Good Morning Los Angeles! We have ourselves an NWSL jersey reveal day today and #AngelCityFC just dropped their 2025 secondary jersey. Dubbed "Los Angeles", the kit features a mix of iconic landmarks and symbolism showcasing the city ACFC call home. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/angel-city-f...

Good Morning Los Angeles! It may not have been the blowout many had expected to see, but #LAFC did just enough last night to advance in the Concacaf Champions Cup. A former rival turns hero, in 1-0 win over Colorado Rapids. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/lafc-1-color...

And breathe........again! It isn't pretty, but #LAFC advance in the Concacaf Champions Cup where they will get another crack at Columbus Crew. The win also makes it two wins and two clean sheets at home as they remain unbeaten in BMO, early in the 2025 campaign. #LAFCvCOL

A second goal would be ideal, not just to double the lead for this match, but to help protect in the aggregate. Would mean any potential late Rapid goal is extra time, not advancing. Either that or defend for your lives the next next 15 minutes, but that sounds less fun. #LAFCvCOL

From enemies to friends, Mark Delgado with his first goal for #LAFC, giving them the lead and the spot in the next round!

And breathe..... scoreless end to the first half. #LAFC had a few chances in the first half, but couldn't find the back of the net. As it stands, Colorado will advance. Need to see more from LAFC in the second half if they want to advance. #LAFCvCOL

Okay #LAFC fam, just under an hour until kickoff in the second leg of the Champions Cup. We know the record LAFC have against the Rapids when in Los Angeles. Need that trend to continue to avoid an early exit. How are we feeling?!

Good Morning Los Angeles! "Really, we just need to go out and play our game, playing at home, in front of our fans, is where we want to be." #LAFC defender Ryan Hollingshead is confident ahead of tonight's Champions Cup second leg, despite the goal deficit. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/lafc-champio...

Good morning Los Angeles! #LAFC kicked off the 2025 MLS regular season campaign with a win, making it 8 straight home opening wins for the black & gold. This one, was a bit of a grind with a rotated squad, but left BMO with three points secured. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/lafc-1-minne...

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY 2025 SEASON LOS ANGELES! #LAFC kick off the 2025 MLS regular season campaign in just a few hours! It will be a long road, and while the team aren't focused on the destination, they do know the expectations. Trophies, plural. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/lafc-season-...

Good Morning Los Angeles! While one season begins, another is just under a month away! Today, we continue our #AngelCityFC player postmortem series as we take a look at midfielder Madison Hammond! A player one the doorstep of being one of the best DMs in NWSL. angelsonparade.com/angel-city-f...

Good morning Los Angeles. #LAFC fell in their first match of the 2025 campaign. A loss to open the Concacaf Champions Cup journey, but not all is lost. With LA hosting the second leg, away goal secured, and just a goal behind, they still control their fate. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/colorado-rap...

Far from perfect, BUT... Down just a goal going back to Los Angeles, away goal in hand, next match wont (hopefully) be in sub zero weather.

Aaron Long with the first goal of 2025 for #LAFC! Going back to Los Angeles only down a goal would be massive, and still time to really cause some chaos.

Can we get a petition going to not play Colorado until the cold and snow are gone?!

Halftime Thoughts: - It looks really cold - Attack looks like its just some improved timing away from opening up - Midfield could use some inspiration in the second half - It looks really cold #COLvLAFC

General consensus: - No massive expectations with this being the first match of the season and on the road. - Ugly wins are still wins - Just come out of this match with no injuries Here's to expecting nothing, hoping for the best, and seeing a healthy squad at the end, Amen πŸ™

Just about three hours until #LAFC kick off the new season, in the first round of the Concacaf Champions Cup. How are we feeling fam?! Won't bother asking about expectations as we know what those are, but thoughts on the squad? What do you want to see tonight? Let us know!

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY MATCH DAY LOS ANGELES! #LAFC kick off the 2025 campaign with a road trip to take on Colorado Rapids, in round one of the Concacaf Champions Cup. The team have a singular focus coming into the tournament this time around, win it all. angelsonparade.com/concacaf-cha...

Good Morning Los Angeles! We keep it going as we hit the final stretch of our #LAFC Player Postmortem series. Today, we take a look at midfielder Ilie SΓ‘nchez, who had a great final season in Los Angeles. A player that grew into a proper leader at the club. πŸ”—πŸ“° angelsonparade.com/lafc-2024-pl...

Big day for the non-roster invitees, midfielder Scottie Antonucci just scored the winner with a banger from the top of the box after a forced dispossession put ACFC on the counter. They open up preseason with a 2-1 win over Portland Thorns!

Lily Nabet with the first Angel City goal! The midfielder climbed the ladder and slammed home a header from the corner ball sent in by Julie Dufour.

Christen Press preseason appearance has never hit this hard!

First half thoughts: - Claire Emslie and Kennedy Fuller already in mid-season form, which is lovely to see. - Riley Tiernan (Non-Roster Invitee) has looked phenomenal in these early stages. - While midfield can see improvement, it looks to be headed in the right direction. Your thoughts?

A bit surprised we are seeing such a heavy dose of Thompson sisters considering SheBelieves coming up, but they have looked really good so far. Still scoreless through 25'

Okay #AngelCityFC fam, we know it's just preseason match one, but we want to know, what are you hoping to see from the team today? What are you hoping to see going into the 2025 season? LET US KNOW!
