Will Sporting Kansas City be out for revenge on Saturday? Or are they just kinda... done? And it's the long awaited return of the Official Happy Foot Sad Foot Quarterly Review! You'll NEVER GUESS the SHOCKING TRUTH behind who is our new LAFC Fantasy Goals leader heading into the final stretch. Check out the video version of this episode if you wanna see Travis' dog trying to lick the food poisoning off of him!

In the words of Daniel, "3 points. Nothing else matters. On to the next." But BOY WAS I ANGRY AT THAT REF. Giroud's beautiful first MLS goal was called off, Bouanga had a classic BB, Olivera did something with his head we don't have to ever talk about again. and This postgame had everything: Vince in front of a hot dog, Darren reiterating how much Open Cup means to us, Travis finally explaining the podcast polycule, and fan favorite Miss Bones in the flesh. Wait...do skeletons have flesh? RIP to the man Tim Tillman hit in the penis.

Darren and Vince (Dince) dive into LAFC's massive in-season victory over Cincinnati, celebrating a rotated squad's cohesive performance against a top Eastern Conference team on their pitch. Clutch contributions from guys all over the pitch, start to finish, solidify that yes, we are, indeed, EXTREMELY BACK. Campos, Olivera, Martinez, Lloris, Bouanga... everyone brought it. I'm just naming players at this point. We have climbed out of our trench and are building momentum at form at just the right moment, which is why we need to focus on the most important parts of the show which are 1) The HaFoSafo LAFC Watchalong Curse is officially broken, and it was 100% Travis' fault, and 2) Vince and Darren both need to watch classic Gene Hackman movies before they speak again next, which is a thing they did far too much of today. Thanks to everyone who hung out with us!

Our Lamar Hunt,

who art in heaven,

Open be thy Cup;

thy Kansas City come; our win be done;

on BMO as it is in Seattle.

Give us this day our daily trophy.

And forgive us our cup losses,

as we forgive those who cup loss against us (Philadelphia).

And lead us not into Columbus;

but deliver us from curses.

A-tuesta.

David Martinez: THIS IS YOUR CITY. Travis and Darren break down that BARN BURNER of a draw between LAFC and a depleted Austin roster. We talk Giroud's slow start with the team, Dolo's tactical changes, and of course, Carlos Vela being trotted out seconds before kickoff. Then we give an 18 year old car buying advice (IT WAS SATIRICAL ADVICE) because that's the type of game it was. Also a dog called in! We got to talk to a dog named Bradley!!

YEEE HAWWWW! HOWDY PARTNER! Darren, Vince, and Travis break down our Texas-sized week by covering everything you need to know. We ask all the pressing questions: Is Giroud a bust? Will Vela start? And of course, are we okay? Plus, we decide to take care of our souls with a much needed meditation to cleanse our spirits. I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING!

It was the best of times, and then it was the worst of times. Darren and Vince cry it out with Friends Of The Foot there to help take the edge off a HUGE El Tráfico loss a little bit. We went to Carson and put up one of the best halves of football we've played in a long time, which is always a great move as long as you don't play one of the worst halves in team history for the second half, which we did. We break down an impressively thorough collapse at one of the worst possible moments for it, point some fingers, and try to remind ourselves that Vela is back as a way to maybe get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow's a new day, and then three days later is a new match. Let's see what we do with this wake-up call! That's... that's El Tráfico, baby :-/

At around 7:30pm Pacific Standard Time, Tom Bogert posted news that none of us will ever forget... CARLOS VELA IS BLACK AND GOLD. The most important player in LAFC history is returning and we talked all about it. Darren, Vince, and Travis break down every burning question, from what Carlos means to the team, where he fits in with our rotation, and whether or not he gained any weight on his year of travel. Then, they're joined by a who's who of callers, including world famous FILLY from Defenders of the Banc, which you should listen to if you don't. CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!! CARLOS VELA IS BACK!!!
