NEW MEXICO / COLUMBUS MATCH PREVIEW: Diego Rossi, oooh Diego Rossi!

Ep. 139

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!

  • 158. POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Houston Dynamo (Again)

    58:27||Ep. 158
    Much like LAFC, our golden boot contender in Vince was out for this show, partying for his bday (Happy Bday Vince!), and because of that we ended up matching LAFC in lack of soccer as well on this postgame show, and got our discussion of LAFC's 0-0 tie to the same team they played days ago without half their best players out of the way fairly efficiently, so we could move on to other topics equally lacking in substance: the best ice cream in LA, video games, and of course our favorite, walkable cities. If we played our cards right, it was an impeccable 0-0-tie-that-felt-like-a-win of podcast episodes!!!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot
  • 157. H*USTON MATCH PREVIEW: We Don't Talk About H*uston

    59:43||Ep. 157
    As you know we have a running rule on this podcast that we don't speak of the team we are playing this week, so we don't do it! But Darren, Vince, and Travis do talk about all of the storylines around LAFC, including International Break, tired legs, and just what's going on with Atuesta. Then (TRIGGER WARNING!) we rank the worst Final losses in LAFC history and do some exposure therapy to make sure we can all get over it together. Also, it's Vince's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

    46:59||Ep. 155
    Okay, just for the record, we talk about piss a LOT in this episode, but THAT'S HOW YOU GROW THE GAME!!! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down everything about our 10th straight win against Seattle: Denis Bouanga's clear and obvious penalty, a pitch so beautiful you could hear it crunch, and a real fun and chaotic game after that terrible loss that was Leagues Cup Final. Plus, Noah Riffe from Lobbing Scorchers joins us again to let us know what the vibes were like on the "field" at Starfire, and he even ran into some listeners live on the ground. And good news: we get to lose another final!!!!

  • 154. SEATTLE MATCH PREVIEW: Lobbing Feet (US Open Cup Semifinal)

    01:12:31||Ep. 154
    Darren and Vince dive into LAFC's US Open Cup semifinal against the Seattle Sounders. Can we immediately shake off our Leagues Cup Final loss and avoid choking in another tournament three days later? Will we even have the same roster to do it with? Can we maintain our ownership of the Seattle Sounders and be their Columbus Crew to LAFC's... Columbus Crew? How do you do that kind of turn-of-phrase? That can't be how you do it. Is that how you use "turn-of-phrase"?Check out the Lobbing Scorchers podcast:Website | YouTube | Spotify | AppleJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

    48:05||Ep. 152
    Lumen Field? More like LOL-men Field. The Black and Gold head up to Seattle for the second time in a month and come away with the exact same 3-0 score line. Travis and Vince break down Lewis O'Brien's debut, the fact Giroud has barely touch the ball, and just how incredible our backline has looked lately. Then, they discuss walkable cities, fight about where the Semifinal match up will be played, and discuss a secret kit sponsor that Vince won't reveal.

  • 151. SEATTLE MATCH PREVIEW: Live From Los Angeles, It's Wednesday Night!

    01:13:11||Ep. 151
    A LIVE PREVIEW SHOW? NOOOO!! Travis, Vince, and Darren take the one hour of free time they have this week, go live on youtube, and break down EVERYTHING you need to know about our Leagues Cup Quarter-Final against the Seattle Sounders, and boy is it sloppy. It's long, it's wrong, and there's a live storyline song! We talk Giroud on turf, the lack of Griezmann news, and give some updates on Timothy Tillman. Then, we get some listener questions and make some bets and do a really good job not mentioning walkable cities.

    Maybe the most fun post-game pod ever? LAFC are through to the quarter-finals of Leagues Cup and Darren, Vince, and Travis are here to break the whole game down. We talk Giroud's debut, the quality of the field, the quality of Giroud's thighs, and then a bunch of people send us Super-Chats and we are giddy like school boys. Olivera, Duenas, Martinez, and Bogusz all make an appearance. Welcome to Super-chat city!
