    Welp, you freaks got what you wanted! Steve Cherundolo officially resigned as head coach effective the end of the season, becoming maybe the first lame duck coach in MLS history.

    Bouanga scored! Giroud touched the ball a bunch! We found out what Bruce Arena did!

  • 208. SAN JOSE MATCH PREVIEW: Steve Cherundo-Uh Oh!

    57:44||Ep. 208
    You put your #DoloIn, you put your #DoloOut, you put your #DoloIn, and you post it all about. Travis, Darren, and Vince breakdown the 24 hours of fan rage following the loss to Miami in the Champions Cup, chat about what's going wrong with LAFC, and ask again WHAT DID BRUCE ARENA DO IN NEW ENGLAND? Then, they're joined by Kirk Kinsey, host of LAFC Podcast The Counterpress to hear from someone who is less supportive of Steve Cherundolo than the shill hosts of the cringe podcast Happy Foot Sad Foot. Plus we talk all about what to expect from a very good San Jose team and even, and you won't believe this, make some bets for this weeks match. That's what it's all about!Want to skip the banter?

  • 207. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Miami (CONCACAF Champions Cup Quarterfinals, Leg 2)

    In the end, I guess Messi is a little better than Nathan Ordaz.
  • 206. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Houston

    01:15:35||Ep. 206
    Travis, Vince, Darren, The Chat, and a few brave callers all weigh in on LAFC's frustrating 1-0 loss to Houston, yes you read that right, LAFC's 1-0 loss, to Houston. With a rotated squad, we hoped we'd find a player who'd step up with an opportunity to show they deserve some more minutes or cement their role as a reliable depth piece, but no, in fact we showed almost nothing in that match, and Houston also showed almost nothing but a Jack McGlynn goal, making for an incredibly boring match. So we do our best to find SOMETHING entertaining for you to enjoy in the postgame show, including MANY completely unrelated topics we dive into after moving on from our (surprisingly legitimate, in retrospect) breakdown of the actual game. Come for the soccer analysis, Stay for Darren's Epic Viral Tips!!!00:00 Welcome to Happy Foot Sad Foot01:04 Post-Game Analysis: Initial Reactions02:20 Player Performance Breakdown03:31 Midfield Struggles and Defensive Issues04:52 Depth and Roster Concerns11:09 Super Chats and Fan Interactions41:25 Reflecting on Travel and Family42:08 Embarrassing Moments and Family Dynamics43:42 Youth Soccer and Proud Moments45:18 College Reunion Plans47:46 UConn Women's Basketball and Star Players50:03 Soccer Talk and Viewer Interactions51:47 Late-Night Banter and Cryptocurrency Jokes57:39 Wrapping Up and Final ThoughtsJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot
