Best World Cup Moment by an LAFC Player? | World Cup Crazy Wall Finale

Darren and Vince wrap up our third and final World Cup Crazy Wall, thanks to our partnership with @YouTube #ad | Give us your pick in the comments!

Travis' dispatches from his globe-spanning investigation of the #FIFAWorldCup archives lead us into a debate to determine the best World Cup moment involving an LAFC player, past or present. We recap earlier picks like Carlos Vela’s 2018 penalty, Son Heung-min’s 2018 goals (including the chaotic long-ball finish vs Germany), Gareth Bale’s 2022 penalty with Walker Zimmerman’s tackle, Steven Beitashour’s non-playing spot on Iran’s 2014 roster, and Giorgio Chiellini’s infamous 2014 bite by Luis Suárez. We also consider Stephen Eustáquio’s pre-World Cup banger for Canada, then focus on France’s 2018 champions Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud.
