It's over. In a match that mirrored our season, the team had a first half to forget, and a superhero named Son Heung-min who turned things around in the second half and made us believe in miracles. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, and PKs went to Vancouver. Not to be outdone, we decided that maybe if we livestream long enough, we can change reality. In the end, our own extra time meant nothing. But it was still a good time.

ORDAZ IS BETTER THAN MESSI. A win is a win as LAFC move ahead thanks to a weird match against Austin in this Best of 3 series. Ilie turns heel, Hollingshead grows the stache, and Max Bretos stops by without audio for a period of time we probably cut off the video! One more and we are moving on. ITS ORDAZ SZN BABY!!!
