David Martinez: THIS IS YOUR CITY. Travis and Darren break down that BARN BURNER of a draw between LAFC and a depleted Austin roster. We talk Giroud's slow start with the team, Dolo's tactical changes, and of course, Carlos Vela being trotted out seconds before kickoff. Then we give an 18 year old car buying advice (IT WAS SATIRICAL ADVICE) because that's the type of game it was. Also a dog called in! We got to talk to a dog named Bradley!!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

YEEE HAWWWW! HOWDY PARTNER! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down our Texas-sized week by covering everything you need to know. We ask all the pressing questions: Is Giroud a bust? Will Vela start? And of course, are we okay? Plus, we decide to take care of our souls with a much needed meditation to cleanse our spirits.

It was the best of times, and then it was the worst of times. Darren and Vince cry it out with Friends Of The Foot there to help take the edge off a HUGE El Tráfico loss a little bit. We went to Carson and put up one of the best halves of football we've played in a long time, which is always a great move as long as you don't play one of the worst halves in team history for the second half, which we did. We break down an impressively thorough collapse at one of the worst possible moments for it, point some fingers, and try to remind ourselves that Vela is back as a way to maybe get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow's a new day, and then three days later is a new match. Let's see what we do with this wake-up call! That's... that's El Tráfico, baby :-/Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

At around 7:30pm Pacific Standard Time, Tom Bogert posted news that none of us will ever forget... CARLOS VELA IS BLACK AND GOLD. The most important player in LAFC history is returning and we talked all about it. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down every burning question, from what Carlos means to the team, where he fits in with our rotation, and whether or not he gained any weight on his year of travel. Then, they're joined by a who's who of callers, including world famous FILLY from Defenders of the Banc, which you should listen to if you don't. CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!!

Darren and Vince - Dince - preview Saturday's HUGE El Tráfico match vs. the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. Can LAFC finally convincingly return to form after Leagues Cup with a rivalry win, propelling them toward the top of the West? Can we be the first team to sweep el Tráfico in a season? Will the Galaxy want it that much more? Will this be Giroud's big breakout match??? Also, LAFC just teased a new signing out of the blue... who's it gonna be, and is it good news or cover for bad news? PLUS: Travis will FAMOUSLY miss El Tráfico this week. He sends in hypothetical scenarios to see what can convince Vince and Darren to miss El Tráfico too. What would it take for you to miss it?

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
