The 3252, Soccer and Maybe More...

"Annnnnd we're back at The Banc in Black" looololol the Max Bretos famous line. Well. We are back home and the media excitement has given me fucking anxiety from how much LAFC and Rich hyped up this game. This game had a lot of anticipation because both club and supporters did not have their best possible performances in Leon hahaha. Remember we couldn't get our shit together in the stands, so man were we fucking ready to lose our shits. We had a very short pregame, mid week game, we showed up at like 4:30ish and was in the stadium by 5:30... two hours before kickoff. During the pregame we chilled, hung out, caught up with people we haven't seen since last season and meeting up with friends we made in Leon... and drank beer. We chanted a bit to get the vocals loose but nothing too crazy, honestly a lot more quiet and calm than usual and it kinda gave me even more anxiety ha. Side note. We had Purple Sheets on every seat, and some had white ones AND every

The Concacaf Champions League is a tournament made out of the champions out of the North and Central American soccer leagues. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the easiest way to explain it and we're moving on.... So we've known since about October that LAFC had qualified to this tournament and we knew we had our first International match in the near future, but the question and stress was... who will LAFC have to face. These matches have an Home and Away games so where will we go? Mexico City to face America? or Costa Rica to face Saprissa???  We were all just hoping for a sick place. I was hoping we didn't have to face Alianza from El Salvador, because I have zero intentions to go back to my family's motherland ha. This is going to sound like a flex but I promise it isn't, it's just how it played out. But we were on vacation with the CCL draw happened to know who was facing who. The draw was going to happen at about 6pm LA time

August 24th, 2018. MLS Rivalry Week. So first year LAFC is in the league, there was 3 matched vs Carson. Away, Home and Away. The could have been one more Home match... in the playoffs but Carson failed to make the playoffs loooolololol. Sick way to stand up for your place in the city losers! LAFC lost in the first round tho, rough. So this match was important, because this was my first time going back to that stadium as a rival. I was fucking STOKED. Listen, I've seen the Galaxy win a title a few times there and been to playoff games and everything, trust me it doesn't get that loud. I was ready to help takeover that stadium. This was a fucking crazy day. The week of the game me, Eva and Juan (oh, these foos) decided, "fuck it we are going to this game." The game at The Banc had some trouble and altercations so we were a little worried it could get ugly. But we weren't going to miss another away game. We were watching tickets all week and last minute J

The Los Angeles Football Club comes home Will I still be a loner? Most likely Anxious? Yes Nervous? Yes Sick? Yes Overwhelmed? Yes Well. Let me start to with... this was on my sister's bday and I only have one sibling. Her husband, my brother-in-law, my FIFA opponent for the past 17 years... is a Galaxy fan and was hurt by my switch. Hahaha My LAFC start was on fire. LFG. Sunday April 29th 2020, LAFC and the 3252 get their first ever home match and I am fucking losing it. By this point one other friend decided to get season tickets for the North End with some of my peer pressure... and till this day made it only to two NE matches, gave me his ticket every match and eventually gave up his season tickets for normal seats somewhere in the stadium (he also missed the home opener) So since they were playing Seattle, I invited a Seattle hater aka a Timber's fan aka my old roommate to the North End with me. I made it a thing to match sure we were early enough to check

Maybe off-topic Maybe definitely on topic But there is nothing that represents Los Angeles like Kobe Bryant. This Sunday, 1/26/2020 Los Angeles was struct with the biggest heartbreak in our history. The morning after LAFC 2-0 win in their Season 3 opener for a preseason match against Uruguay's Peñarol... I can't explain how amazing that evening was to be back with the 3252 and all the homies I didn't see during preseason. As I am lying here in bed watching Manchester United destroy this weak team on tv and trust me this means a lot because United sucks so much, they needed that confidence. In this very chill morning before getting up to go play in my Sunday league I get a text that simply says "Damn Kobe Died" I sat up and froze for a bit, not sure if it was a few seconds or a few minutes I just did not know how to feel or what to think. I jumped on Twitter and just tweeted No. Way. Then scrolled through Twitter and saw that Kobe had died in a helico

New Stadium Opens... end of April? Season starts... early March? Ok, now what? So. The Banc (the stadium) was not going to be ready until the 7th game of the season. Making the home opener April 29th, 2018... but the season started March 3rd and the first SIX games were going to be played AWAY, ugh. It was a weird time for my LAFC transition because other than my homie that helped me get my season tickets I didn't personally know anyone that was a fan so it was just me and my tv. I didn't even post much on social media, I didn't want to get judged by anyone for the switch... but here some of the memorable loner moments I spent watching this tem travel around. The first match was against the 2017 Runners up, Seattle Sounders. I've had this realization a few times and I'll keep mentioning every time I come across a moment... but the weekend this match happened, I thought 'holy shit, this is going to be bigger than anticipated" The build up from all th
