It was a banner day for MLS, putting two of the marquee franchises in the league on display in front of over 82,000 in Pasadena. It was a banner day for Carson, as they dredged up the ghosts of seasons past to revel in what once was at their old stomping grounds. It was a banner day for The 3252, as their performance amongst an MLS-record attendance crowd was something every single supporter of LAFC should be proud of. 

But as you will hear here on Episode 263, unfortunately, it was not a banner day for the Black and Gold on the pitch, as we fell to Carson, 2-1, behind goals from Boyd and Puig. 

Also on this episode, we learn a little about Twizzle, we pop our Rose Bowl Press Box cherry, and we (likely) say goodbye to Jose Cifuentes. The transfer window is open, everyone! For the next two weeks, it's silly season in the rumor mill, and we are all about it. But don't worry, we've also got three more matches in the span of just 11 days before our much-needed time off before Leagues Cup. Enjoy Episode 263!
