the pitch, at least with all of you we can fix em after the fact. Seattle and turf and a possibly-injured Tillman and Olivera this weekend. Can't wait!

With Travis on a football Rumspringa, Vince and Darren quickly solve all Copa America problems and get into LAFC problems, which, after a 5-1 trampling from Columbus... might not be so bad? Everyone else at the top of the table lost or tied and we are somehow left with the same Tightest of Tight Tables as before. How does the Supporter Shield race look? What will we learn from tough matches vs. Real Salt Lake and Seattle this week? WTF DID CHICHO SAY TO GET HIMSELF SUSPENDED FOR FOUR GAMES??? And less importantly, we dig into the mailbag and answer some listener questions about LAFC, MLS, US Soccer, and even... MORE??

With Travis fleeing just in time to miss this absolute shit show vs. Columbus, Darren and Vince break down what happened in this catastrophic loss vs. Columbus, instead of the revenge we were after. And by that I mean Vince breaks it down. Darren doesn't break things down. If anything he makes things more complex and convoluted, as a general rule. Anyway, LAFC blew it tonight, but the silver lining is that Friends Of The Foot showed up where LAFC did not. A listener meetup at halftime with loads of FotF, and this postgame show with a ton of callers, including some first timers, a lively chat, and the vibes we needed to keep on keeping on. PLUS: IS COLUMBUS A WALKABLE CITY?? All this and more, TONIGHT.

Well, we certainly grew the game (girth-wise). It's HaFoSaFo After Dark and Vince, Darren, and Travis break down the incredible (?) victory against USL's top side New Mexico United. We talk about Martinez' up and down game, the truly great fans from New Mexico, and spend way too long begging US Soccer to not hire Steve Cherundolo. Also the game took place at 11pm at night so the podcast was absolutely unhinged. We have ALWAYS LOVED the US Open Cup!!! Travis is off to Berlin to tell those euro-snobs what a REAL Cup match looks like.

Two games, one week, zero intelligent thoughts from our podcast. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down Diego Rossi's homecoming back to BMO which also just happens to be a re-match of the MLS Cup Final we all remember so fondly. Then they chat with Chris Walker, head of Black Diamonds, a BIPOC Supporter Group from New Mexico United, and he does honestly a really good job convincing them to become New Mexico fans. It's like, a surprisingly great pitch. They might convert. Plus, we finally talk about a certain game that happened last week against a certain team that we all agree isn't very good at soccer. WE WON'T TELL YOU WHO WE MEAN!

Do you hear that? In the distance? It's the sound of Galaxy's tifo slowly disintegrating at the Rose Bowl last year. Wait, what's that sound? It's the crack of a cooler smashing into a thousand pieces on Christmas Tree Lane. Oh no! What's that smell? Is that an LAFC fan defecating in the stands of BMO Stadium? That's right. We've made it. It's here. El Tráfico. The greatest rivalry in American club soccer and the biggest regular season match up of the year. And don't worry. We celebrate by bringing back the dumbest game we've ever played: Is It Bigger Than Riqui Puig?

In honor of Mati Bogusz, here are the lyrics to the Polish national anthem:

Poland has not yet perished,

So long as we still live.

What the foreign force has taken from us,

We shall with sabre retrieve.

March, march, Dąbrowski,

From Italy to Poland.

Under your command

We shall rejoin the nation.

We’ll cross the Vistula, we’ll cross the Warta,

We shall be Polish.

Bonaparte has given us the example

Of how we should prevail.

March, march, Dąbrowski,

From Italy to Poland.

Under your command

We shall rejoin the nation.

Like Czarniecki to Poznań

After the Swedish annexation,

To save our homeland,

We shall return across the sea.

March, march, Dąbrowski,

From Italy to Poland.

Under your command

We shall rejoin the nation.

A father, in tears,

Says to his Basia

Listen, our boys are said

To be beating the tarabans.

March, march, Dąbrowski,

From Italy to Poland.

Under your command

We shall rejoin the nation.

Wow, that's a long national anthem.
