  • In Touch with Steve Cherundolo Ep. 7 | "Leaving A Bad Taste"
    Nobody likes to lose. But in football, dealing with adversity is part of the job for any professional. This week, Vince La Rosa asks Steve Cherundolo about dealing with setbacks and how he processes losses, especially emotional ones like this past weekend at the Galaxy. Steve shares his philosophy on getting back on track after a loss and praises the work of his team and supporters on the day. After that, it's on to our theme. There's no getting around how that late decision made us all feel - Steve included. So, we asked the LAFC head coach about things that leave a bad taste in your mouth, both literally and figuratively. Consider this a list of Steve's least favorite things.

  • Max + Vince Podcast #128 - Ilie Sanchez On Missed Opportunities & Looking Forward
    Still thinking about the result from the weekend? Yeah, us too! But we've got a great guest in midfielder Ilie Sanchez to put it all into perspective. First, Max and Vince share their thoughts on the crucial refereeing decisions in the match. While the guys appreciate PRO's explanation, it doesn't make the pain any better. Vince tells us why it's not the technical details of the decision as much as the inconsistency through the match that bugs him. Max does his best to parse all the rules and still isn't sure they got it right. Either way, the result is what it is and the guys get on with it by talking about the actual match. Did we learn more about LAFC of the Galaxy from this match? We have thoughts. Then it's time to look ahead. LAFC is back at home against Sporting KC and also has a date in the US Open Cup against a familiar opponent. Finally, it's time to bring on Ilie Sanchez to get an inside perspective of the Galaxy match. Ilie shares how desperate he was to get the first win at Dignity Health Sports Park, how he felt the game model worked but the team was unlucky, and why LAFC and fans have to forget this result until July.

  • In Touch With Steve Cherundolo Ep. 6 | Pick A Side
    We're clad head-to-toe in Black & Gold this week. But before we talk about that, we have to take stock of a wild win in Orlando. Steve continues to pull all the right levers with four different goalscorers in a 4-2 victory over Orlando City. After our brief chat on the road win, all eyes are on the Clasico Angelino against the Galaxy. And while Steve will be talking about that plenty this week, Vince has some rivalry questions of his own. Steve remembers a tense derby from his Hannover days before ranking USA vs Mexico in the pantheon of the Top 5 world rivalries. Then it's time to find out where Steve stands on some of the biggest rivalries in sports and pop culture, as Vince makes Steve pick sides and make some tough choices.

  • Max + Vince Podcast #127 - Kellyn Acosta Talks Pressure, The World Cup & Rivalries

    It's a big week. That means a big guest for the Max + Vince Podcast. Fresh off helping the U.S. Men's National Team qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and helping LAFC stay undefeated with a 4-2 win in Orlando, Kellyn Acosta joins the show. But before we bring on Kellyn to talk about qualifying and to look ahead to the weekend, Max & Vince have a review of the Orlando City match. It wasn't perfect but LAFC found a way to secure all three points. Max & Vince share their thoughts on the win with a look ahead to LAFC's trip to Carson. Will this be there first time we see Chicharito and Carlos Vela on the pitch at the same time? We talk about the excitement that is brewing around this match. But we're also going to give you our picks for the players that will influence this match that aren't Vela or Chicharito. Then it's time for our guest to join us. Kellyn tells us about the emotions of getting the USMNT back to the World Cup, how he deals with pressure, what it's like to play in the biggest rivalries, and we briefly chat about his favorite snack. All that and more on a new episode of the Max + Vince Podcast... don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!

  • In Touch with Steve Cherundolo Ep. 5 | And The Award Goes To...
    The international break is over and we're back with another episode of "In Touch with Steve Cherundolo" after a brief hiatus. This week, Vince La Rosa asks Steve what he was up to while the team was off last week. Then, with no match to review, it's straight to our theme for the episode. In honor of the 94th Academy Awards, we're doing our own version of the Oscars with Steve. The LAFC head coach has said movies have been an important part of his life. So, we gave him a chance to talk about some of his favorites across all genres.

  • Max + Vince Podcast #126 - World Cup Calling with Special Guest Ismael Tajouri-Shradi
    We're back! The team had an extra couple of days off last week and the Max + Vince Podcast did the same. But we're back with another great podcast. This week, Max and Vince talk about the recent World Cup qualifying action, including Canada clinching a spot for the first time since 1986, the USMNT all but in, and Mexico looking for answers. Then it's another great Black & Gold guest. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi makes his first appearance on the podcast. The winger has an interesting footballing genesis. We learn about his youth and how football became his profession. The guys also ask about trying to repeat as an MLS Cup champion and if he's seen the hunger for trophies from this LAFC team.

  • In Touch with Steve Cherundolo Ep. 4 | Over The Weather
    Steve Cherundolo's team returned from Miami with all three points in tow thanks to a 2-0 victory. Kwadwo Opoku and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi scored their first MLS goals with the Black & Gold to seal the victory, while Maxime Crepeau picked up his second clean sheet of the season. Despite passing an important road test, much of the talk was about the weather in Miami. Sunny and humid to swirling winds, all culminating in what looked like a monsoon by the end of the match - the most vivid picture of the day might have been the 3252 cheering in the Miami rain while everyone else ran for shelter. So, with that in mind, Vince La Rosa chatted with the LAFC head coach about playing in crazy weather and put Steve's weather knowledge to the test with a round of fact or fiction: weather.

  • In Touch with Steve Cherundolo Ep. 3 | Road Trips
    We "hit the road" this week with another episode of In Touch with Steve Cherundolo. After a last-minute goal secured a 1-1 draw at home against the Portland Timbers, LAFC pack their bags for the first road trip of the season and the first in Steve Cherndolo's tenure with the Black & Gold. This week, we ask Steve about chance creation and how LAFC can be more dangerous in the box. Then it's time for some fun with our theme. We're asking Steve questions about road trips from both his playing days and personal life.

  • Max + Vince Podcast #125 - The 'MMVP' with Special Guest Maxime Crepeau

    We're changing it up this episode. Welcome to the 'MMVP.' Vince is between two Maxes this week as LAFC goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau joins the show. Fresh off a second clean sheet of the season, Maxime joined the guys after training to talk about a slew of topics. We cover the match in Miami before talking about taking on his prior club Vancouver this weekend at the Banc. We also get some World Cup talk before Maxime joins Canada next week for what will likely result in the Canadians clinching a spot at a World Cup for the first time since 1986. Finally, we finish by talking about LAFC's supporter culture and why Maxime feels it's not to be taken for granted in MLS. But before Maxime joins the show, Max and Vince give their thoughts on the win in Miami. It was pretty but it got the job done. We go over the good, the bad, and the ugly from the match.
