LAFC Double Match Preview: Colorado Away + Portland at BMO (Plus LAFC Unified Team Interview)

Travis and Darren preview LAFC’s two MLS matches this week—at Colorado on Wednesday, Aug. 19 (6:30 PM) and vs Portland at BMO on Saturday, Aug. 22 (7:30 PM), both on Apple TV—while addressing fan anxiety after a 1–0 loss to San Diego, a petition to fire Marc Dos Santos, and concerns about roster construction and DP limitations tied to GAM. They discuss recent signings and injuries, then hear from Vince (sidelined with a back injury) on rotation, altitude, and the need to score early in transition against Colorado, plus the must-win home mindset vs Portland.

The episode features an interview with LAFC’s Special Olympics Unified Team coach Michael McKnight and players Ashley Marin and Kevin Demetrio ahead of their Saturday match vs Portland after the first team!
