It’s Opening Day for LAFC in 2023, and with that comes rings, banners, an incredible tifo, and, like the previous 5 seasons, 3 points! Here on Episode 234, listen to Filly and Scarf break down the win over Portland. Better yet, for the first time, head on over to YouTube, and you can now WATCH the Defenders do their thing!

 Before the match, all the pomp and circumstance that comes with winning your first MLS Cup was definitely present. All three pieces of hardware were there, with a matching banner for each. Maxime Crepeau and Gareth Bale brought out the Cup while all the players received their rings. Olly, Will Ferrell, and Aaron Donald were all at newly christened BMO Stadium. It was like the first day of school and graduation day all rolled into one!

 LAFC roared out to a 3-0 lead behind goals from Carlos Vela, Mahala Opoku, and… GIORGIO CHIELLINI?!? Yes, the man who scored his first professional goal before Erik Duenas or Tony Leone was even born opens his LAFC ledger with our first goal of 2023! Scarf nearly died.

 Also on this episode, watch as the boys figure out which way to look as they try to look as natural as they can on video. We’ve got news about Chicho Arango, Mohamed Traore, and Adrien Perez as we look back at the first match in club history. With 4 more matches in 15 days, there’s definitely going to be a lot of content coming in a short amount of time, so enjoy 234 while you can!
