Are we ever going to win a game again? Darren and Vince (with Travis checking in via prerecorded NYC street videos) preview LAFC’s two-match week: Red Bull New York at BMO Stadium and Sporting Kansas City on the road. This ep HAS IT ALL! We cover the winless stretch, thin margins, finishing issues, an incomplete roster, injuries, disjointed tactics, limited bench options, new signings, visas, what it means if we can’t beat two bad teams, and of course, sea turtles!
