Episode 199 - Gareth Bale Is Coming!!! Vela Re-Signs! (Oh, And We Beat The Red Bulls)

Send us a textIt's Episode 199 and OMG GARETH BALE IS COMING TO LAFC!!! It's not a rumor, it's not a wish, it's not a hope... it's a reality. Gareth Bale, the Gareth Bale of the bicycle kick in the Champions League, the Gareth Bale of 5 Champions League titles, 4 Club World Cup titles, 3 UEFA Super League titles, and 3 La Liga titles, the Gareth Bale who almost singlehandedly willed Wales to the World Cup, is coming to LAFC. And not like Kylian Mbappe came to watch an LAFC. He's going to play for the Black and Gold!Aaaaaaand... Carlos Vela has re-signed for LAFC through 2023. The Captain is Black and gold for at least another full year!Oh, and we also beat the New York Red Bulls at the Banc. After a so-so first half where NYRB actually outplayed LAFC a bit, LAFC's depth and talent outlasted the club from Harrison. Just past the hour mark, 'Dolo subbed on Chicho Arango and Kellyn Acosta, and almost immediately (3 minutes later), Chicho and Carlos connect for Chicho's 5th goal of the season. Just three more minutes later, after 68 matches in Black and Gold, Chiqui Palacios gets his first goal in Black and Gold, off a solid run and pass from Brian Rodriguez. LAFC celebrated their Pride Match in the best way possible, 3 points against a solid but undermanned Red Bulls club. Before the match, an incredible tifo and a beautiful proposal kicked off the festivities. During the match, Kylian Mbappe was shown to be in attendance. And all throughout the match, visions of Bale, Chiellini, and the DP still to come (who could it be?!) danced through everyone's heads. What a time to be part of the Black and Gold!Our next episode will be 200! 200!!! We are hoping to have some great things for the episode, and we definitely have some fun planned for the next few as well. It's going to be a fun ride this week, just like the first 199 episodes have been! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
