REAL SALT LAKE MATCH PREVIEW: Pay the refs so we can yell at them!

Ep. 101
•

Darren and Vince preview LAFC's first Brunch Match against Real Salt Lake on Saturday. With Bogusz and Tillman both scoring last week, will we keep relying on Bouanga for goals, or will others keep stepping up too? Is Chicho the most missed player in LAFC history? Does he ever mention us or like talk about us or like ask how we're doing or anything? Like why won't he text me back? AND in a special segment, in case you missed what we put out as a standalone clip this week, guest host Adam Conover (Factually!, Adam Ruins Everything) interviews Peter Manachowski, the president of the Professional Soccer Referee Association, about workers' conditions, benefits, and the importance of fans' support for the refs looking for fair wages and working conditions. And Travis pops in to say hi! Hi Travis!

  • 178. PLAYOFF POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Vancouver (Rd. 1 Match 3)

    34:56||Ep. 178
    We made it through! Another tale of two halves brings our boys at LAFC to the end of a somewhat unexpectedly tough matchup with the Vancouver Whitecaps in round 1 of the playoffs, thanks to a beautiful goal from Mateusz Bogusz. Travis, Darren, and Vince break it all down and get reactions from callers, including a special guest appearance from Erik Hultstrom of Voices of The Black and Gold! Unfortunately, the many other callers included Heel of The Foot Geoff Tock as well.

  • 177. PLAYOFF POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Vancouver (Match 2)

    55:43||Ep. 177
    Well it happened. We finally were forced to return the favor for Vanni Sartini, who honestly was too generous to us for too long. That game was one of the worst of the season: two own goals, deeply boring play, a goalie standing on his head against us, and Olivier Giroud standing in place! Plus, we had the return of #DoloOut in the chat, something we always love to talk about and it never makes us angry. Come hang out and feel better with us. Ands let's win one on Friday. (Please? Please. Dear God please.)Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

    Darren here. I asked Travis if he wrote the description for this and he responded “I took a sleeping pill. I’m cruising right now.” And never responded again. This after LAFC's comfortable victory over Vancouver sparked a postgame show that featured - as usual - a way-too-wide range of topics that no one asked for, including, but not limited to, CARLOS VELA'S RETURN TO THE PITCH(!), the failure that is the 3 game playoff series experiment, a Friend of The Foot newborn(!), and of course, the moral value of real estate agents in society.Join our Patreon and help us keep making this showMerch Available Now at HappyFootSadFootPod.comTwitter: @HaFoSaFoYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Instagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot

  • 175. LAFC v VANCOUVER PLAYOFF PREVIEW: Our First Ever Game Against Them!

    57:02||Ep. 175
    Do you smell that in the air? A whiff of fear mixed with the crunch of the falling leaves? That's right... it's PLAYOFF SEASON BABY! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down the Best of Three series against the Vancouver Whitecaps: a team we have never, ever, ever played before! We breakdown all the storylines for this first round series, make picks for our MLS Cup bracket, and discuss the big one: can we win the Cup for the second time in three years? We talk Carson's easier path to the finals, Portland's insane meltdown, and maybe, just maybe, we hear the return of a certain song.

  • 173. DECISION DAY MATCH PREVIEW: The Thirst For First

    01:04:07||Ep. 173
    Decision Day is upon up and boy is my brain tired (from all the decisions!!). Darren, Travis, and Vince break down exactly what has to happen for us to steal first in the West, who we'd most like to play in round one, and then we take listener questions. We learn who what players might lose next year, debate if this regular season was a success, and decide once and for all which LAFC player is most likely to be a serial killer (they're standing right behind you). And remember this week...
