It's Episode 373, and LAFC provides very few signs of life in our last MLS Regular Season match before Leagues Cup. LAFC falls at home, 1-0, to the Timbers.

The lone bright spot of this match? The performance in the MLS debut of defender Kenny Nielsen! Nielsen was solid, and his near-goal on an audacious bicycle kick attempt in the second half was the highlight of the match.

LAFC and Carson played for the 26th time on Saturday, and this one, for Black and Gold Faithful, may have been the most frustrating yet. Despite twice holding a 2-goal lead, LAFC had to settle for a point in a 3-3 draw as Galaxy scored at the death.

Denis Bouanga did all he could while he was on the pitch, scoring twice to move within 6 of Carlos Vela all-time. Gabriel Pec added a brace of his own, and a last-second header by Maya Yoshida forced both sides home with a point. A red card for Eddie Segura in stoppage certainly complicates matters for the home side in their next match against Portland. 

Also on this episode, Bone Thugs and Harmony make an appearance at BMO! Enjoy Episode 372.

Episode 370 has many highlights, including a dominating win by LAFC over Dallas, another great performance by Denis, and a goal-of-the-year moment in the LAFC Unified match. But there is a pall over the match, and the episode, as LAFC appears to have lost our captain, Aaron Long, with a significant leg injury. 

Also on this episode, the man's name is Turbo, so please, put some respect on it! What a goal! Nate scores again, Dilrosun continues to get better, and Denis actually comes off the pitch! Enjoy Episode 370!

LAFC saw three welcome sights stroll into BMO Stadium, as Giorgio Chiellini, Hello Kitty, and the Colorado Rapids made their way to the BMO! LAFC would pummel the Rapids, 3-0, behind Denis' 83rd and Dilrosun's 1st, amidst a sea of plush kittens.

Also on this pod, Filly swears. We're sorry. Well, at least Scarf is. Laff joins us, and apparently, he's the new conductor of the Martinez Motorcade. All aboard!
