Description

With the Coronavirus quarantine in full effect and the Belarusian Premier League having finished for the day, the good people over at LAFC Gaming knew just how to get 17,600 members of the Black and Gold faithful hyped for soccer: RemiMartinn. eMLS’s number 5 ranked competitor was set to take the sticks against FC Dallas’s gamer, i9ibbs, in the second FIFA20 Charity Challenge. Still riding the euphoric wave of his epic defeat of Carson last week, Remi showed up and showed out yet again, taking down Dallas in the second match, 4-0, en route to a 1-2-0 showing and a 7-3 aggregate thrashing of i9ibbs. No dramatics needed from Carlos Vela in this one, though he did notch another hat trick. Goals by Dio and Blessing bookended a beautiful chip by Diego Rossi, and Remi bagged another series victory.  Great commentary from Max and Rogo and excellent production value made for a very enjoyable time, but it left the boys asking one question: Where is Gigi?  Episode 91 also asks the question, “What were you doing in ‘91?” Were you watching Jordan’s Bulls take home their first chip? Cheering Leeds United as they won the last championship before the start of the Premier League? Doing the wave at Dodger Stadium as Darryl Strawberry took the field for the Boys in Blue? Heck, Major League Soccer was still 5 years away! The Defenders also talk about the rumor mill, as the familiar names of Rossi and Atuesta make their rounds on the gossip circuit. And what about our #1 spot on the Allocation Rankings List? Could someone the caliber of Alphonso Davies, Deandre Yedlin, or Sebastian Giovinco really be heading to LAFC? No, but it’s fun to look at the list!  The boys enjoy their usual banter as Filly laments his Knicks, Scarf beams over Bryce Duke getting his homework in on time, and the two continue to work on their website. (It’s coming soon, we promise!) Happy birthday, Devo! Just nine episodes from hitting triple digits, and we start to wonder, will the quarantine be over in time to celebrate #100 with the millions (and millions) of Defenders fans? We hope so, but just in case it isn’t, we will still be here offering you a bit of a distraction in these trying times. We love you all! Now go wash your hands and #StayHome!
