  • Brings you closer to the club and culture

    Update 10/30/2020: the podcast was shook up by the departure of Vince, and it seemed to take Max some time to work out a new format and cadence. It’s once again a great podcast and a valuable way to stay closer to the club. Still, I think Max is at his best when he has someone to banter with. Can we get Gevrina on the pod? Someone Max can compare analysis with?

    Original review:

    So, say you’re a fan of the team. You’ve been to a few matches and the excitement from your first time at Banc of Cali... more

  • Vince was the best part of the podcast

    Vince was the best part of the show. His analysis and his post match breakdowns were very informative and spot on. Very disappointed he is no longer part of the club and podcast

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Black & Gold Insider Ep. 68 | Ryan Hollingshead
Q: What is the philosophy of you guys when you see them come in and how to incorporate them where they know they're in the right place, where they feel comfortable?
Hollingshead says new players are welcomed with pride in the club but quickly brought into demanding training because the team needs them to contribute before the season ends.
Black & Gold Insider Ep. 68 | Ryan Hollingshead
Q: What has the time been like with Xavi, and how do you see him adjusting to that role?
Hollingshead praises Xavi Tamarit's tactical knowledge and says the transition from assistant coach to head coach requires leadership and player-management skills, which he sees Tamarit developing.
Black & Gold Insider Ep. 69 | Leo Walta
Q: What's the secret to a good free kick? What do you say to yourself?
He first checks the goalkeeper's position. For a goal against New York, he says the keeper was too central, while Kossi stood in the keeper's line of sight and limited his reaction time.
Black & Gold Insider Ep. 69 | Leo Walta
Q: What did you know about LAFC and Major League Soccer before arriving?
Walta knew LAFC was a young club that had won MLS and that Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min played there, but he had not followed the league closely from Finland.
Acción LAFC Con Armando Aguayo | Ep. 92
Q: Usted, como entrenador, estas palabras las toma como presión o como motivación de cara a los playoffs?
El entrenador respondió que se toma como motivación, reforzando la idea de que jugar muchos partidos fuera de casa forja actitud y que el equipo busca tres puntos para asegurar su lugar en playoffs.
