After 5 years, filled with near misses, heartbreaks, and some major disappointments, LAFC will finally get their first crack at MLS Cup! It's Episode 223, and we have to pinch ourselves on this one. LAFC is on to the FINAL! 

In a complete and utter decimation at the Banc, LAFC took Austin behind the woodshed for a 3-0 (or was it 4?) beating en route to the Western Conference crown! Goals by Chicho, Mahala, and a lovely gift from Austin's Maxi Urruti provided the offense while a complete team effort on defense secured our first clean sheet in postseason history. LAFC secures their third piece of hardware and the first that can sit permanently in the trophy case, the Western Conference Championship. The boys in Black and Gold now await the Philadelphia Union, in many ways our equal in the East. 

Also on 223, Filly 3:16 makes an appearance, apparently, Moussa Djitte is a house, The 3252 kill it yet again with their incredible tifo skills, and who knew Jamie Camil can crush the national anthem? It's a week of nerves, little sleep, and, hopefully, in the end, an incredible celebration as we await a home-cooked MLS Cup Final, but tonight... we celebrate!
