LAFC vs FC Dallas Preview: International Break Chaos, Tight Table, and the Texas Curse

Travis and Darren preview LAFC’s road match vs FC Dallas and Travis' new life as a Person With A Shaved Head. Then: despair. LAFC’s thin roster gets worse with Aaron Long suspended and multiple players away on international duty (including Denis Bouanga, Jacob Shaffelburg, and Son Heung-min). We attempt to build a makeshift starting XI, discuss the tightest of Tight Tables, and the deadliest of Texas Curses.
