POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Minnesota (MLS Opening Day)

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

02/23/25 • 30 min

Darren hosts solo as he recaps LAFC's narrow 1-0 victory to kick off the MLS season. We saw some rust get worked off nicely, and some rust still hangin out, which is not as nice, but a BEAUTIFUL team goal from Delgato-to-Bouanga-to-Ordaz-to-Ebobisse for the BANGER maintained LAFC's undefeated status at home. We also got important updates from callers on the 2025 BMO stadium vibes, food updates, and more. Also, Darren's bet cashed on DAY ONE!? Travis and Vince COULD NEVER.

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Portland Timbers

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

09/10/23 • 48 min

The dream of the full '90 died in Portland. Darren and Vince take the reigns after a loss in Portland so depressing and thorough that Travis, an LAFC fan trying to enjoy any woods at all, was forced to take the L too and was stripped of his internet connection. But that also set the bar high for Darren and Vince to descend further into darkness than "millennial stuck alone in the woods with no internet," so they let Heel of The Foot Geoff Tock come on and liken state of the season to euthanizing a pet, and that took care of that. They also cover The Bogusz Bright Spot, the team's inability to play from behind, the failed possession game experiment, whether the transfer window was officially a failure, and a whole lot more. Dive into the darkness with us and we'll find the light together! Maybe! We'll see!

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v InterMiami CF

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

09/04/23 • 43 min

So many sad feet, we could open a foot clinic. Vince La Rosa (new co-host!) joins Travis and Darren to break down that demoralizing loss at home to the greatest player of all time, Benjamin Cremaschi. Then Kirk Kinsey from the Counter Press podcast talks about what happened and where we go from here, Geoff Tock somehow becomes a fan favorite, and LAX Andy reminds us all to meditate. That one hurt.

MIAMI MATCH PREVIEW: Blessy This Messi

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

09/01/23 • 36 min

Everyone take a deep breath. It's finally happening... this Sunday, Leo Messi is going to get nutmegged by Stipe Biuk. In this truly deranged episode, Travis and Darren will break down all of the storylines around the GOAT's arrival in LA, then play a game to make it easier to root against the guy, and finally review the brand new re-opened The Fields LA at BMO Stadium. Plus, we make some bets that we already made weeks earlier. I hope Messi likes Olly the Falcon. I think he will. I bet he will. He will. He definitely will. Yeah, he will.

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Charlotte FC w/ Vince La Rosa & Kirk Kinsey

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

08/27/23 • 39 min

You may not have liked that game, but you're gonna like this post-game! Travis, Darren and Vince break down a deeply boring game with one of the most fun post-game shows we've had in a while. Joined by Kirk Kinsey from The Counter Press podcast, Geoff Tock, the devil posing as a human, and some man named Andy in a gas station, we spend 20 minutes talking about Aaron Long, 10 minutes talking about Mario Gonzalez, and then a lot of time asking ourselves why we watch MLS. Well, I guess you can say we couldn't find the CLT.

POSTGAME POD: LAFC v Colorado w/ Vince La Rosa

Happy Foot Sad Foot: An LAFC Podcast

08/24/23 • 43 min

Who needs Messi when you have Christian Olivera? Travis, Darren, and Vince breakdown the absolute blast of a match from an LAFC team that looks the best they have all season. We talk Hollingshead's shot/cross. We talk Mario finding the right spots. We talk Vela being absolutely 100% back. And then for a little while Heel of the Foot Geoff Tock comes on and he absolutely ruins the show. 17 goals in 4 games? THAT AIN'T BAD FOLKS!

LAFC is good. But are they good enough to win in a Hurricane?
