  • Max + Vince Podcast #124 - Clash Of Styles with Special Guest Doneil Henry

    It took nearly 93 minutes for LAFC to rescue a point against the Portland Timbers on Sunday. But a point is a point. And Max and Vince kick things off by talking about how big of a difference the end result was this last weekend versus 2021. The guys break down what it is about Portland that is so frustrating and where LAFC struggled for long stretches. Then we turn our eyes to Miami. Phil Neville's team has struggled in two matches this season. Is that good or bad for LAFC in their first away trip of the season? After that, LAFC and Canada defender Doneil Henry joins the show. It was Max and Vince's first time talking with Doneil and he didn't disappoint. Hear about his experience playing in South Korea, why coming to LAFC is an exciting challenge, and how the Black & Gold can help him realize his World Cup dreams.

  • Max + Vince Podcast #123 - Winning Start with Special Guest Ilie Sanchez

    Could we have asked for a better start to the 2022 MLS season from LAFC? A hat trick from Carlos Vela. A shutout for the defense. And three points for Steve Cherundolo in his debut as an MLS head coach. Max and Vince take us through the 3-0 victory against the Colorado Rapids. There was a lot to like from this match. Max and Vince do their best to boil it down to the most essential parts with a bit of hijinx and rambling in between. The guys give their takes on Carlos Vela's Player of the Week performance and talk about the debuts of several new players. After that, we turn our attention to Portland. What to expect from the Timbers are they travel to Banc of California Stadium on Sunday. Then it's time to bring on our special guest. Fresh off his Team of the Week performance, Ilie Sanchez joins the show. We talk about his role in the team, why his position sometimes gets overlooked for praise, and why he thinks the LAFC fans are some of the best to play in front of and the most educated in the league. All that and more on another episode of the MVP. If you love the show, tell a friend and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!

  • Max + Vince Podcast #120 - Transfers, Trades, Schedule Release + Special Guest Tom Bogert
    Even in the offseason, you can barely take a week off. The Max + Vince Podcast is back to take you through a ton of LAFC news. We had transfers, trades, even the MLS scheduled dropped, and, of course, the MLS Expansion Draft. First up, it's the big news. LAFC midfielder Eduard Atuesta is on his way to Palmeiras in Brazil. The Colombian was a pivotal player for LAFC since his arrival in 2018. He joins the back-to-back Copa Libertadores champions. Max and Vince break down the move for Atuesta and LAFC, and the guys talk about what it will take to replace him. Then it's more roster moves. The 2021 MLS Expansion Draft went down and LAFC was a focal point. Tristan Blackmon was selected by expansion side Charlotte FC. But LAFC also gained a player, trading for Ismael Tajouri-Shradi, Charlotte's 5th pick of the draft. Max and Vince go over all the comings and goings before going over the 2022 MLS Schedule - a lot of exciting away days incoming for LAFC supporters. We wrap the episode and the 2021 MVP season with an MVP guest - Tom Bogert of MLSsoccer.com joins Max and Vince. Tom is the go-to guy for transfer news around MLS. His scoops have become legendary around these parts. So, we get a chance to chat with him just as his offseason is heating up and he's got incredible insight into what LAFC is going to be up to over the next couple of months, including talk of a DP and more.
