LAFC Season Pass S03/E01: 2021 Season Opener Preview: Next Stop Austin F.C.
Off the field, 2020 was a year of trauma, turmoil and unmitigated disaster for most of the human race. On the field for Los Angeles Football Club, season three was a year of growth, development, and a hell of a run through the CONCACAF Champions League. The club had less turnover this offseason than in previous years, so 2021 represents an opportunity to see what the current unit (which does feature some new faces) can do in a more traditional season.
First up for LAFC in 2021 is a second consecutive home opener that welcomes a new team to Major League Soccer. LAFC won its own inaugural match in Seattle against the Sounders in 2018, defeated the defending western conference champions in Sporting Kansas City at home in 2019 and won last season's home opener against Inter Miami CF in their first ever league match. Now, LAFC will look to make it 4-4 in season openers as they welcome Austin F.C. to Banc of California Stadium.
Alright, alright, alright.
Writers at Large Alex Dwyer and Ryan Wallerson, alongside in-house tactician Pierce Maher, have hit the ground running ahead of the 2021 season. Before the home opener against Austin FC ignites the new season, our trio looks back on the good bad and ugly of 2020 and examine the state of the team ahead of the start of 2021 campaign on Saturday, April 17th at the Banc.
