Happy Foot Sad Foot

Darren, Travis, and Vince discuss the 5-2 steamrolling from Seattle IN Seattle ON their turf. A WILDLY rotated squad managed to land nowhere near adjusted expectations for the group, with a lackluster performance across the board. We thought we had depth - at the very least, we don't have an entire second lineup of starters. But we do have a healthy first line (except Marlon, who didn't escape the turf unscathed) for our far-more important CONCACAF Champions Cup match in Columbus on Tuesday.

Two games. Two revenge stories. Two hosts. RIP Darren Miller. Travis and Vince hold down the fort and discuss everything you need to know about a week that will mean a lot for the psyche of LAFC fans. We discuss our dominating win against Columbus and what we have to do to bring it home in the second leg, and then we chat with Noah Riffe from Lobbing Scorchers about just why this Seattle Sounders team is even scarier this year. Let's be honest, this episode is mostly Vince being smart and Travis saying things like "are we back?" over and over again.

LAFC with an HISTORIC win and tactical MASTERY over Columbus Crew. We (all three TOGETHER IN PERSON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER) celebrate LAFC's 3-0 CCC victory against Columbus Crew, including Bouanga's stellar goals and the team's disciplined pressing and buildup play. Despite a limited crowd, the atmosphere was electric. We break down the match, the game plan, and the goals, with the help of some new and old friendly faces, as well as one old unfriendly voice. #DoloIn #UpTheFootJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

We dissect LAFC's narrow 1-0 victory over NYCFC, thanks to a late goal from THE STACHE, Ryan Hollingshead. Were we thrilled with the win? Not really. Should we have been? Maybe! Have they established themselves this season in a way that makes us feel confident about Tuesday's CCC match vs. Columbus Crew? Not really! Are we gonna look back at 6 points from the first two matches in MLS play as huge later in the season? Maybe!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

Yes, we talk about Sergi Palencia. But Travis, Darren, and Vince ALSO breakdown everything you need to know about this week's terrifying match up against the Columbus Crew in the Champions League, and a regular season match up against the pigeons from Queens. We talk Olivier Giroud's starting spot, we try to say something nice about the city of Columbus, and we pay Darren out for his WAY TOO EASY bet from last week. But we also have to talk about Sergi Palencia and we don't like it!Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

I think I speak for everyone when I say: yeah, sure, I guess that was soccer. Travis is back and he joins Darren and Vince to break down LAFC's 1-0 victory/loss against Colorado. This one's got everything: the pod officially turns on Giroud, Delgado officially turns on Carson, and the announcer officially turns on his Spanish pronunciation when he says Palenthia. Speaking of Palencia, wooooof, it's about to get ugly, as a scandal around him saying a slur will almost definitely be what people remember about this one. But despite it all, this post-game was a fun one.

Darren hosts solo as he recaps LAFC's narrow 1-0 victory to kick off the MLS season. We saw some rust get worked off nicely, and some rust still hangin out, which is not as nice, but a BEAUTIFUL team goal from Delgato-to-Bouanga-to-Ordaz-to-Ebobisse for the BANGER maintained LAFC's undefeated status at home. We also got important updates from callers on the 2025 BMO stadium vibes, food updates, and more. Also, Darren's bet cashed on DAY ONE!? Travis and Vince COULD NEVER.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

I guess we're starting a tradition now of starting every season IN A GODDAMN FREEZER!!!! Darren and Vince react to LAFC's first competitive match in below-zero weather, and an above-zero scoreline that got them 1 away goal going into the second leg of this competition in a week (in beautiful Los Angeles, California, the only reasonable place to play a soccer game). We welcomed old friends calling into the show to give their reactions too, and depending on who you listen to, get ready to get mad, or just relax. Oh also Geoff Tock, Heel of The Foot, Terrible Human, came on the show too. I'd describe his tactics as "spray and pray."
