November 09, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #117 - The End Of 2021 & The Biggest Offseason In LAFC History
Max and Vince wanted to start off by thanking all the listeners (and viewers) of the podcast during the 2021 season. LAFC may have come up short in its pursuit of a playoff spot but it's been awesome doing this show for all of you this season and meeting many of you at matches, tailgates, away trips, or around Los Angeles. We're not totally finished for 2021 but we'll be taking a few weeks off. Then we'll do our best to bring you any offseason news and reactions as they happen. Now to the match. LAFC was always going to be up against it, needing a win and some help. They conceded the first goal to Jonathan Lewis and after a huge miss from the normally reliable Chicho Arango, things unraveled from there. Max and Vince break down what Colorado did to wrestle control of the match from LAFC and how the Black & Gold play on the edge led to the high score. That brings us to the offseason. LAFC has a considerable amount of big decisions to make. The guys give their takes on where they think LAFC is leaning and what might be the path to righting the club in 2022.

November 03, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #116 - Everything But The Finishing Touch & LAFC Still Alive
Here are the facts. LAFC fell short against the Vancouver Whitecaps in a match they needed to win to control their own destiny. The 1-1 draw now puts LAFC's playoff hopes in jeopardy. They need a win on the last day of the season and a few results to go their way. Now to the show. Max and Vince go through the match against Vancouver. Carlos Vela had more than a cameo but the team couldn't find the finishing touch it needed. Is that a good or a bad sign for the match with the Rapids? The guys also go through all the playoff scenarios and give their thoughts on who might start in the final match of the season.

October 25, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #115 - All To Play For
We've got a lot to talk about. But we have to do it quickly because LAFC is back in action on Tuesday. Max and Vince were in the 110 Football studios on Monday to break down LAFC's long road trip... well, after they stopped talking about movies, music, pop culture, and anything else that came to mind. But once they got to the football, they started with the comeback win in Dallas. LAFC was fortunate but the quality of Chicho Arango lifted them in a desperate moment. Then it was off to Minnesota for a huge six-pointer. LAFC suffered through much of the match without the ball but Max and Vince talk about how it might have been Minnesota that walked away the more disappointed of the two teams. That sets up a pivotal match with Seattle on Tuesday at Banc. The guys talk about what LAFC will need to do against Seattle and go over the race for spots four through seven in the Western Conference - just five points separate 4th from 9th place in the West, it's going to be a wild finish.

October 19, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #114 - One Down, Five To Go In LAFC's Playoff Chase
The #SeasonWithinTheSeason kicked off this past weekend. LAFC did its part with a 3-1 win over San Jose. But the Black & Gold didn't get any help this time around, as it remains four points adrift of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Max and Vince are here to break down the win over San Jose. It was a stellar first half for the Black & Gold. Danny Musovski started the scoring, forming a great partnership with Chicho Arango up top. Despite squandering a few chances, LAFC finished the half up 2-0. Max and Vince talk about the top performers from the half and what they liked about LAFC's approach to the match. The second half was a bit nervy after the Earthquakes cut the lead to 2-1. But Brian Rodriguez, fresh off a plane from Brazil, sealed the match with a great run and assist to Chicho. We talk about what the win means as all the teams ahead of LAFC also picked up 3 points. Then it's a look ahead to a long road trip and two quick matches in succession in Dallas and Minnesota. LAFC will need to continue a near-perfect run to keep pace with the rest of the challengers in the West. And of course, Vince and Max have their normal detours into pop culture, including a chat about horror movies. Please rate, review, and share!

October 13, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #113 - #SeasonWithinTheSeason with Special Guests Jordan Harvey & Jamal Blackman
It's simple. Four points separate LAFC from the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Six matches in 23 days will determine the fate of the Black & Gold's 2021 season. Max and Vince are back to give you the details of LAFC's #SeasonWithinTheSeason from the Nectar Performance Center. After a brief chat about what it will take to reach the playoffs and the teams LAFC is vying with, Max and Vince bring on a couple of special guests. First, LAFC veteran from Day 1, Jordan Harvey joins the guys. The defender tells us what life is like in the LAFC locker room right now, how the guys are feeling ahead of a pressure-packed 6 weeks, and why they don't pay too much attention to what people are saying on the outside. After Jordan, we speak with LAFC's newest goalkeeper. Jamal Blackman joins the show to talk about his experience joining the team more than midway through the season. He also schools us on some goalkeeper analysis and the different styles of goalkeeping. Don't forget to rate, review, and share the podcast. We'll be back next week after the San Jose match.

October 05, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #112 - All Things Derby On & Off The Pitch
Max is back and we're not holding anything back. We cover the derby from before kickoff to after the final whistle. Max and Vince breakdown the incredible support that followed the Black & Gold to Dignity Health Sports Park. Over two hours before the match, LAFC had around 650 supporters, arriving in 13 buses, clad in all-black inside the stadium. The buzz that surrounded the match between the Galaxy and LAFC never disappoints. The match? That was a little bit different. Max and Vince share their thoughts on what went right and what went wrong in a 1-1 draw that really doesn't help either team. After that, the focus is on the "season within the season." LAFC has six matches remaining, the guys talk about what it will take to reach the playoffs. Then it's on to a more serious topic - things going too far in a rivalry. After the final whistle, Max and Vince share what they saw and offered a stern message to those that think that is passion in a rivalry. It's our hope the clubs and fans will work together to keep the passion of the rivalry on the pitch and through active support, not through violence. Finally, we're talking the international break. Yes, it's back. We don't love it but at least we're not playing any matches through it!

October 01, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #111 - Is It Too Late & Can A Derby Win Make It Better?
We're calling this the MVP + C podcast this week. Max Bretos is away this week but keeping his seat warm is 110 Football's Connor Kalopsis. Fear not! Even with Max gone, Vince takes Connor on many off-topic rants. But we're mainly focused on the bad run of form LAFC finds itself in ahead of the derby. Why have the last two losses hurt so much? Are the playoffs out of reach? And would a win over the Galaxy make it all better? Vince and Connor discuss all those topics along with their most hated MLS players, what they think is going to happen against the Galaxy, and why you can never totally eliminate mistakes but goals can cover them up.

September 23, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #110 - LAFC Missing That Finishing Touch
Welcome back, LAFC fans. Sorry, we're for a later-than-usual podcast this week. But we're coming at you with great analysis of the match in Portland and a preview of LAFC's trip to San Jose. Vince was in Portland for the Timbers match. He shares his experience amongst the Timbers fans and throughout the city. Max and Vince break down a match they thought LAFC had no business losing. The Black & Gold looked almost as good as they have during this entire run of good form. They simply didn't finish their big opportunities. The guys give their takes on that and the great play of Chicho Arango. Is the Colombian a Newcomer of the Year candidate? Max and Vince discuss. Then it's on to San Jose. All is not lost after the defeat in Portland but LAFC has to be nearly perfect to end the season. The guys talk about what they feel LAFC needs before the upcoming international break and if the playoffs are in the cards. All that and the usual off-topic tangents and sidetracks music, movies and more on another episode of the MVP. Please rate, review, and share. And thank you for listening!

September 14, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #109 - It's All Six-Pointers The Rest Of The Way For LAFC
LAFC has followed up its eight-match winless streak with two wins on the bounce. The Black & Gold now have the playoffs in sight but the matches are going to start coming fast and heavy from here until the end of the season. Max and Vince have a full breakdown of the 3-2 win over Real Salt Lake. Bob Bradley rewarded the team that beat Sporting KC last week and it paid off within 20 seconds. Chicho Arango has found his scoring boots. Bryce Duke continues to power the team forward from an interesting role. While Eduard Atuesta has grown into his role as LAFC captain with Carlos Vela still nursing an injury. The guys talk about the best performances from the match and why a little luck isn't such a bad thing this time of year. We then turn our attention to Austin FC and the tough road schedule that awaits LAFC. And the guys go on plenty of tangents and diversions about their weekends, music, movies, etc. Pretty much what you expect from an episode with all Max and Vince in it. Please subscribe, rate, review, and share the podcast wherever you can, and thank you to all our loyal listeners as we come into the home stretch of the season.

September 08, 2021 Max + Vince Podcast #108 - The Kids Are Alright | Special Guests Mamadou Fall & Bryce Duke
Hope everyone had a fantastic and safe holiday weekend after LAFC kicked started things into overdrive on Friday night. Four goals against the second-best team in the Western Conference is a great result even before you consider all the extras around this match. Mamadou Fall has officially made himself known in the league with an MLS Team of the Week performance and two goals. We had the pleasure of having Mamadou join us to talk about both goals and his incredible celebration amongst the 3252. Max and Vince dive into the tactics that helped LAFC control much of the match and another star performer on the night - Bryce Duke. Playing in a free role behind the strikers, Bryce was pivotal on the night. Max and Vince bring the midfielder on to talk about his play against SKC and how the Las Vegas Lights has kept him sharp. All that and more on a new episode of the Inside LAFC: Max + Vince Podcast. Please share, rate, and review!
