I'll be honest, it feels a little bit bit bittersweet because, like, I wasn't directly involved with LAFC for this year. So, like, I was more with the Vegas program. Yeah. So, like, part of me is, like, I love that we won, but then part of me was like, I want more. So like obviously that's my focus, but it feels great to be a champion. |

What a fucking game to be. you were there at that stadium how of, bro, even like, even my mom's not too crazy into soccer, but she was going crazy too. It was a wild-ass fucking game. Yeah, it's crazy because usually like finals are sometimes boring. Yeah, they're usually boring. Because both teams are so reserved. Yeah. They're like not even pushing up a lot everyone's kind of playing |
| 2:01.0 | defensive but I don't know this game was like now we're we're both going all out it was crazy |
| 2:06.0 | like so obviously we scored first oh stable crazy all you see is people throwing beer everything and |
| 2:12.6 | but thankfully we sit on the top so like we were we were fine from the beer. Yeah, yeah. So that happened. |
| 2:17.9 | But then obviously, as the game went on or whatever, when they scored, when they tied it up and we scored again or however it went, I don't remember how it went. Yeah. But whenever they took the lead, the stadium was quiet. Really? Yeah. It was just silence. People started leaving. So I actually, i came with um and you guys know |
