But they'll need two more wins like that, and some help, if they're going to even think about the postseason. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's win over Real Salt Lake, what changes Kinnear made, and how Giancarlo "Pipo" Gonzalez turned in his best performance in a Galaxy kit. Josh and Kevin will start the show with their observations about the starting lineup, what it looked like to have Kinnear and Jovan Kirovski on the bench, and why a small tweak ended up with a Man of the Match award to Gonzalez. The guys will also discuss the play of Julian Araujo, David Bingham, Emiliano Insua, Perry Kitchen, Cristian Pavon, and Yony Gonzalez. Did Kinnear find a starting lineup that is more predictable than the rest? And what

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- Guillermo Barros Schelotto has been fired by the LA Galaxy. It was probably a necessary step for a team that has struggled with any positive momentum throughout the Covid-affected year. So with Dominic Kinnear in charge of the Galaxy for the time being -- his second stint as interim head coach -- how did we get to this point once again? On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira dive into the timeline of events that led to Schelotto's sacking on Thursday afternoon. The guys start with some weird injury announcement from Chicharito. Was his Instagram post out of line? And how many conspiracy theories can the guys come up with when it comes to the $15-million man? Then it's off to discuss the Galaxy's abysmal loss to the Portland Timbers. Did Dennis te Kloese know that he was going to have to fire Schelotto after the game? And w

But with a terrible call from the officials, and some horrible defending from Giancarlo "Pipo" Gonzalez, it was at least an interesting night for the club. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss some of the issues surrounding this club's nose-dive to the bottom of the standings and what can still be done for this team. Do you feel optimistic? Then Kevin has a unicorn to sell you. The guys will start with the VAR debacle at Banc of California that could have cost the Galaxy a point. Has VAR jumped the shark? Are officials even allowed to use their eyes? And how can you link a boundary call with an offside call and illustrate precisely what is wrong with what they're asking VAR to do? Then, Josh and Kevin will tell you why teams are lying to

What follows is our very poor version of a debate that will cover a wide range of topics and discussion points. Your hosts for the day are Josh Guesman, Eric Vieira, and Larry Morgan (Sophie couldn't make it -- she was afraid of the mute buttons). The guys will tackle some tough questions and get you answers that you may not like. Additionally, all three of our hosts will help you get ready for the LAFC game on Sunday. Josh will start by introducing our candidates and laying some of the ground rules. Then, it's a free-for-all when we invoke the name of Bruce Arena more than 3,000 times, tell lies about secret Twitter accounts, love letters to Joao Pedro, and question fore

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- Coming off a horrible loss to in-state rivals, the San Jose Earthquakes, the LA Galaxy are struggling to keep their heads above water in a Western Conference that they should be competitive in. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's options going forward and what they saw in a non-competitive match against the 'Quakes. First, the guys will start by breaking down a new lineup, a new formation, and some new problems as Guillermo Barros Schelotto rolled out changes that didn't last long. They'll discuss Johnathan Klinsmann's first MLS start in goal and why this might be the only time a goalkeeper receives praise while still allowing four goals on the night. Plus, what was Schelotto's idea behind starting in a 4-4-2 lineup, and what caused the empty bucket scenario that the new formation thrown out in the f

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's problems with trying to reschedule that match and why Major League Soccer might have to blow up the Rapids' season to keep everything else fair! Plus, could the playoffs be decided by a team that hasn't played four or five of their 23 games? And what if the league chooses to implement points-per-game as the way to settle this? Do the Galaxy stand a chance? The guys dive into all the different issues with the Rapids and their coronavirus outbreak and why a big decision isn't coming soon. Plus, with Jonathan dos Santos and Rolf Feltscher away on international duty, and COVID-19 taking hold of some national teams, did MLS an

Why do the Galaxy suck? And why is Guillermo Barros Schelotto not putting players into positions to succeed? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter, discuss the Galaxy's loss to the San Jose Earthquakes and why the club continues to fail across all levels of the team. The guys will discuss the field conditions, Chicharito's ineffectiveness, and why GBS is back on the hot seat. Plus, Josh and Kevin will discuss the International call-ups for Jonathan dos Santos and Rolf Feltscher and why the Galaxy may have let both players go to their respective national teams when they didn't need to. Then, they'll discuss the Galaxy's trip to Colorado and why Galaxy fans traveling to the Mile-High City need to stay home

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy lost to the Seattle Sounders on Sunday night, and that extended their losing streak to three games. There were plenty of bad games from multiple players. But the stark reality is that the club is showing who they are. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's losing streak and dig into some of the individual performances and tactics that didn't go the Galaxy's way. After all, it's not often the goalscorer has a bad game. And what's wrong with the club's energy? Why do they continue to start so slow? Josh and Kevin also look back at the historical setting that has the Galaxy struggling under Guillermo Barros Schelotto but showing some serious turnover since 2017. Did Chicharito have a better game than you expected? Are the Galaxy running away from things that were more successful during the winn

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy took their first loss on the road in 2020, and it was another ugly game in a string of ugly games. But will the loss to Real Salt Lake shape this team for the rest of the season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou will ponder all the most significant questions surrounding the Galaxy, without solving any issues. Josh and Sophie will start with a look back at the Galaxy's game in Utah, and what each perceives as the problem. Are you patient? Do you think you're seeing a work-in-progress with the club right now? Or do you think we've seen the best of the Galaxy and it's just not good enough? Sophie goes studs-up on Chicharito and, for her, gets to the heart of the problem surrounding the Galaxy's millionaire Designated Player. He's not interested in playing. Can you pin any of the problems the Galaxy have had on Chicharito? Should he be making a bigger impact on the field? Is he already the biggest b

But some uncomfortable travel, for a game with fans in the stadium, might be what the doctor ordered. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter are discussing all things Ted! That could mean talking about the game and referee Ted Unkel's controversial decisions, or it could be gushing over TV's best show, Ted Lasso. Either way, there's a lot of Ted to talk about. First, the guys will dissect the Galaxy's 2-0 loss to the Rapids and tell you why there was plenty of blame to go around. The Galaxy's midfield has been underperforming, and when Javier "Chicharito" Herandez and Jonathan dos Santos came into the game, nothing happened. Are the Galaxy's designated players missing that mental edge? And has Cristian Pavon struggled be

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will face a more formidable challenge than you probably expected from the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night.

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are discussing the Galaxy's weekend matchup with the Rapids and covering Galaxy news, and some interesting rumors -- even if they don't seem to represent reality. First, the guys will talk about a new tenant to Dignity Health Sports Park and why the field might be in danger of being a little worn down. Are you okay with another football team calling Carson their home? Josh and Eric will then transition into an interesting rumor that has the Galaxy ready to move up in the allocation order. Could that allocation order have something to do with a story about Deandre Yedlin? And why would the Galaxy go after a player that would push another new acquisition o

But it was far from the worst result!

And we'll even tell you why the Galaxy almost didn't make it out of San Jose! With their winning-streak squashed, the Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to six games. Meaning they have lost a game since their 6-2 MLS is Back defeat to LAFC. Since then, the Galaxy have shutout their noisy neighbors twice and just concluded their third clean sheet of the season. But what are the big takeaways from a team that looked far from perfect against an undermanned Earthquakes side? Why did Cristian Pavon struggle? And why could Efrain Alvarez re

But this game means so much more than just another win. So there's a lot to discuss!

And what about the goalkeeping position? Is there cause for worry?

On Wednesday night, games across the NBA, MLB, WNBA, and MLS halted as players boycotted their participation in the events. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman, Eric Vieira, and special guest Chris Tucker from the Riot Squadcast will talk about the ramifications for MLS and whether or not we should see games played this weekend.
