Welcome to Episode 21 of Defenders of the Banc with Christian “Filly” Filimon and “The Scarf” J.R. Lebert. As we hit our 21st episode, LAFC seems to have hit a little bump in the road with their scoreless home draw against the uninspiring Chicago Fire.
The boys dissect the draw, including their thoughts on pushing more defenders forward, Lee Nguyen’s crisp passing and its effect on the entire team, the return of Dio, and another clean sheet by Tyler Miller.
Of course, no episode is complete without a trip in the way-back machine in This Day in LAFC History! Find out what major moment in our club’s early history occurred this week. In addition to the usual banter, the Defenders talk about the newest scarf to sell out at LAFC HQ, they run through a brief history of the reasons behind celebrating Cinco de Mayo (it’s NOT Mexican Independence Day!), they highlight another successful tailgate, and they hint at a fun event coming up in August in… Carson, of all places.
Where else can you listen to Filly fan-boy hard over Bastian Schweinsteiger or Scarf wish a very happy birthday to the beautiful Danielle Fishel (Topanga!)? Who will be the Defenders’ first player interview? (We’ve already recorded it!) All this and more is yours to hear on Episode 21 of Defenders of the Banc!
