  • LAFC All Donuts vs Colorado: Tired Fans React to Tired Legs, 0-0 Tie at Home
    Apr 23 2026

    A deeply dull, frustrating 0-0 draw with the Colorado Rapids; one of the most boring, nerdy matches we've ever seen at BMO. No injuries, the return of Aaron Long and Stephen Eustáquio, and Hugo Lloris continuing his stint as a human brick wall are all we'd like to remember from this one. The schedule has pounded us and we played like it. Unfortunately we've got a lot of games, and big games, looking right at us in the coming days and weeks. The season rollercoaster has officially put us on the first big turn heading into Minnesota, then the CONCACAF Champions Cup Semis. Hold on tight!

  • An Embarrassing LAFC Collapse vs San Jose at Home | Fans React
    Apr 20 2026

    Travis and Vince react to LAFC’s humiliating 4–1 home loss to San Jose, calling it the team’s worst performance of the season and a game LAFC largely lost through its own sloppy play. A second-half meltdown featured three goals conceded in six minutes off glaring defensive mistakes; missed chances in attack;and a lack of urgency and off-ball movement. Add poor finishing and decision-making from the front line and this one was brutal. RIP Hugo Lloris' clean-sheet streak. Wednesday’s match vs Colorado is a chance to reset ahead of big CONCACAF Champions Cup games vs. Toluca. Happy LAFC Kids Day I guess.
