It's a new week. But the table remains the same. Thanks to a 2-0 victory at the Banc on Sunday night, LAFC sits atop the Western Conference with 22 points. Max and Vince take us through the win against Minnesota United. LAFC added to its league-leading tally of goals from substitutes as Ryan Hollingshead and Jose Cifuentes found the back of the net off the bench. The guys break down Minnesota's low block and conservative approach to the match. Will we see more teams try the same when they visit LA? After that, we look ahead to the Best in the West vs Best in the East clash between LAFC and the Philadelphia Union this Saturday. Vince gives a scouting report of what to expect from the Union and Max is back on the call with Jordan Harvey on KCOP13. Then, it's time to let our guest loose. Danny Musovski sits down with the guys to talk about getting love from the fans, what it takes to be a finisher, his relationship with Chicho Arango, and more.

We're talking about home in this week's 'In Touch with Steve Cherundolo.' But first, LAFC returned from Cincinnati with all three points and again it was a substitute with the game-winner. Steve talks about LAFC's thought process when it comes to in-game management and what Danny Musovski brings to the team. Then, it's on to our theme. LAFC will have 5 of 7 matches at home in May (lafc.com/tickets) and Steve recently purchased a new home, so what better time to talk about home? Vince asks Steve his must-haves in a home, who's the cook in the family, what's a family game night like, and much more.
Vince is back. Max is away. But never fear, Jordan Harvey is back as well. "Mr. LAFC" as Vince likes to call him is filling in for Max this week. Vince makes up for lost time by covering not one, but two LAFC wins. The guys talk about the 5-1 win over Orange County SC in the Open Cup. LAFC found a way to shake up their slow starts with some incisive moves early against OCSC and run out as comfortable winners. Jordan and Vince break down how LAFC broke the press and finished off a variety of chances, plus we talk about everyone getting involved in the win. After that, it's off to Cincinnati. This time, we're diving deep into the slow start talk by breaking down exactly what the team and coaching staff mean by a slow start. Jordan shares what Steve's approach is to halftime talks. And the guys talk about how LAFC is finding success with game-changing substitutes thus far in 2022. Then it's back to the MVP... the Mahala + Vince Podcast. Mahala replaces Jordan to finish the show. Vince asks Mahala about the season he's having coming off a long injury and we learn about a hobby that Mahala has picked up in his spare time. All that and more on the latest edition of Inside LAFC: The Max + Vince Podcast.

LAFC hits the road once again, this time it's off to Cincinnati, the home of Skyline Chili. Steve is quizzed on his knowledge of regional foods across the country and asked if he'd give them a try.

There's no time to rest around here. After a 3-1 victory over Sporting KC this past weekend, LAFC embarks on a new journey in 2022. The U.S. Open Cup returns to the Banc this Wednesday.

Nobody likes to lose. But in football, dealing with adversity is part of the job for any professional. This week, Vince La Rosa asks Steve Cherundolo about dealing with setbacks and how he processes losses, especially emotional ones like this past weekend at the Galaxy. Steve shares his philosophy on getting back on track after a loss and praises the work of his team and supporters on the day. After that, it's on to our theme. There's no getting around how that late decision made us all feel - Steve included. So, we asked the LAFC head coach about things that leave a bad taste in your mouth, both literally and figuratively. Consider this a list of Steve's least favorite things.
Still thinking about the result from the weekend? Yeah, us too! But we've got a great guest in midfielder Ilie Sanchez to put it all into perspective. First, Max and Vince share their thoughts on the crucial refereeing decisions in the match. While the guys appreciate PRO's explanation, it doesn't make the pain any better. Vince tells us why it's not the technical details of the decision as much as the inconsistency through the match that bugs him. Max does his best to parse all the rules and still isn't sure they got it right. Either way, the result is what it is and the guys get on with it by talking about the actual match. Did we learn more about LAFC of the Galaxy from this match? We have thoughts. Then it's time to look ahead. LAFC is back at home against Sporting KC and also has a date in the US Open Cup against a familiar opponent. Finally, it's time to bring on Ilie Sanchez to get an inside perspective of the Galaxy match. Ilie shares how desperate he was to get the first win at Dignity Health Sports Park, how he felt the game model worked but the team was unlucky, and why LAFC and fans have to forget this result until July.
We're clad head-to-toe in Black & Gold this week. But before we talk about that, we have to take stock of a wild win in Orlando. Steve continues to pull all the right levers with four different goalscorers in a 4-2 victory over Orlando City. After our brief chat on the road win, all eyes are on the Clasico Angelino against the Galaxy. And while Steve will be talking about that plenty this week, Vince has some rivalry questions of his own. Steve remembers a tense derby from his Hannover days before ranking USA vs Mexico in the pantheon of the Top 5 world rivalries. Then it's time to find out where Steve stands on some of the biggest rivalries in sports and pop culture, as Vince makes Steve pick sides and make some tough choices.
It's a big week. That means a big guest for the Max + Vince Podcast. Fresh off helping the U.S. Men's National Team qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and helping LAFC stay undefeated with a 4-2 win in Orlando, Kellyn Acosta joins the show. But before we bring on Kellyn to talk about qualifying and to look ahead to the weekend, Max & Vince have a review of the Orlando City match. It wasn't perfect but LAFC found a way to secure all three points. Max & Vince share their thoughts on the win with a look ahead to LAFC's trip to Carson. Will this be there first time we see Chicharito and Carlos Vela on the pitch at the same time? We talk about the excitement that is brewing around this match. But we're also going to give you our picks for the players that will influence this match that aren't Vela or Chicharito. Then it's time for our guest to join us. Kellyn tells us about the emotions of getting the USMNT back to the World Cup, how he deals with pressure, what it's like to play in the biggest rivalries, and we briefly chat about his favorite snack. All that and more on a new episode of the Max + Vince Podcast... don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!

The international break is over and we're back with another episode of "In Touch with Steve Cherundolo" after a brief hiatus. This week, Vince La Rosa asks Steve what he was up to while the team was off last week. Then, with no match to review, it's straight to our theme for the episode. In honor of the 94th Academy Awards, we're doing our own version of the Oscars with Steve. The LAFC head coach has said movies have been an important part of his life. So, we gave him a chance to talk about some of his favorites across all genres.
