But they did fight back to earn a draw in a game where a win wouldn't have felt out of place. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the wins, the losses, and the draws of the weekend when it comes to the Galaxy. Josh and Kevin will discuss the protest before the match, the atmosphere inside the stadium, and why neither party probably got exactly what they were looking for out of the game and out of the showing. The guys will also dive into the improved play from the Galaxy and why Tyler Boyd's mere presence was enough to make this team look a lot better. So where do the improvements need to come from? And are you worried about Jonathan Klinsmann replacing Jonathan Bond? Kevin will talk about the wor

And the home opener will be as exciting off the field as it will be on the field. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the upcoming game with the Vancouver Whitecaps. But Vancouver is coming off a CCL game, and the Galaxy are coming off looking horrible through the first two games. Josh and Sophie will discuss MLS Next Pro and why it doesn't have one of them excited. And then they'll discuss the first winger rumors of the offseason. Well, besides Tyler Boyd. Will Ademir impress from Brazil? Will the Galaxy find an undercover winger buried by depth? And is this the type of signing you expect from the club? Plus, your hosts will be joined by the voice of the LA Galaxy, Joe Tutino. J

But was SKC more than a little toothless? And did the Galaxy get any offense going? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter talk about the Galaxy's scoreless draw in Kansas and why there is still some worry that the Galaxy aren't ready for the rest of the season. Josh and Kevin will look at the game with some details and at how Greg Vanney has constructed the team and how they continue to construct the group. Will Lucas Calegari be joining the Galaxyt his week? Will Julian Aude get across the line? And what could the Galaxy lineup look like in a month? Should fans be patient with this deliberate build? Or will the Galaxy lose any goodwill they had by simply not competing in MLS to start the seaso

But they haven't beaten Sporting KC since 2019, and Greg Vanney doesn't have a great record against Peter Vermes. So what does that mean for a rainy Saturday night in Kansas? The almost great club of Cristiano Ronaldo? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the year some movies came out, a movie star they had a crush on, and, oh yeah, the Galaxy! They'll start by talking about some general assessments of the club before heading into the weekend matchup with SKC, and they'll talk about the pieces that everyone expects to arrive. Josh and Sophie will also talk about some Spanish legends making appearances with some Galaxy players (Pau Gasol, Iker Casillas) and why Riqui Puig looks like your kid brother that gets yo

And the LA Galaxy didn't really have an answer. Nor did they have any width or wingers. So why are significant changes expected over the first half of this season? On today's show, host Josh Guesman (Kevin Baxter is on Vacation) talks about the Galaxy's 3-1 loss to Dallas and why there's much to be desired outside of the Galaxy's midfield. Josh will start by breaking down the game into sections. He'll talk about Dejan Joveljic, who scored a goal but was mostly absent on the night, and the defense that looked like they didn't know how to play together. Why was Josh hyped about Jalen Neal and Preston Judd making their MLS debuts? And why could all back four positions be changed around? Could the Galaxy's backline feature three players

The LA Galaxy flew to Dallas on Thursday afternoon at about the same time our scheduled co-host took cover in the Dallas suburbs with the Tornado horns blasting. But we're reasonably certain they're actually going to play soccer on Saturday night. And that means the season starts now... for reals this time. Host Josh Guesman (who is alone because everyone else is busy) updates you on all the LA Galaxy news. And some of it is complicated by MLS' wonderful rules. Josh will talk about Riqui Puig becoming a Designated Player and why that seems more optics than anything else. Are the Galaxy more flexible because of the move? Or did they turn a Young DP slot into a Max TAM slot? Josh will hopefully explain it all without your head exploding. Josh will also

And that meant the LA Galaxy didn't play in their season opener at the Rose Bowl. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to entertain you for an hour, even if that means going another show with any soccer to analyze. Does the rescheduled game work out better for the Galaxy? Could they have played Saturday night? And was canceling the game and moving it to July 4th the best option? Plus, the Galaxy got Lucas Calegari across the line on Monday. What does the right back bring to the Galaxy, and why is the club eyeing 1-2 big moves before the transfer window is closed? Finally, the guys discuss Julian Araujo playing with the Barcelona first team and why it probably doesn't mean much. Except, maybe it does? We've got a great podcast

And no, LA Galaxy fans, you're not alone. Everyone in the league is talking about the Galaxy. On today's epic 2023 start-of-season show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are going to talk through all the news, all the rumors, and all the game preview information that you need to know before you head out to the game on Saturday -- whether that's at the bar or the stadium. Josh and Eric will discuss number changes, AppleTV, Lucas Calegari, Uri Rosell, the weather, Karate Kid, boycotts, Riqui Puig's jacket, and the El Trafico to start the season. It's a nearly 2-hour podcast with all the little details you need. Do you like the kits adidas put out in 2023? Do you want to know the playoff format and why the best-of-three series doesn't have us excited?

They announced one signing and seem to have another on the way to replace Julian Araujo. But what does that mean for this weekend? And why isn't the sky falling? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss all the Galaxy news that has happened in the last seven days. And they want to start to get you ready for the Rose Bowl. They'll start with the official word on Julian Araujo going to Barcelona and why some players get it when it comes to the fans. Will we ever see Araujo again? Probably. Josh and Kevin will discuss the jersey release and the unveiling event in downtown LA. Was the location right? And what did they get wrong about an event that should have been a way to connect with fans? Josh will update you on rumors and expla

And that's more important in the preseason. But which player made their big debut despite not officially being signed by the club? Hosts Josh Guesman (Kevin is on an airport run for this episode. But he'll be back next week) talks about his trip to the desert and why Coachella has so much potential as a soccer destination. But he'll also dive into how the event was set up and all the Galaxy news you can handle. Josh will get you all the details on the Galaxy's 4-1 loss to the Portland Timbers and why Memo Rodriguez, Douglas Costa, Efrain Alvarez, and Tyler Boyd all made some positive impressions. But the defense still needs some work. Josh will also discuss and talk about what Greg

And the bottom line is that he's not a Galaxy player anymore. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the next steps for Araujo and why it's really the worst of scenarios for all parties. Will Araujo go to Barcelona to train for the next five months? Can he be loaned back to LA? And what would that mean for his U-22 spot? The guys will also talk about the subtraction of Carlos Harvey and the additions of Tyler Boyd and Eriq Zavaleta. Will we get an official announcement on Boyd before Sunday's match with the Portland Timbers? And if you were the Galaxy, what would you do on your day off in the desert? Would you drink a Coors Lite? Finally, what happened in the 4-1 win over St Louis on Wednesday? And why was it an important game f

So does a 28-year-old former US Men's National Team fit the bill? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter are back to talk about the first real test of the boycott, the Galaxy's loss to New York City, and why Jalen Neal seems to be the biggest takeaway from the preseason. The guys will start by giving you an update on the Rose Bowl game that is now 19 days away (as we recorded) and why it seems unlikely, the Galaxy will have a completed team before then. So what does it say about the Galaxy and Greg Vanney's mindset heading into an El Trafico that could have more than 70,000 people there? Josh and Kevin will then talk about the preseason game with a lot of action outside the stadium and some good l

But this time, it's because a computer error caused an 18-second delay that's keeping Julian Araujo in between clubs. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss all the Galaxy news that has made this week more entertaining than it should have been. And to make it even better, Alex Ruiz from The Striker joins the guys to talk training and dish about what plans the Galaxy have for signing some players. The guys will start with the Araujo situation. It would almost be funny if it didn't have the future aspirations of an up-and-coming youngster on the line. Will Araujo be allowed to go to Barcelona? And when will FIFA make its decision? Alex gives us all the updates from training and why almost everything the Gal

And with the internet in full rebellion mode, you'll have to forgive us for being so frustrated. And maybe the LA Galaxy are frustrated too? After all, it doesn't seem likely that Greg Vanney or the club saw the way things would be going just 26 days from kick-off. Are the Galaxy ready to lose Julian Araujo plus Efrain Alvarez? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter react to the latest rumors involving Galaxy players. And they pretend like no signings are ever going to be made. Surely this isn't the team that will face off against the reigning MLS Cup Champions on February 25th in one of the largest games MLS has ever held? So what pieces are the LA Galaxy missing? And why is Isco another sign that things aren't going

But are things about to heat up? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the latest in LA Galaxy news. And to help them out, they'll be joined by Damian Calhoun from the LA Daily News to talk about what Galaxy head coach and sporting director Greg Vanney had to say about the club's hunt for wingers and when he expects the camp to start getting real. Damian will talk about Vanney's responses about Chris Mavinga and why Sega Coulibaly has some big roster news to share. Plus, another update on Ferrai Mutatu? The guys will also update you on the scrimmage against DC United, the international friendly that saw Dejan Joveljic go against Jalen Neal, and who was on the sand in socks? We've got a lot of things to talk about, there's some boycot

Even if it's for personal reasons, is it time to worry about how they'll find replacements in a very short amount of time? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to discuss the bind that the Galaxy now find them in and try and hammer out several strategies the Galaxy could use to get what they want. But does Samuel Grandsir's departure mean Douglas Costa is staying? And can you trust Costa to be a 34-game player in 2023? Plus, why are the Galaxy eyeing 2024 while all of this is happening? Josh and Kevin will also talk about Leagues Cup and why all the teams will probably take it seriously. We've got a solid show for you on a Monday night, and we're delighted you could join us!

And today, we're trying to find out what was said in the room where it happened. Joining Josh Guesman on CoG's 1000th show is LA Riot Squad President Andrew Alesana. Andrew will talk about how the idea for the boycott came about and why they think now is the right time to push AEG on the subject. Andrew will also discuss what went on during the 2.5-hour meeting between the Supporter Group Leadership and the LA Galaxy and the next steps. He'll even answer what he thinks about fans who choose not to participate in the boycott. Then Josh will talk about rumors surrounding Julian Araujo, Samuel Grandsir, and the callups of Jalen Neal and Markus Ferkranus. Quite honestly, it's the perfect show to discuss the Galaxy, as they're quickly running out of day

And there were a lot of takeaways to discuss. Plus, have you heard about a boycott? AEG has its hands full on this one. And they probably can't blame anyone else but themselves. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman (LA Galaxy Beat Reporter) and Kevin Baxter (LA Times Soccer Reporter) discuss all the latest club news and why Dejan Joveljic is only half the man he was last year. We'll explain. The guys will discuss all the news nuggets Greg Vanney dropped in his media availability. That includes discussions about Douglas Costa and Sam Grandsir. Could both be gone? Could both be back? Why did Vanney have some strong words about Costa and wanting to play in Los Angeles? Could the Galaxy be relying on Jalen Neal on defense? Maybe they're foc

And then the news dropped, during the show, that Chris Klein would be back with the club for the 2023 season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou get sidetracked in the middle of their usual run down with breaking news from Kevin Baxter and the LA Times that Klein would return after suspension. So all the talk about AppleTV and what that deal will now entail might seem a little less important when you go back and listen to the show. The conversation about announcers and what MLS teams are required to produce for the League Pass "verticals" might seem trivial. But at the time, we didn't know we'd be interrupting the show with breaking news. Hear from Baxter about Klein and his most recent talk with Greg

So why was social media abuzz with Chris Klein mentions today? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's status ahead of their first day on the field. Kevin calls in from MLS Media Day and talks about the sudden pull-back of Julian Araujo. There's also the most in-depth talk about Chris Klein's current status and why lawyers are involved. Does this mean a resolution to the problem is near? Or is speculation just too dangerous at this point? Plus, Josh and Kevin want to discuss Greg Vanney's management style and why Douglas Costa could be more at home in Brazil. I mean it makes sense? So should you be expecting a new Designated Playe
