Not one, not two, but three special guests are on the Max + Vince Podcast this week. Max is away on vacation, so Katia Castorena of ESPN Deportes joins Vince to host the show. They start with a chat on LAFC’s recent form through the most congested part of the season. Katia shares her thoughts on why LAFC’s blip in form now could serve them come the end of the season. Vince and Katia share their thoughts on the 3-2 loss to Vancouver before changing gears to talk Leagues Cup. The new tournament between MLS and Liga MX kicks off at the end of July and already things are getting spicy. Katia tells us what Liga MX players and fans think about the tournament. Finally, we welcome LAFC defender Denil Maldonado to the show to talk about settling in with LAFC, the passion for football in Honduras, and learning from Giorgio Chiellini with a special appearance from the man himself!
