And on Sunday, with New York City FC marching into the stadium, they'll know that everything they do until October has real-world ramifications for how they finish the season. So are they ready? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter detail the Galaxy's 2-2 draw with DC United and why they probably put themselves in a position to have to pick someone who was just waiting in the wings. Josh will start by going over what he saw from the press box with the Galaxy's "disjointed" play against DC United. He'll talk about the team's best strength -- counter-attacking -- and why Greg Vanney is pinning the entire success of the season on the Galaxy's weakest point, their defense. So what have the Galaxy done to make their defense be

And we've got some major LA Galaxy storylines that need to be discussed! On today's show, host Josh Guesman is flying solo while battling a cold and updating you on all the Galaxy news that has happened and everything you need to know that's coming up. Josh will start by getting you through the Galaxy's "City of Dreams" kit and ask, "why are we naming kits?" Do you think the name adds something to the release? And is this more than just a plain white design with some colors? And is there anything wrong with that? And are the Galaxy calling Josh fat? But our host will then dive into the Galaxy's first pre-season loss and try to figure out why Julian Araujo isn't playing starting team minutes? Is Greg Vanney really pla

And how big could this get? BIG! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter dig into the Galaxy's final "Goalchella" game while also exploring how the club will play in 2022 and what they're still missing. Is one of those things Douglas Costa? Josh will tell you about his trip to the Coachella Valley and why he was surprised by the location, the facilities, and the weather. Plus, he's letting you know just how big this preseason tournament could get. Will AEG pull off one of the biggest spring-training-like attention grabs in MLS history? And what do music and food have to do with soccer? But Josh and Kevin will also discuss how the Galaxy played against the New York Red Bul

No, it's not Monday. It's Thursday, and maybe for the first time, we've got the Panda on a Thursday night. You can tell how confused he is just by the opening minutes! Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the big Thursday the Galaxy just had on today's show. There's plenty of Galaxy news to discuss, there's plenty still to discuss when it comes to the signing of Douglas Costa, and the guys will even talk about some of the news that's going around the league. Like which MLS coach just said his team was "screwed?" Josh and Kevin will start talking about the Galaxy's draw with the Seattle Sounders at the Coachella Valley Invitational. But because the game wasn't streamed, they invited Soccer America's (and other freelance soccer

Of course, we are! It's what we do! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and, filling in for Kevin Baxter, who was in Ontario at the Fury game (but still calls in), is Christian Miles. Josh and Christian start by talking about the gamble the Galaxy are making with Costa and why we're all naturally wired to suggest this wasn't the most innovative way to spend $5-million (reportedly). But Josh will put on his aviation hat and tell you why a single picture of Costa can tell you the type of plane he's flying and where his plane is going. Also, what time you could expect him to land in Los Angeles. Then the guys dive into the preseason scrimmage that saw the Galaxy score four times and outplay the

Will the Galaxy be able to match up to one of the best teams in MLS last season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou want to get you caught up on a busy Thursday. They've got a surprise preseason game to update you on, they'll talk about the Douglas Costa rumors that should cross the line on Monday, and they'll get you ready for what should be an electrifying season from Julian Araujo. First, Josh and Sophie talk about how the preseason doesn't matter. Then Josh will tell you how he's keeping track of goal scorers in the preseason to counter that whole "it doesn't matter" thin

So when are Douglas Costa and Cristian Pavon headed to Los Angeles? Let's press pause on that duo... at least for a bit longer. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to get you all the latest Galaxy news. And surprisingly, there's a lot to digest. Josh and Kevin will start by updating you on the Galaxy's preseason roster and why there's one very interesting name. Who is trailing with the club? And what does a lack of international spots mean for some players? And the whole reason the Galaxy released their roster was that they played a closed-door preseason game on Saturday and came away victorious. Did Greg Vanney end up playing some defense? And why does the prese

This is how this season is going to go, isn't it? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Viera are back to discuss the Galaxy's focus on an injury-prone Brazilian struggling to cut it in the second division of Brazil. Do the Galaxy think they have found an overlooked diamond in the rough? And are they going for it hard? The guys discuss the risks and rewards of Douglas Costa and why he's going to have to find a way to convince Galaxy fans he wants to make a difference in LA. Plus, could a short-term contract make more sense even if it is worth close to $5-million? Josh and Eric also discuss 2022's plain-white-t and why the replica unearthed in London is probably pretty close to the actual design that is coming out. Will you buy it? Finally, the guys discuss

But with holes remaining in this lineup, can Greg Vanney and the rest of the front office find the ambition and foresight to land a game-changing signing? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Larry Morgan (Kevin Baxter is on assignment following the USMNT) discuss the Galaxy's most recent moves and why some of the rumors might not be leading in the direction everyone thinks they're going to. The guys will start by talking about the addition of Mike Muñoz in a position that will oversee the LA Galaxy Academy and probably LA Galaxy II. What expectations does he have, and will the Galaxy maintain the momentum that the previous administration started? Then Josh and Larry will get the details right o

So are you buying where he thinks the team is at? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicholaou are here to talk about all the Galaxy news that dropped since Tuesday morning and why the club still isn't impressing the Cannon! Josh and Sophie will start with some housekeeping as they tell you about the Galaxy's newest goalkeeper and why he really doesn't fit the mold the club usually uses when getting a third-string 'keeper. Plus, was signing Victor Vazquez smart? Or was it a waste of an international slot? Then Josh will update you on the Marky Delgado trade and why Galaxy fans will hate him. But the numb

But does it all feel anticlimactic? Is the team generating any buzz in a crucial offseason? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the team's current state and why this 2022 season has gotten off to a fizzle. Plus, are the Galaxy getting beat to the punch on players they wanted to add to the team? Has the appeal of the winningest franchise in MLS history slowly eroded? The guys discuss what they saw from the Galaxy's opening day at training and why there was a veteran and rookie who garnered the spotlight in the infamous beep test. Would you have guessed who came out on top? And what does that mean? The guys will also discuss the Galaxy's lack of movement this offseason on the player front

But the story of the draft was their first-round draft pick. And on today's show, Farai Mutatu will stay up well past his bedtime to call into the podcast to talk to us. Host Josh Guesman welcomes Mutatu to the Galaxy fans on the west coast just as the former Michigan State player prepares to wing across the country and land in Los Angeles -- a place he's only been once before. Mutatu will tell you about his journey to getting drafted by the Galaxy and what he thinks he can bring to a Galaxy team who can always use a guy who doesn't know how to give up. After the phone call, Josh will talk about the Galaxy's other draft picks and why the club probably passed on their final

Why would it be different? And what is the club doing in Brazil? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to update you on what could be another slow week for the club. But with a Saturday reporting date, are things about to heat up? Or is the calmness telling? Perhaps MLS is just in a position it's never been in before with a winter World Cup later this year? Josh and Kevin will start by explaining some of the dynamics behind a World Cup that is actually lining up in the league's favor. Does that mean some big moves could take place in the lead-up to the biggest sporting event in the world? And is MLS primed to capitalize? The guys will then debate

So let's dive into our second show of the year to talk about Kelvin Leerdam and what's next for the club. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are interested in getting you ready for a preseason that now has some times and dates associated with it. And can we tell you when the Galaxy will make their way to Goal-Chella? Josh and Eric start with the preseason schedule with the Galaxy playing three games at Dignity Health Sports Park -- two in front of crowds -- and sandwiching a trip to the desert in between. And are the Empire Polo Grounds set up to handle a soccer tournament? Yes, absolutely! And maybe a little bit of a no. But they're not hosting 60,000 peop

We're kicking off 2022 with a show that is packed with little details and a little bit of breaking news. Are you ready to find out what this preseason will look like? Well, it starts in 12 days. Let that sink in! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's preseason plans and get some of the details on preseason reporting and a new preseason tournament that will take place at the same place Coachella is held. Can you say, "GoalChella?" Yeah, we stole that. Josh and Kevin will start by telling you when the Galaxy will report for physicals and then which date is mandated by the league to begin their preseason. They'll also go into details about a preseason tournament that will kick-off for the first time in 2

But it would be best if you were warned; Sacha Kljestan joins us, and Josh tells a story about seeing Santa Clause. Also, there might be a Galaxy-themed 'Twas the Night before Christmas that debuted on this show about six years ago. But who's counting? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter update you on Galaxy news and talk about what 2021 looked like from the Galaxy perspective. Also, what are we expecting from Greg Vanney and company now that a lot of what Dennis te Kloese did has been wiped from the front office. The guys start with welcoming Sacha Kljestan to the show, where they discuss if he gets tired of being called "old" after every game by the press and why some "mo

Sebastian Lletget has moved to New England, and Sacha Kljestan will stay in LA, but are you getting a warm and fuzzy feeling from the moves? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou are back to get you updated on some very big moves by a Galaxy side that seems to have a plan in mind as they offload players and gather some money in the process. They'll start with the re-signing of Sacha Kljestan, who seems to be a value-added type of player. So what did the Galaxy get with Kljestan? And can they afford to add another name like Victor Vasquez as well? But then Josh and Sophie want to get into the Galaxy's trade with New England for Lletget. Can the Galaxy afford to tru

They moved two players who probably weren't going to make a big splash in 2022 for the club and would have struggled to get playing time. But did they get all they could for them? Or was something else going on? On today's show, host Josh Guesman goes without Kevin Baxter (He's on a boat!) and discusses the Galaxy's trade of Dan Steres and Ethan Zubak. There are a lot of questions that come up when we see the results of these trades, but perhaps there's a good reason the return on these players was less than expected? Josh will start by going over his views of a rather unimpressive MLS Cup. Sure the highlights will show a great game, but the playoff format seems to be the enemy of good soccer. W

With Saturday's MLS Cup inching toward completion, all hell is about to break loose on the trading market inside the league. And that means multiple players from the Galaxy could be gone in a matter of days. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira update you on all the rumors surrounding the Galaxy, break some news, and tell you what to expect as the club wheels and deals in a very compact offseason. Josh and Eric will start with an update on Mike Munoz, LA Galaxy II, and a surprise departure (maybe it's not that surprising) of a coach we thought would stay around. Are significant changes coming to the Academy? Then the guys transition to Sebastian Lletget. They'll

But that doesn't mean the league doesn't have things we need to discuss! And it doesn't mean the LA Galaxy aren't tracking a few rumors from both inside and outside the league. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's silent approach to the offseason so far and why MLS Cup's conclusion should jump-start a very short offseason. Josh and Kevin will start clarifying the Chris Klein rumors and why the Los Angeles World Cup Committee could grab some attention from the Galaxy's President. The guys will then "transfer" over to the Ilie Sanchez rumors and tell you that, while they were fake, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. So should you stay awake at night
