After a wild introduction to the best-of-3 series to open up the postseason, and after the long pause during the two week International break, it is once again time for LAFC to take the pitch. In case you forgot, the black & gold are up in Seattle to take on the Sounders in this Western Conference semifinals matchup. At this point the rivalry between these two sides is no longer budding, but in full bloom, and it doesn’t get much better than a playoff match where winner advances, and loser spends another year pondering what ifs. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฆ pic.twitter.com/JucdsajWkR โ€”…

After putting on a vintage performance in the opening match of this best-of-3 series, LAFC hit the road and make the trip to Vancouver to take on the Whitecaps in their house. The biggest question coming into this one was which LAFC would we get tonight? Would it be the LAFC we saw last weekend, the uber talented group capable of unleashing an avalanche of goals in any given match. Or would we see the 2023 version of LAFC. Still a good team, but inconsistent. A team that has followed up big wins with letdowns just as big. Alas, this…

The long regular season has officially ended, and the quest for an MLS Cup repeat has begun for LAFC. Tonight, the team host Vancouver Whitecaps in Match One of this year’s newly formatted, best-of-3 series in the first round of the playoffs. With a hard-earned homefield advantage, LAFC will get two of the three matches at home, but can advance by winning the first two matches straight-up. First though, this side will have to get the first win at home against a very tough and very tricky Vancouver side. Title defense begins today. LAFC vs Vancouver 5PM @BMOStadium ๐ŸŽŸ -…

Survive and advance. That’s all you want to do when you reach the postseason, and that is exactly what Orange County SC did this past weekend at home. Facing off against El Paso Locomotive FC in the opening round of the USL Championship Playoffs, the Orange took care of business in a match that was close on the scoreboard, but one they were in control of for the most part.

MLS Decision Day is here! Luckily for LAFC, they have already punched their ticket to the postseason, and have even locked in a top five spot. There was still some seeding to be decided, but coming into the road match against Vancouver Whitecaps, LAFC knew they would finish no higher than second and no lower than fourth in the Western Conference. For the home side, Vancouver have also secured a playoff spot, but currently sitting at sixth, they had the chance to improve positioning with a win over Los Angeles. ๐Ÿ“ Vancouver, Canada pic.twitter.com/ulBthyt5mc โ€” LAFC (@LAFC) October 22, 2023…

It’s funny how LA sports work sometimes. Despite this being only their second year as a club that exists on this planet, there was a sense of, finally this team is seeing a postseason. More so than expected, tonight is a happy surprise for Angel City FC, a team that just a few months ago was hovering around the bottom of the standings. Now, the team are on the road against the OL Reign in what is the biggest match of their short history, making their NWSL Playoffs debut. For the team that has been playing playoff soccer for the…

In a lot of ways, this moment is unbelievable. Downright improbable when considering the way this season started. Today, Angel City FC are set to make their NWSL Playoff debut against growing rivals, OL Reign. Yes, at the start of the season, this was the expected result. A team that, despite a plethora of injuries last season, nearly missed out on the postseason by just a few points. However, for the first half of the season, it didn’t look that way. In fact, this is a team that, at the halfway mark of the season, was hovering around dead last…
