And while Atlanta United was not exactly playing up to top-tier standards, the Galaxy still showed some glimpses of what they might be able to do down the stretch. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 2-0 victory and get into some details surrounding the game, both on and off the field. Josh and Kevin start with Greg Vanney's choice of starting lineups. That included a Galaxy debut for Gaston Brugman, and starts for Chase Gasper and Eriq Zavaleta. And while those were question marks at the beginning of the game, they all worked well. What can Brugman bring to the table for the Galaxy? What does a distributing six look like down the road? And are the Galaxy still looking to add one more p

So will Atlanta United cause as many problems as the San Jose Earthquakes for LA? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's continued fall from grace. They'll talk about the "Stupid Tax" the club has been paying with all of their transfers and why ghost teams probably aren't in place to get another signing across the line. But what do we make of Gaston Brugman? Will he be an answer of sorts that fixes some of the issues the Galaxy have? Plus, who would be your Penalty Kick takers in a winner-take-all shootout? Would you let Chicharito take one of them? What about Jonathan Bond? Josh and Eric also want to talk about points totals and why there might be a low number this year for getting into the playoff

And then Derrick Williams told Spectrum that guys aren't listening to the coaching staff. So that means there's a big problem in the locker room, right? Maybe not. Let's discuss. Host Josh Guesman is joined by LA Galaxy beat reporter Damian Calhoun (LA Daily News / SoCal News Group) to discuss the Galaxy's loss to the Rapids and why the organization's dysfunction is showing its teeth right now. Josh and Damian want to focus on the Galaxy's Designated Players and why Chicharito, Douglas Costa, and Kevin Cabral have been more misses than hits. What does that mean for the last 14 games of the season? And is there a way to the playoffs during this final s

But why the genuine lack of confidence in the defense? And can the Galaxy get their mojo back in the Mile-High City? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night. And why there seems to be a pattern of "softness" on defense. Can the Galaxy and Greg Vanney make adjustments? Why did Douglas Costa impress in his second-half performance, and why did Kevin Cabral's first assist of the season still leave everyone questioning his finishing? Plus, did Efrain Alvarez's bleached hair lead to another sub-par performance? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the first-half collaps

And did the two-forward set do everything and more for the LA Galaxy? On today's show, we've got a packed schedule. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira have 120 minutes of Galaxy-talk on the way for you because there was only one show this week, thanks to some weird game schedules. So on a Wednesday night, we bring you all the hectic Galaxy news you need to know. The guys will start by talking to TheStriker.com's Managing Editor Phil West about how that subscription-based service is coming to Los Angeles. And why they think LA is the perfect place to expand their coverage outside of Texas. Then Josh and Eric want to break down the 4-4-2 and talk about the 4-0 win over Montreal. How did Javier Hernandez and Dejan Joveljic play togeth

A 25th-minute red card to Kevin Cabral threw the game- already 1-0 to the visitors- into even greater disarray. But could some positives come out of a second half that was reminiscent of some of the better performances the Galaxy have had this year? Is scoring two goals while down a man enough of a gut check for this team? And has Greg Vanney already lost the team? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and special guest host Nikki Kay (SpectrumSN sports/sideline reporter) want to talk about this wild Galaxy game. Josh and Nikki will start by reminding everyone that the transfer window is open, and Nikki will tell you what Vanney is expecting from a new

Even if you still believe this is a good team, it's not always easy to see. And there are plenty of ways you could take the highs and the lows. So with a forced weekend off, it almost feels like the Galaxy got worse by not playing. Although with the loss to USL side Sacramento Republic still hanging over their heads, maybe it was good to get a short break. On today's show, host Josh Guesman (Kevin Baxter is away in Qatar doing World Cup prep) is talking about all the moves around the LA area and why Galaxy fans are tough to please. Josh will update you on quotes from Greg Vanney at training today, tell you why the Galaxy seem more set on two players now in this upcoming window, and why Vanney really wants a defensive midfielder. But do

After surviving the Portland Timbers, surely an energized Galaxy side would be able to handle a lower division Sacramento Republic side. Not so fast. In fact, really slow and plodding. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the many ways the Galaxy failed to meet the intensity of a US Open Cup game that was played just about as perfectly as you could have hoped by USL side Sacramento Republic. What did Greg Vanney see on the night, and why are several players who may have just played themselves out of playing time down the stretch? And what did the loss reveal about the Galaxy's summer needs? Will they be going for a Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)? And should you be worried about them finding the ri

He's a former United States Men's National Team player, has played in Belgium, and is confident this LA Galaxy is a good team -- that still needs to get a lot better. On Friday, June 17, 2022, Josh Guesman packed up the podcast studio and drove up to Dignity Health Sports Park for a 45-minute interview with Galaxy Midfielder Sacha Kljestan. Together, Josh and Sacha will talk about Sacha's rise to a professional soccer player, the differences in mentality between US and European soccer players, and why he took a massive pay cut to stay in Los Angeles and with the Galaxy. And just in case you're expecting someone like Sacha to tell you that giving back that much mone

They had to battle for a draw against a Portland Timbers side that pressed all the right buttons, they have to get ready for a Sacramento Republic team that wants to prove they're MLS ready, and then they'll travel to take on San Jose in the Cali-Clasico. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman (LA Galaxy beat writer) and Kevin Baxter (LA Times Soccer Reporter) discuss the Galaxy's battle against the Timbers and why head coach Greg Vanney probably didn't see the game the same way you did. What did fans make of the combination of Dejan Joevljic and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez? And why was the midfield once again at the center of the post-game discussion? Is the 3-5-2 the solution to everyone's problems? But does that also mean the Galaxy need a central attac

So you should probably start saving your money now! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the LA Galaxy and all the worldwide news Major League Soccer is making. Quite honestly, this show isn't short! Josh and Eric will start by discussing Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium winning the right to host some World Cup games in 2026 with a small surprise that it's now less than four years away. In fact, the World Cup would be upon us already if it wasn't going to be held this winter. The guys also want to talk about some strange marketing that the Galaxy are doing while welcoming country superstar Carrie Underwood to the sho... Will the Galaxy use that Carry Underwood money for a CAM? Let's discuss. But the bulk of the show wil

And that means the podcast has to gear up for another game week. So as the Galaxy slowly work their way toward their match with the Portland Timbers, we want to get you out of this international break. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to tie up any loose ends and finally put his extended break to bed. The guys will start with some more observations on the Galaxy's win over Austin FC and why Dejan Joveljic is practically screaming at Greg Vanney to let him start. What do the stats say about Joveljic's scoring prowess in recent games? And does that mean more minutes for the Galaxy's chess-minded striker? Josh and Kevin will also dive into some updates on the Galaxy's group of internationals and why

And now, Josh is back. The LA Galaxy, however, are still on an international break. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira get you caught up on their thoughts ranging from the come-from-behind win against Austin FC and some International Break musings as well. First, Josh wants to update Eric on his vacation. Or maybe we should call it a "work trip." How big was the snake? And how tired is Josh? Then Josh wants to get his thoughts on the win over Austin- a game that feels like it was months ago- and why Greg Vanney got it all right or wrong. And either way, it probably doesn't matter. Because Dejan Joveljic is on fire, and he could be the weapon that gets the Galaxy to the postseason. Plus, what does it say that the Galaxy's mo

Maybe you shouldn't be. And maybe you should be. After all, the LA Galaxy dominated LAFC like no other team they've played all year. It was the total performance from start to finish and significantly raised the bar as to what you should expect from this team. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 victory over LAFC and why there are standout performances across the board. Why did Raheem Edwards cement himself as an El Trafico legend after this game? Why did Kevin Cabral finally find everything clicking? And why was Sam Grandsir Josh's man of the match? We've got 60+ minutes of Galaxy-talk that will cover the broadcast details of the game and why it was called from Florida, and why Joe Tutino was even inv

First, it was Dallas who hung three goals on the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. And on Sunday, it was Houston's turn to take the Galaxy for three goals. So what's the problem? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter have a long free-flowing discussion about the Galaxy's struggles against Houston and why it doesn't seem to matter the lineup. The Galaxy have a chance creating problem that only appears to be solved with Victory Vazquez on the field. And then they have a finishing problem as well. The guys want to dive into the rotated lineup and why Dejan Joveljic was one of the better players on the field for LA. And why Efrain Alvarez is causing all sorts of issues for Greg Vanney. Plus, why does Vanney thin

But what changed in the second half that made the Galaxy the better team? On today's show, host Josh Guesman is here to talk some Galaxy, and MLS Soccer School is in session. Josh will start by diving into the 1-1 draw with Minnesota United on Wednesday night and talk about a lineup with Douglas Costa, Sam Grandsir, and Kevin Cabral should have been more dangerous. And where did Costa go in the first half, and why was he so much better in the second half? The offense also showed its first signs of life in a couple of games. Can that be attributed to Victor Vazquez and Sacha Kljestan? Or is that about Cabral and Rayan Raveloson leaving the field? But unles

With long lines to get into the stadium in both the parking lot and entrance gates, the LA Galaxy were already burning goodwill. But to come out flat against a Dallas side that was intent on destroying you and having no reaction? That's not how playoff teams are made. And it's not how Champions react. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to break down the loss to Dallas. And even when the defense gives up three goals, the main focus will be on the offense. Because the Galaxy have proven to be a good defensive team, but they haven't proven to be a good offensive team. Josh and Kevin will talk about Boxing's big day at Dignity Health Sports Park and why the

Or is it part of the magic of the cup - surviving these early rounds to get to the games that actually matter? And what happens when a US Open Cup midweek game in May just became the most crucial game of the month for the Galaxy? We're telling you why a US Open Cup El Trafico will be the biggest game in the country. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to get you ready for FC Dallas this weekend. But in order to do that, they'll need to tell you about the victory over California United Strikers and about the wacky Open Cup draw that now sees the Galaxy just four games from a trophy.

Or do they make teams play ugly because they're a formidable defensive challenge? Coming off of a 1-0 victory over one of Major League Soccer's top-ranked offenses, the Galaxy are creating their own defensive identity. And that means things aren't always going to look so pretty. But does that mean you can't be concerned about the offense? Because you probably should be. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's win over Austin against a team that hadn't been beaten at home all year. What do the 19 points from 10 games mean? And do you feel like there's some sustainability to the defensive record? Josh and Kevin will discuss the faltering Galaxy offense and why Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, Douglas Costa, Efrain Alvar

Hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the newest addition to the roster and discuss the positional flexibility the "pure left-back" brings to a Galaxy team that needs depth at the position. Plus, what did Greg Vanney say about Jorge Villafana and the recovery he's still trying to make? The news on that front isn't good. Josh and Christian will also talk about the Galaxy's slow play over the last three games and forecast that it will have to end against their Sunday opponents, Austin FC. What will the Galaxy likely do and not do against the highest-scoring offense in the league? And will this be a perfect game for the G
