LAFC on the Brink: Sonny’s Slump, Bouanga Questions & the Cruz Azul Test

Celso Oliveira and Eric Hultstrom break down LAFC’s flat draw in Austin, the small traveling supporters’ presence, and the online fallout after the match. We analyze Sonny and Denis Bouanga’s recent struggles, MDS substitution choices and bench management, plus the club’s outstanding defensive run and Lloris clean sheets. Looking ahead, the episode previews a tough stretch — Orlando, Cruz Azul (CCL), Portland, San Jose and Colorado — and asks whether LAFC can regroup over the break and prove what kind of team they are.
