HIGHLIGHTS: LAFC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | October 28, 2023 

It’s the Stone Cold Stunner... hence the music playing in the stadium

He's now out for the next game with a neck injury. The doctors actually say it could be career-ending.

Thanks google 👍

Cap

yeah im so confused. how do the reigning champs have a half empty stadium

Blame MLS for this stupid 3 game format. I'm really sick of MLS trying to Americanize an international sport. Those that are into football, baseball, and basketball don't give a crap about soccer. Just do it home and away with an aggregate score like every other country in the world!

@@carlosc6165haven’t been watching mls due to their dumb rules, what is this 3 game thing? Every playoff is gonna be best out of 3 games?

​@@jrsanti382only the first round is best out of three. No aggregate score, first team to win two matches advances.

@@jrsanti382 It's a bit of an experiment ... after the "wild card" round (which is just a normal elimination round between the 2 worst teams in each conference, that somehow scraped into the playoffs) ... there then follows this "best-of-3" round 1 In "round 1", there are no ties - or aggregate scores ... one team must win every game. So there's a penalty shootout after every game, if the scores are tied. It's 3 games, like NBA (7 games) - but if either team wins the first two games, they advance After that, the format is simple elimination, with the best regular season team being the host. I'm willing to give it a chance - it might be a good idea. I've just watched LAFC hammer Vancouver 5-2 (very entertaining!) ... normally, that would mean Vancouver would have no chance of coming back, if it was done like Home/Away aggregate score (such as in Champions League). But now, they can dust themselves off and try again at home. Interesting. Actually - I've now worked it out. .... Last night, Vancouver lost 5 - 2 against LA FC. In a simple Home/Away aggregate score scenario - that would be the end of the contest - no need to be bothered watching the next game But with this format, Vancouver can brush themselves down and have every chance of getting a 0-0 draw on their own ground, and then winning on penalties - sending the contest back to LA for the final game. I hope that makes sense :)

😢😢😢

LAFC fans are like children

Shut up Meg! White got owned at the end of the game lol

​@@toottoot3410tell that to prem fans

Defending champions!

MLS has changed - you're right. It now has 30 teams (including San Diego, that will be joining in 2 years) It began in 1996 with only 8 teams ... usually playing on NFL pitches in front of nearly 1000 people (lol) Now - nearly every one of the 30 teams plays in a purpose-built, beautiful, soccer stadium, in front of a jam-packed 20000 people, at least. Those that don't - like Atlanta and Seattle - boast crowds that rival the same as their NFL teams that play on the same ground (like 60 000) Portland Timbers had to do some construction work, so that they could get more people into their ground due to high demand! MLS used to be a retirement home for international footballers long since past their best ... No longer. Anybody who sees the MLS as a retirement home is in for a surprise! Instead, it's got extremely talented young players that get played every week in front of 10000+ people - who then excel, and get bought by elite european teams. (Almiron - darling of Newcastle Utd - for example) Finally Messi ... Why did the GOAT choose to play for Inter Miami? - who were bottom of the MLS - rather than sign up for a Saudi-Arabian team for twice as much money? Because, as ex-MLS veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovich says "you should protect your legacy" ... that's how much he values MLS David Beckham, one of the most famous MLS players, spent years of effort persuading the politicians in Miami to build a stadium - eventually, he got his way ... because he's clearly in love with MLS It's an incredible story - I could go on, but I'll stop now ...

@@jazzx251 Yh I have seen the Saudi the European buy are brilliant but it’s not helping the rest of the teams in the league cuz the crowd attendance hasn’t risen unless it’s Ronaldo playing or the 2 other teams. But the average mls team has nice crowd even without mls. It’s growing alright Thx for the history

@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 Gracias Tyrone! :)

@@jazzx251you sound ignorant and lying lol 😂

Low attendance for a playoff game, I feel

@@augustliberty3683still the atmosphere is great though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Totally agree with you, 2-legged ties need to be returned. Because even though LAFC won 5-2, Whitecaps can win the next game by ANY scoreline rather than win by 4 goals in a 2-legged tie.

I’m new to watching soccer and I have seen this argument against the best of three format. With the two leg format you’re talking about wouldn’t it incentivize LAFC to just stack their Defense to make sure Vancouver can’t get a goal next game. That sounds awful. Then what if Vancouver when’s the next game 2 to 0 but still loses? Wouldn’t that seem odd on the broadcast a team wins tonight, but actually they lose because they had an off game last game.

wtf that's so ass. even if vancouver is leading 1-0 in the 2nd game they can just sit their ass back and just defend the entire game. Instead of having to chase a 3rd goal just to tie things up. Where's the excitement in that? having an aggregate score means teams that are behind are forced to attack and score goals to catch up or take the lead.

Yea but what you are saying is exactly what LAFC could do in game two. No reason to win the game, they just have to maintain the point gap established last game. So they just defend from the beginning

​@@rickygonzalez3152Champions League play 2 games at home and away and only the final played 1 game

If LAFC win the second game. Will there be a 3rd game ?

⁠@@brohdez8857no 😂

2 cards ? lol

LAFC or KFC same shite, different pile.

Lafc fan, lets not sing victory just yet theres still another game vancouver can comeback

@@LilCesar310 nah 5-2 in one game. it might just be wraps. with lafc's form and confidence

It’s definitely over, Brown and Blackmon can’t even keep up fitness or speed wise with LA’s strikers . That’s ok though, Vancouvers owners are more than happy to see another first round playoff exit with minimal dime spent.

I know right, like las angiline were the better team tonight.

@@LilCesar310Bruh y'all won 5-2 its over

It's best of 3 series. Some fans are saving money for a potential game 3 if LAFC don't win in Vancouver.

​@@MichaelWalker-wu2pqI also think the playoff schedule fucked people over, no notice until very recently on when the game will be

Back to Chivas USA days 😂

Chivas 0-4 Tigers there you go

Scheduling sucks

No, he really is that bad

Ehh white's celebration initiated it. It happens more often then you think

You’re embarrassing, crying because they flipped off the Vancouver player who was looking for a reaction and got it. 🤡

If that offends you you should see what they do in Europe or South America

yea it’s best if 3, how it should be

3 game, think of it like baseball playoffs

There’s no aggregate at all. All that matters is a win

@@boristrinajstic3040 what happens if the game is tied in the 2nd game? does lafc win? and what happens if all 3 games end tied? or are there no ties in this format?

@@emikomina no ties man. One team must win. If the score is tied they go straight to penalties. I’m not sure why extra time is skipped unlike UEFA games

Nope lafc on top

@@GHOSTKILL123 stl will embarass yall...if you even make it that far

St Louis better get ready then. This is playoff time!

Same team that got humbled by America 🤣 right

@@Huna98 I like STL this season but don't get too big for your new boots :) LFC & LAFC. ⚽

🥱

a finger makes you very sad jfc what a baby

a liga mx team didn’t even win league cup bro

Y al Nashville y Filadelfia ganándole al Monterrey en la Leagues Cup donde me los dejás?

@@kazakhbrick5411 ya el Monterrey tenia muchas bajas importantes y con muchos kilometros de viaje encima y Los amarillos tenian equipo completo y descansados sin viajar y a un solo partido de locales ya es mucha ventaja para ganar pero si hubiera sido a 2 partidos el Monterrey le mete 4 goles a los amarillos en Mexico 🇲🇽 y el marcador global seria un 4 a 2 avanzando Monterrey

@@spoiled_Milk36 la leguaje cup tiene muchas facilidades y ventajas para los equipos de la MLS nomas asi pueden ganar copas y aun asi perdieron casi 20 partidos con equipos de la liga MX 🇲🇽

no one cares

They don't do relegation in America, and we have playoffs decide the champion,
