## Resource

Travis, Vince, and Darren preview LAFC’s two home matches at BMO Stadium this week: Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City. With the weight of the World Cup off his shoulders, Son Heung-min finally has his first regular-season goal, and we think that's just the beginning. PLUS: we've got some dots to connect about what John Thorrington is cooking during the summer transfer window (a 3rd DP!?). And what makes Real Salt Lake good this year? What makes Sporting KC terrible this year? Can we plow through both of them!? 00:00 Welcome and Match Preview 01:09 Listener Banter and Takeaways Return 04:50 Substack Plug and Vela Bits 06:20 Sponsor Break Amirian Law 07:53 Storylines Segment Setup 08:43 Is Son Back 15:53 Summer Window Thorrington Moves 22:02 Boudri Farewell and Merch Talk 25:41 RSL and SKC Week Stakes 27:39 RSL Road Woes 28:07 RSL Schedule Crunch 28:39 Post Galaxy Momentum 29:11 Sporting KC Roast 30:27 SKC Goals Against 31:01 Kansas City Away Day 31:59 World Cup PSYOP Talk 33:57 Halftime Show Debate 36:41 Bet It Rules 37:18 Vince Cashes Out 39:26 This Week’s Wild Bets 44:30 Patreon and Sign Off Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.
