The first round of the playoffs in upon us, but Los Angeles Football Club (21-9-4)is enjoying its first round bye and watching this weekend's games from home. The first playoff game at the Banc will be Thursday, 18 days after decision day. Does the long break do more good or bad for a team?
International Duty is done and the team is whole ahead of Thursday's match. Defender Walker Zimmerman's positive prognosis after his injury in the finale and forward Adama Diomande's return to the team after a month away for personal reasons are both big boosts for LAFC, but the hamstring injury midfielder Mark Anthony Kaye while with Canada is a cause for concern.
Ryan Wallerson of the Southern California News Group (Daily News), Alex Dwyer of MLSsoccer.com & special guest host Bob Carlson of KCRW Public Radio discuss how the long break between the regular season finale and LAFC's first playoff game on Thursday could affect the team, news surrounding LAFC's international players, and debate which team LAFC would prefer to face between Minnesota United and the Los Angeles Galaxy.
