On a very special and very different episode of Defenders of the Banc, we partner with LAFC and the good people at Santa Monica Brew Works for an incredibly entertaining watch party for the USMNT's maiden voyage in the 2022 World Cup, their match against Gareth Bale and Wales. 

Listen along with the Defenders as we watch the 1-1 draw between the United States and Wales. We bring on a TON of guests, including Rich Orosco, Jimmy and Cassie Lopez, Tony from Heart of LAFC, Len Lanzi, Chris Lafferty, George Salameh, two incredibly well-spoken middle schoolers, Luca and Sebastian, and two guys who played soccer with Haji Wright at Culver City Middle School! It's an absolute blast!

Again, a HUGE thank you to LAFC for asking us to be a part of this special day, to Santa Monica Brew Works for being a wonderful host, and to our sponsor, FLEX, for being there every step of the way!
