We talk LAFC, LA Galaxy and Angel City with LA Times writer Kevin Baxter, and ACFC’s Gisele Thompson tells us whether she feels playoff-bound after gritty draws at KC and Seattle, how Interim Head Coach Leif Smerud has steadied the ship, what her perfect two days in LA look like, and how she feels about her role with the USWNT. As always, we also cover the Empire Strykers and Orange County SC.
