Episode 67 is here, and, unfortunately, with it comes the end of the 2019 season, with two less wins and one fewer game than we had hoped. Apparently, it’s time to wake up from the dream season that was 2019.

In an episode we are calling Yellow and Green Make LAFC Blue, Filly and The Scarf recap the ugly defeat at the hands of the Seattle Sounders. While it’s hard enough to play against the 11 on the other side, the yellow team did us no favors tonight either. Beyond blatant handballs, flagrant fouls, and a lack of awareness of what was happening on the pitch led LAFC to fight an uphill battle all night, even while opening the game’s scoring in the 17th minute. A wonder strike from Eduard Atuesta gave us an early lead, but the front line of Nico Lodeiro, Jordan Morris, and the debut game against the Black and Gold for Raul Ruidiaz proved too much for LAFC. 

The 3-1 defeat doesn’t take away any of our accomplishments during this historic season, but it does give the feeling of unfinished business. We have so much to be thankful for, while still being left wanting so much more. Congratulations to LAFC on a wonderful sophomore season. We at Defenders of the Banc cannot wait to see what 2020 has in store. 

Thank you for all of your support throughout this second season of Defenders of the Banc! Look out for new episodes, more fundraisers, and fun interviews this offseason as we look to do something other than drink out of a shoe until the first match at The Banc next season.   

We Love you ALL,

Filly and The Scarf
