While the competition is strong, LAFC is firmly in a position to repeat last year’s Championship-winning heroics. But, their path only gets tougher from here. In their Conference Semi-Final encounter against the Seattle Sounders, it was a competitive matchup.
Eventually, LA would hold on to their one-goal lead that they got via a Denis Bouanga beauty in the 30th minute. Led by 2019 MVP Carlos Vela, the team is ready to repeat as champions. And Magic seems ready as well as he tweeted, “I’m so excited my team LAFC is advancing to the MLS Conference Finals after beating Seattle 1-0!” However, in front of them lies the Cinderella story of the Houston Dynamos.
I?m so excited my team @LAFC is advancing to the MLS Conference Finals after beating Seattle 1-0!

A few bright spots for the Washington Commanders?
Despite the team starting off the season in less than ideal fashion, the Commanders fans do have a few things going for them. Due to the incorporation of former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Beiniemy, the offense for Washington has been solid to spectacular.
More importantly, it has given new life to QB Sam Howell, who is having one of the best statistical years of any quarterback in the league. With the new ownership firmly aiming towards contention, the foundational pieces are already being planted.
