YES, WE ARE BACK. Not because of a 2-2 draw with Chicago, but because the prodigal Son Heung-min has come home (which also, is not Chicago). Darren and Vince analyze the highs and lows of the match, and look ahead to what looks like a very Sonny future. Can we make a beeline to The Cup? Should Son be our Captain post haste? Will we get a 3rd DP? Good art asks more questions than it answers.

Son Heung-min is Black and Gold! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down the BLOCKBUSTER signing of the greatest Asian footballer of all time, and debate whether or not he’s the biggest signing in club history. Then, we discuss what, if anything we can take away from League Cup. And we finally do a mid-season check in on our season predictions (spoiler alert: Giroud is not the Golden Boot). What a week to be an LAFC fan. ARE WE BACK?

Heung-Min Son has arrived and so has David Martinez, as LAFC FINALLY takes down Mexican giants Tigres (with the second string). We go full sports radio in a shouting match with Geoff Tock, we stumble through pronouncing Choinére, and we even decide is Son makes LAFC officially the hottest team in MLS once again. ARE WE BACK?

Travis, Darren and Vince react to one of the weirdest LAFC matches ever, their second Leagues Cup Match, and a win(ish) on PKs thanks to Hasal coming up huge in net, after two red cards were handed out over thee course of the match by one of the worst referees to ever step on the pitch at BMO.
