AUSTIN MATCH PREVIEW: Home Is Where The Smart-Choice Is

Ep. 198

Have you ever broken up with someone even though they were so good for you but the relationship had just run it's course? And then three months later, you run into them at a party, and they're doing really well and they seem happy, and you can't help but wonder... have I made a mistake? You know how hard that is? Well, Ilie Sánchez returns to Los Angeles this week, so get ready to feel it again, baby! Plus, Travis, Darren, and Vince break down storylines, chat about our new star Ünder, and have an incredibly enjoyable conversation with Steph and Mike from the VERY FUN Austin FC podcast Swoontower, to find out all about just who we're facing this week. And we ask, what if the smart choice all along was walking away?

  • 246. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Chicago (Son Heong-min's LAFC Debut)

    01:00:24||Ep. 246
    YES, WE ARE BACK. Not because of a 2-2 draw with Chicago, but because the prodigal Son Heung-min has come home (which also, is not Chicago). Darren and Vince analyze the highs and lows of the match, and look ahead to what looks like a very Sonny future. Can we make a beeline to The Cup? Should Son be our Captain post haste? Will we get a 3rd DP? Good art asks more questions than it answers.
  • 245. CHICAGO MATCH PREVIEW: Here Comes The Son

    01:09:01||Ep. 245
    Son Heung-min is Black and Gold! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down the BLOCKBUSTER signing of the greatest Asian footballer of all time, and debate whether or not he’s the biggest signing in club history. Then, we discuss what, if anything we can take away from League Cup. And we finally do a mid-season check in on our season predictions (spoiler alert: Giroud is not the Golden Boot). What a week to be an LAFC fan. ARE WE BACK?
  • 244. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Tigres (Leagues Cup Phase 1 Match 3)

    55:47||Ep. 244
    Heung-Min Son has arrived and so has David Martinez, as LAFC FINALLY takes down Mexican giants Tigres (with the second string). We go full sports radio in a shouting match with Geoff Tock, we stumble through pronouncing Choinére, and we even decide is Son makes LAFC officially the hottest team in MLS once again. ARE WE BACK?
  • 243. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Pachuca (Leagues Cup Phase 1 Match 2)

    42:17||Ep. 243
    Travis, Darren and Vince react to one of the weirdest LAFC matches ever, their second Leagues Cup Match, and a win(ish) on PKs thanks to Hasal coming up huge in net, after two red cards were handed out over thee course of the match by one of the worst referees to ever step on the pitch at BMO.
  • 242. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Mazatlán (Leagues Cup Phase 1 Match 1)

    41:48||Ep. 242
    If you wanna hear people talk about that game for 45 minutes, and I don’t know why you would, then this podcast is for you.
  • 241. LEAGUES CUP PHASE ONE PREVIEW: Phasers Set To One

    01:16:54||Ep. 241
    It’s Leagues Cup time and we’ve got a surprisingly thick ‘sode! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down everything you need to know about our upcoming matches against Liga MX giants Tigres, Pachuca, and the other one! We break down the confusing new format, make our bracket predictions, and spend a surprisingly large amount of time talking about how good RomComs are! Also did you guys notice the tournament has no Phase Two? Just a Phase One! Well thought out as always, MLS!Join the 2025 Happy Foot Sad Foot Leagues Cup Bracket Challenge: https://bracketchallenge.leaguescup.com/my-leagues/?join=z6Zkya
  • 240. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Portland

    47:31||Ep. 240
    Travis, Darren, Vince, and Darren's friend who we thought could be a new fan of LAFC and MLS but instead wasted his time completely, react to a thoroughly underwhelming LAFC performance, minus an ABSOLUTELY THRILLING bicycle kick MISS from 34th string center back Kevin (or Kenneth) Nielsen. Portland clears one of the lowest bars we've set all season. Thicc 'sode, Thin Team.
  • 239. PORTLAND MATCH PREVIEW: Eddie Krueger Sees Red

    55:09||Ep. 239
    Soup weather calls for soup! Travis, Darren, and Vince are here to talk about Eddie Segura’s red card in stoppage time that leaves us with no center backs, Portland’s struggles to score, and of course, we finally decide once and for all if we are good or bad. Then, a silver lake witch joins the pod to lead us in a guided mediation and calm our spirits and of course we make some bets that will definitely hit. We love you, bye!!!
  • 238. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Galaxy

    52:12||Ep. 238
