Then Thursday erupted with a series of deals that have set the LA Galaxy into the preseason. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's moves as they amassed some General Allocation Money and moved some pieces around. So what can we make of it all? The guys will start by discussing Sacha Kljestan's retirement and their peek at the new authentic second kit. There are almost too many words to describe what Kljestan has meant to the MLS and the Galaxy. So will there be a vacuum that needs to be filled? Josh and Eric will then dive into the acquisitions of center-back Chris Mavinga and midfielder Memo Rodriguez. Which of those should you be most excited about? And what questions does Mavinga answer in the backline? Finally, the guys will disc

It sounds like a simple question, but the organization seems confused about the answer. On today's show, host Josh Guesman welcomes back co-host Kevin Baxter. With Kevin away for the World Cup for over a month, it's a great time to catch up and talk about his experiences in one of the strangest world cups. And he'll even explain why it was one of the worst - for him. The guys will dive into the muddy clarity of the Chris Klein situation and why the Galaxy shouldn't be hiding from fans. What does that mean for how they're running the club now? Plus, what's going on in rumor central, and why are center backs the order of the day? Who is coming to LA, and who is on their way to the other team? Will this Free Agent class skip over the Galaxy again? And is this

Are they too convenient? And is one of them just a joke? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss all the latest Galaxy news in their last show before 2023! The guys will start with the newest Galaxy app and why it's already a drastic improvement over its predecessor, and why the club has some history to buck with integrations and everything else. Do the icon logos give us a hint about the second kit? And does eric think of the leaked second kit? Next, the guys talk about pigs and SuperDrafts. Will the Galaxy see either of the two players they drafted on the senior team in 2023? And did passing on the two third-round picks mean anything? Finally, there's a lot of talk surrounding the Galaxy's schedule launch and why MLS is re

So what can we expect from both Jonathans this season? Host Josh Guesman is once again flying solo as we all await Kevin Baxter's triumphant return from Qatar. There's one thing we can guarantee: this show won't be as good as the World Cup you just watched! But we're still in preseason. So we'll grow into it. With the start of camp less than 20 days away, Josh wanted to focus on the Galaxy's re-signing of both Jonathan Bond and Jonathan Klinsmann. One of those guys signed his contract a long time ago. But we get a little bit more detail about Bond and the expectations that come with the new agreement. But will Klinsmann push Bond for the number one spot? Did we see too much regression in Bond's stats? And will the number one spot be more comfort

And you can be our date! On today's show, host Josh Guesman talks about the release of the entire preseason schedule and why that means some good games to watch before the season starts. What does Greg Vanney have in store for this Galaxy team, and when should we expect them to add that big name Designated Player? The answer won't be "the summer." Josh also wants to dive into the last remaining roster-building event of 2022. That's right. It's the not-so-SuperDraft. Does it matter in today's MLS? He'll also get to the affordability of MLS and the Galaxy. Does the club feel like a value when you go? And how does it rank when compared to other leagues? And why will you be able to watch games on FOX this

And how much money did it cost the team, and will it cost the team? On today's show, host Josh Guesman talks about the Galaxy's failed Kevin Cabral project and why the money they spent to call it quits was a significant amount of money. Plus, what's the added part to the deal that will still cost the Galaxy going forward? Josh will dig into the salary cap implications, talk about how this helps to offset the fine MLS levied on the club, and explain why the Galaxy still owes a considerable amount to the league before they can call it all square. What does having an open Designated Player spot mean for the Galaxy heading into their only international window of the year? Josh will also discuss the Galaxy's trip to Vietnam and why

And if both the League and the LA Galaxy thought you would forget about what they said on Friday, Josh is here to tell you he hasn't forgotten. The Galaxy were punished for cheating during the 2019 season when they acquired midfielder Cristian Pavon from Argentine giants Boca Juniors. And with then-head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto and then-General Manager Dennis te Kloese guiding those talks, how did the Galaxy and Chris Klein end up as cheaters? What legacy will Klein or anyone associated with this scandal have? And what short and long-term effects will it have on an organization already fighting for relevance within their own city? Why did the Galaxy make soccer not fun? And what should be the reaction from AEG to this communal mistru

And we might just be helping you plan your annual trip to Coachella with a soccer twist. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are here to talk about more off-season prep. But that also means some pre-season planning. The Galaxy announced when they'd be reporting for pre-season training, and that is just a little over a month away. So does that mean there's time for Cristiano Ronaldo to turn down $200 million a year to play in Saudi Arabia? And will Josh go back on his "now or never" statement about the world superstar? Plus, Landon Donovan has been inducted into the US Soccer Hall of Fame. But two people didn't vote for him. What is wrong with those two people? Final

That's where the World Cup dominates soccer headlines even while Cristiano Ronaldo makes big news on and off the field. On today's show, host Josh Guesman wants to talk about why the LA Galaxy don't have much time to close a move for Ronaldo. It's now or never. And never is a real possibility. But could the Galaxy be that team that balances the East and the West coast? Josh also wants to talk about missing out on some of the things Victor Vazquez does well. And will his pick-up by Toronto mean he's never coming back to LA? Or does it just make it so much harder? And finally, what does a new contract for Johnny Perez mean for the 19-year-old's playing time with the first team? Probably nothing. Josh will explain.

To kick off your Thanksgiving week, we're giving thanks to the one and only AJ DeLaGarza. The LA Galaxy legend announced his retirement last week, and we wanted to get him on the show to relive some old times and find out what's next former defender. Enjoy this week's show, and a big thanks to AJ for making our show what it has become over the years. Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at the show! We'll be back soon!

And this show is anything but short. Some might even call it Long. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the Galaxy's latest roster moves and why this offseason is getting busier and busier. If you want to talk about the AppleTV deal, we've got that for you. If you want to talk about the MLS Expansion Draft or contract options, we've got that too. And if you want to celebrate an absolute LA Galaxy Legend in AJ DeLaGarza, then we definitely have what you need. Josh will cover the contracts that got extended and the surprise "new contract" that will see Jonathan Bond back with the club.

And the LA Galaxy are already out on the trade market, offloading some players. What does this all add up to? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's two trades and who they might target in free agency. What kind of reaction does the Galaxy need to find from the 2023 squad? But Josh and Eric will start by acknowledging the elephant in the room. The Galaxy now play in a league where their rivals are champions of the league. What does that mean to a front office that has seen its grip on Los Angeles fall away? And what needs to happen to right the ship? Was Derrick Williams the answer at Center Back? And did Cameron Dunbar have a shot on the first team? Which young player has a chance at

Do you feel any better about the team? And are they hinting at what decisions they're going to be making in the offseason? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss all the Galaxy's latest news. Would you rather park at the Rose Bowl or Dodger Stadium? And did MLS miss on their Best XI? Can Chicharito make an argument he deserves to be there? Josh and Eric talk about the Galaxy's team awards and why the press got the Defender of the Year wrong. Plus, they talk about depth with Preston Judd and Jalen Neal. Will you see more of them next year on the first team? But the big deep-dive is into Kevin Baxter's article and why the Galaxy are tipping their moves for the offseason. Will Jonathan Bond

Plus, how do you view the 2022 season? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter on today's show discuss the LA Galaxy's loss to LAFC in the second-ever playoff El Trafico. But beyond that, they try and figure out what this season has meant and what the biggest question marks are for the club heading into the offseason. The guys will start by looking back on a wildly entertaining El Trafico, but a game that the Galaxy came up short in because their best players didn't show up. Did LAFC push Riqui Puig to be outside his normal playing zone? Did they isolate Gaston Brugman? And did Douglas Costa show why the Galaxy can't trust him for the 2023 season? Plus, is Kevin Cabral on the trading block? Or will the Galaxy find a way

But are we right when we say this game has that "global feel?" Will everyone be watching highlights around the world after a Playoff El Trafico? On today's special Wednesday edition of Corner of the Galaxy, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the matchup between the LA Galaxy and LAFC in the second-ever playoff El Trafico. The lead-up to the game has been swift. But will all eyes be focused on the biggest MLS game of the season? Josh and Sophie want to talk about all the news items that lead into games like this, and they want to talk about the petty little games each club plays when it comes to an El Trafico. Plus, what does it say that the Galaxy have the most momentum they've ever had going into one of these rivalry games? Does

In a very comfortable performance, LA was able to out-defense the defensive side of Nashville SC and, in turn, make Martin Caceres and Sega Coulibaly stars of the show. On today's podcast, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 1-0 win over Nashville on Saturday while also keeping an eye firmly on the next matchup. That's right. It's another Playoff El Trafico (Don Garber is so happy right now). And the biggest game in all of MLS (we'll keep saying it) gets more significant with the added pressure of the playoffs. The guys will start by discussing the win over Nashville and how the Galaxy's midfield had the match won reasonably early. Did the visitors make a mistake by not trying to match up with the

And the three goals the Galaxy scored could have been more, but the dominance would have continued regardless of how little Houston tried to fight back. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 win over Houston and talk about how much has changed for the club in a very short amount of time. And most of that change can be attributed to two players - Riqui Puig and Gaston Brugman. Josh and Kevin will highlight the critical points in the Galaxy's win over Houston, talk about the incredible season Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez had throughout 34 games, and discuss the difference Puig and Brugman have made in a short time.

And while the Galaxy already have a post-season match waiting for them, where they finish in the Western Conference and who they play are still very much in the air. But we know a win will guarantee a home playoff game, so that's the Galaxy's short-term goal for Sunday. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira get you ready for the game against Houston while educating you on the finer things in life. Like pineapples. Josh and Eric will discuss Luis Suarez, rumors of a 4th Designated Player, Cristiano Ronaldo, and some of the details of the AppleTV deal.
