Derby Day is upon us for the first time in 2021, and even though it’s down in Carson, and even though only 8,000 fans would be allowed in the park, there truly isn’t anything like the Battle for Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the Black and Gold faithful would be treated to a frustrating evening in Carson, as the boys fell 2-1. It’s Episode 145, and it’s this season’s biggest match so far in the new campaign. 

 On this episode, we discuss the potential LAFC selloff on the horizon, the debut of Kim Moon-Hwan, the lingering injury of the king, Carlos Vela, and the atmosphere in Carson on match day. Eduard Atuesta signs for another year, Kenneth Vermeer makes it officially official in Cincy, and the “Former LAFC Player Round-up” sees Walker with another assist. 

 Also on 145, Scarf actually hops back on the Team Brian train for a minute, and he even brings Filly with him while our “Wait, What?!” moment of the podcast sees three Black and Gold players in a phone booth. (Hint: none of them changed into Superman.) LAFC doesn’t have a ton of time to lick their wounds, as the club heads to Seattle to take on the Sounders next Sunday. 

 To all the moms out there, we here at Defenders wish you the very best Mother’s Day you could ask for. We love you all, and we cannot wait to wash this one away with a big win in Seattle for Episode 146.
