Three games into the season, and LAFC is still undefeated! However, leaving Yankee Stadium after our first game against NYCFC on their turf leaves us with that same feeling we had after last year’s 2-2 draw.
On Episode 12, hear Filly and The Scarf’s complete game recap of our second consecutive 2-2 draw with NYCFC. The Defenders also cover a good bit of news regarding our “unofficial official” USL team, Phoenix Rising FC. Five LAFC players currently reside in the Valley of the Sun, including Javi Perez, Josh Perez, Lamar Batista, Tristan Blackmon, and show favorite Shaft Brewer, Jr. We also cover Wayne Rooney’s hat trick against hated “rival” Real Salt Lake and FC Cincinnati’s first MLS win against our foes from the north, Portland.
Rounding out the podcast, we wish a very happy birthday to team owner Mia Hamm Garciaparra, we thank the Cuervos for being wonderful hosts to Filly during their watch party at El Tejano, and we cordially invite all of our listeners out to a special scarf launch for LAFC and The Scarf’s collaboration on his birthday, Wednesday, March 20th at LAFC HQ! We hope you all enjoy Episode 12 of Defenders of the Banc!
