And we go again.
The residual emotions from the loss in the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday are still very real. But less than 48 hours later, LAFC faces a new challenge.
There are no two ways about it. This trip to Houston to face the Dynamo on Friday is inconvenient, to say the least. LAFC turn around from a physically and emotionally draining quarterfinal to play its fourth match in 10 days. Even if the Black & Gold had been victorious against Portland, the quick turnaround of this Houston trip is a major hurdle to overcome before the teams even take the pitch. And that's without mentioning the impending weather emergency headed for the Gulf Coast.
It's a challenge on nearly every front for LAFC, a test of the Club's depth, conditioning, and mental toughness in the most extreme circumstances. Here is the preview of LAFC's trip to face the Houston Dynamo on Friday:
