It's Episode 139 of Defenders, and this one is special! On this episode, we have a REAL Defender of the Banc, everyone's favorite center-back, Eddie Segura! 

Eddie sits down with Filly, Scarf, and our newest member of the Defenders squad, Lalo! We ask the questions, Eddie answers them, and Lalo does a wonderful job of translating everything. It's our first bi-lingual episode, and we couldn't be happier to bring it to you!

Eddie is fantastic, and we delve into all kinds of fun stuff with #4. What crazy circumstances led to Eddie making his senior team debut at 16? How did it feel representing his country? What's it like playing in front of the 3252? Or no fans at all during the pandemic? And how adorable is his son, Martin?! 

Also on the episode, Filly shows off the one Spanish word he knows, Scarf makes a shameless plug for Italian soccer, and Lalo becomes our favorite Flores twin. (We still love you, Gaston. Just not as much.) 

A big thank you to Diego (formerly of LAFC PR) and Vic (from Athletes in the Making) for helping us put this interview together, and of course to Eddie and his son Martin for giving us their time! 

Finally, the episode opens with a moment for Mo. The entire LAFC community mourns the passing of Mauricio "Mo" Fascio, a wonderful father and a friend to so many. Rest well, Mo.
