And what can the LA Galaxy do with any confidence they gained in the Cali-Clasico? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to discuss the Galaxy's win over the Sounders in the Open Cup and why you should take some positives from the victory. But more importnatly, did the Galaxy learn something about how they want to play in 2023? The guys will discuss the formations and personnel that made the win possible. And they talk about why the Galaxy even needed the a-team lineup in the Open Cup. Plus, the youth heads to the U-20 World Cup, and the Galaxy are targeting new fans with a complicated marketing strategy. And did Chris Mavinga throw Greg Vanney under the bus? Finally, how confident are you that the Galaxy can get a win against a San Jose side that is 4th in the Western Conference and just coming off a win over LAFC? Let's get to it!

But when the LA Galaxy lost to Kevin Cabral and the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, the only thing positive was that it probably couldn't get any worse. Hosts Josh Guesmand and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 loss to Colorado and its ramifications for the Sporting Director Greg Vanney and a recently-back-from-suspension President Chris Klein. Is it time for the Galaxy to make a change? Do they throw away the work done in the front office? And who gets to decide to fire Vanney? Would going through another coach fix things this time? Plus, Josh and Kevin will discuss the Galaxy's mindset going into an Open Cup game against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday. Let's get to it!

And it's another injury that will put the Designated Player out for the next month. Does that help the Galaxy establish a rhythm? On today's show, the infirmed Eric Vieira takes the night off as Josh Guesman does another surprise solo show -- we promise he tried to get another host in. Josh will start with Hollywood pricing for LA Galaxy II as they prepare to host Wrexham in what should be a star-studded event. But with what seems like outrageous ticket prices, is this game for Galaxy fans? Or is it a cash grab for Wrexham? And is that okay if the Galaxy are getting a share of that as well? And will you be surprised by the level of play? Josh will then talk about the Galaxy ranking near the bottom in Analytics and why that probably doesn't tell the whole story. But it's certainly a story we've been telling for close to seven years. Is there improvement any time soon? But the main crux of the show is listening to Greg Vanney's media availability for this week as the Galaxy prepare for Colorado. Vanney talks about injuries to Costa, Jonathan Bond, and Chris Mavinga and when you can expect those players to return to the team. And there's also some discussion about the U-20 guys and whether they'll be released for the U-20 World Cup. Will Jalen Neal be able to make an appearance? And what about Julian Aude? Finally, Josh will prepare you for Colorado's defense and talk about how both teams are struggling to find goalscorers. Will Kevin Cabral be welcomed back to Dignity Health Sports Park? Will Robin Fraser find a way to unlock the Galaxy's mistake-prone possession? We've got a great show for you tonight -- full of LA Galaxy news and discussion. Thanks for joining us!

Or was it on par with the 2023 LA Galaxy season as a whole? How did you view the loss? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 2-0 loss to Orlando and why some people are ready to put Greg Vanney on the hot seat. So is Vanney to blame for this season? Did Chris Klein handcuff him with decisions from years ago? And can the Galaxy still find a way into the playoffs? Josh and Kevin will talk about Hollywood's team coming to play Hollywood's team and look ahead to the Galaxy's match with the Colorado Rapids this weekend. They'll also discuss Douglas Costa's no good, very bad day and why Vanney could be giving him a chance to play himself off the team. What reception will Costa get when he comes back to Carson? And what reception does Kevin Cabral get when he steps on the field against the Galaxy this weekend? We've got so much to talk about and so much to do! We're delighted you want to join us on today's show!

And this week, it was particularly fever-pitched as the transfer window close quietly, and a Supporters Group vowed to return to LA Galaxy games. On today's show, host Josh Guesman hopefully pressed record on the show and posted the Thursday night show. We can never tell with him. Josh flies solo as he gets you updated on the end of the Transfer Window, Galaxy News, the return to the stadium of Angel City Brigade, and the game against Orlando City. He'll start with the addition of Mauricio Cuevas and tell you why he's another piece in the young player puzzle. Plus, could that mean the return of other former academy products? Then Josh will progress through the dates and times for the Leagues Cup games and the US Open Cup. Plus, tell you why he believes Seatle is as good as any game when it comes to hosting the Open Cup. There will also be talk about how the Galaxy are underperforming against some of their metrics and why that will need to change if there is any hope of a playoff spot. Finally, Josh will dive into the documents and the news surrounding Angel City Brigade's return to the stadium and why the LA Galaxy played this one almost perfectly. Can Humpty Dumpty be put back together again? And what to make of an Orlando team that seems more of a question mark than the Galaxy? Can Vanney find the right guys to fill in for Puig? And will there be two forwards? There's a lot to cover, so why don't you join us?!

And excuse us if we think it's not a big deal. The Galaxy played a sub-par Austin FC side and dominated them for large stretches of the game. On today's show, Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter get you through the end (almost) of the Transfer window and the reinstatement of LA Galaxy President Chris Klein. While also talking about the success of the club against Austin. What did the atmosphere feel like inside the stadium? Why was it so quiet for a Saturday night under the lights? Why open the berm when the stadium was far from sold out? Josh and Kevin will talk about the formation and why Greg Vanney was pleased with the two-forward set he went with on Saturday night. Plus, who is the key to the transforming 4-4-2? And why is Julian Aude and the rest of the youthful back line a really, really surprising and gutsy feature of this Galaxy defense? The guy will cover the moves made by the Galaxy, with Gino Vivi and Mauricio Cuevas being added to the roster. Is this enough of an action to keep Galaxy-faithful satisfied? And when you answer no to that, whose fault is it? Join us for a fun night of transfer deadline news and a lot of Galaxy talk!

That's when they'll take on a struggling Austin FC side at Dignity Health Sports Park. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to argue about Douglas Costa, lament the transfer positions the Galaxy now find themselves in and get you ready for the recycled plastic shirts that will grace every MLS game this weekend. The guys will start by looking at one of the few wins the Galaxy have had in 2023. They'll talk about Tyler Boyd's Goal of the Week, Efrain Alvarez's uneventful trip to play with the Mexican National Team, and dive into Greg Vanney's updates from training today. Are the Galaxy's transfer problems Vanney's problems? And why did the Galaxy wait to get someone across the line? Have they learned things since the first game they didn't know to start the season? And can Douglas Costa play any type of meaningful role on this team? Or is it time to just write him off? Also, is Greg Vanney throwing his hands up with Costa? Josh and Eric will close out the show with a dramatic game preview and all the Austin talk you can handle. What's your prediction for the game? Can you guess better than Eric and Josh?

So what happens at Dignity Health Sports Park that probably has them gunning for Austin? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer Kevin Baxter discuss the loss to LAFC in El Trafico and why a lot of good play was wasted by moments of terrible decision-making and boneheaded mistakes. How much did the injury to Chris Mavinga change the game? Was Sega Coulibaly as bad as he looked? What does a lucky bounce mean for Carlos Vela? And why does Josh think the Galaxy neutralized much of what LAFC does well? Also, what did the stadium sound like, and were LAFC fans taking over the stadium? Is excitement waning in Galaxy Land, even from the non-supporter group fans? Are Greg Vanney and Chris Klein picking a fight with the Supporter Groups? Finally, which Galaxy great does Josh think is overrated? We've got a great show for you that will put a bow on the loss to LAFC and get you pointed in the direction of Austin. Are you ready?

From dueling open letters to a defender put on waivers to a press conference full of context and feelings. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles dive into everything crazy that's happened this week and get you ready for an El Trafico with so many things coming together, there are storylines everywhere, from everything and everyone! The guys will start by wishing everyone a happy Galaxy anniversary. They'll dive into the Chase Gasper waivers and then onto the announcement of Will Misselbrook -- where there's a "Will," there's a way. Josh and Christian will talk about the open letter Chris Klein sent to Season Ticket Members and then the response from the LA Riot Squad President. Did Chicharito try to end the boycott for ACB? Then Greg Vanney went on the rampage about "context" and "trusting the process." Does Vanney have a point? Does three points from six games also have a point? And is Vanney lacking context about what has transpired since before his LA arrival? Finally, the guys will talk about the buzz saw that is the first El Trafico. How many different storylines can you keep track of for this game? And is this the answer for a struggling team - a rivalry match?

But then a bad loss on the road turns into an international embarrassment. And the LA Galaxy's brand erodes even further. Funny that the Galaxy had a real chance at gaining some momentum heading into a lopsided El Trafico without Supporters Groups in the stadium. And now? Is there a response that makes up for two boneheaded plays and two red cards in a game that may have already been decided? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the faults of the Galaxy in the game against Houston and why all the pressure is cooking this club. And they don't seem to be reacting well. Josh and Kevin will give some broad strokes about the 3-0 loss to Houston. Still, it will be a much more comprehensive look at the club, how it's been created in the offseason, and why an incomplete club is still an indictment of a Galaxy side that is dealing with a summer international transfer ban while being overly selective in the primary window. But the loss isn't just their sixth winless game of the season, it's also part of the mounting frustration from inside the locker room. Has Vanney lost the locker room? Who can fire whom? Why is Vanney not on the hot seat right now? And a lot more. We've got a stellar 90-minute show just waiting for you. We'll just call it group therapy.

This time, they'll head back to Texas to take on the Houston Dynamo. Some history is on their side, but does the return of Chicharito make this one a massive game for the Galaxy? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesm and Eric Vieira discuss all the Galaxy news you want to know. They'll prepare you for the big game in Houston and tell you why both seem so positive on the winless Galaxy. Josh and Eric will discuss the rut that Dejan Joveljic is in and why Vanney isn't suffering fools. You either play when you're given a chance or you sit down. So will Preston Judd start taking minutes from Joveljic? Will the Galaxy return to normal when Chicharito returns to play against Houston? And will Julian Aude get to watch his first MLS match with the Galaxy before being thrown into the fire the next week? The guys will also talk about the partnership of Riqui Puig and Gaston Brugman. Are we watching Magic in the Making? Or is all of this way too optimistic for a team that hasn't won a game yet? Josh and Eric will talk about the meeting between the Supporters Groups and the LA Galaxy and why Will Kuntz needs to be in that meeting. Will we wake up to a Friday miracle? Finally, the guys get you ready for a Houston team that isn't playing well despite having two more wins than the Galaxy this season. Is this game all about momentum? We've got a great show for you today, complete with a dramatic game preview. We'll get you ready for kickoff on Saturday! Let's go!

The Saturday afternoon match had plenty of good moments for LA, but Seattle made two first-half goals stand up. Still, there were some excellent moments as Jalen Neal scored his first MLS goal, and Preston Judd forced the offense into a different gear in the second half. But will a botched handball cost Greg Vanney and company some money? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter (away on assignment) get a call from Christian Miles to discuss the Galaxy's loss to Seattle and what we can glean from another no-points performance. Josh and Christian will talk about the progression of Neal and Calegari and why the Galaxy defense has disappointed in spurts but impressed on the whole. They'll also talk about Tyler Boyd's central midfield performance and why the Galaxy playing with two strikers is different only in the "dedicated" strikers part. Plus, did Preston Judd jump over Dejan Joveljic regarding who can play with Chicharito once he returns? Does that sound crazy? There's also a detailed look at the Galaxy's performance compared to years past, the Galaxy righted some wrongs with player-signed jerseys, and the club gets another goalkeeper after Jonathan Klinsmann plays with a broken finger. Why does $150,000 matter less with an international goalkeeper? We've got a bunch to talk about in regards to your Galaxy. So thanks for hanging in there with us, as always!

Seattle hung four on Sporting KC, and Jordan Morris is firing on all cylinders and has double the goals the Galaxy have scored all season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira talk about the lead-up to Seattle and a whole bunch more. The guys will start by looking back on the draw to Portland while discussing the major issues the Galaxy see in the attack. What can Calegari do that Leerdam couldn't? And why is Julian Aude being sought by Italy? Josh and Eric will talk with Steven from AFJA about all the incredible work that the organization does and where all Josh's Pupusa money goes. Finally, the guys are discussing the matchup with Seattle and why there's a lot of history that will probably work against the home team. If this is a clash of styles, who bends in a game where both teams want the ball and love to build up? And with Douglas Costa staying -- Greg Vanney said so -- what can we expect from a leaner, meaner, Bayern-like Costa? If you aren't getting anyone else, can Costa save this team on the offensive side while Chicharito stays getting all pumped up at home? We've got a great show for you on a Thursday night, a Friday morning, a Saturday, or whichever day you choose to listen! As always, thanks for the support!

They didn't get one in Portland. So are we looking at this with an optimistic eye? Are the Galaxy getting better with no wing play? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman covers for a flying Panda. Kevin Baxter is off on assignments. Josh will be joined by Alex Ruiz, the LA Galaxy beat reporter for The Striker, to talk about the Galaxy's 0-0 draw with the Portland Timbers. Alex and Josh will discuss the debut of Calegari, talk about the play of Memo Rodriguez, and tell you why Gaston Brugman has been the best Galaxy player over the last couple of games. But with little to no wing play, can the Galaxy find the guys to make this team complete with just 24 days until the window closes? And will Douglas Costa be back on the field against Seattle? Or is he headed for a buyout? Josh will then break down the Galaxy's first four games on the game tracking charts and tell you why you don't know what kind of team the Galaxy will be from the first four games. But at this point, it could go either way. Hang on for another bumpy internet ride. Your captain has turned on the fasten-seatbelts sign.

Both teams are struggling to find form, but can the Galaxy steal some points? Will Preston Judd be the answer at striker? And will we see the debut of Lucas Calegari? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's latest additions and the struggle they're going to have to get around a Timbers side that hasn't started well either. The guys will discuss the addition of Julia Aude with his deal being finalized. What does Greg Vanney see in the 19/20-year-old, and when could you see him in your favorite Galaxy Colors? Josh and Eric will also look through the Galaxy's upcoming schedule and try to figure out how a tough April will shape up for the club and then prepare you for the road trip that is always a tough sell for LA. Can the Galaxy steal some points? Can Hammer get a game preview ready? Can Josh keep the internet held together? We've got a fun show for you ahead of the Galaxy's yearly trip to Portland.

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 worry heading into the Portland match, as Chicharito and Douglas Costa need to make their return. Do they do it on turf? And finally, the guys look at standings, schedule, and the big news that Will Kuntz has joined the club. What can Kuntz bring to the Galaxy?

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?

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 season? Is this still a matter of getting hot at the right time?

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 you in trouble all the time. Is there a rift with Dejan Joveljic? Your hosts will then talk about Leagues Cup and why the Galaxy and every other team in MLS and Liga Mx will take this tournament seriously while also prepping you for the game on Saturday.

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 under 22? And why would the Galaxy be wise to get that going as soon as possible? Plus, what do the current left-back rumors say about Greg Vanney's trust in Raheem Edwards? And could Edwards be the winger you've been waiting for? We've got a great little show for you today. And we've delighted you could join us!

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 discuss the Galaxy's jersey sales. Are they slipping even when multiple outlets have named them as having the best kit of the season? And why would that be? Your host will also update you on injuries and what exciting things Greg Vanney said in his press conference on Wednesday. Then Josh will take ChatGPT to the next level with the first-ever dramatic game preview provided by AI. It's humorous, that's for sure. Let's get ready for FC Dallas, everyone. Yee-haw!

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 on deck for you, even if that means the Galaxy didn't play over the weekend. Dallas on Saturday night? We'll believe it when we see it. Just like the EPL playing 38 games!

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? And would you like to know why the Galaxy are mentioned a lot in The Athletic's anonymous survey? You shouldn't be surprised by the unfinished Galaxy roster, but it may have improved with Calegari's addition. Plus, will the Galaxy buyout Douglas Costa on a Friday afternoon with just hours left until the start of the season (conspiracy theory)? We're ready for the 2023 season. The Galaxy are pretty ready too. Let's get to it!

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 explain why Tyler Boyd may play his way into a more significant contract. Finally, the sky isn't falling, and the Galaxy will have a good enough roster. But what does that mean for this weekend? We've got a bunch to get to as your 2023 season is about to kick off. Thanks for joining us!

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 Vanney had to say after the game and why an incomplete team is likely headed to one of the biggest games in the history of the league. He'll explain that too. But there will also be talk about rumors and why the Galaxy may be targeting a U-22 Right Back. Could Julian Araujo's replacement be coming from Brazil? And are the Galaxy going to let you protest inside the stadium? Maybe that crackdown has already started? There's much to talk about today, and Josh wants to ensure you get all the details!

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 for Efrain Alvarez? Is THIS his breakout year? We've got a lot to talk about tonight, even if the LA Galaxy don't have a bunch of breaking news. Will they sign another player before the window closes? Ummm yeah! Hang in there!

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 looks inside the stadium. But will a preseason game move the needle for AEG? Finally, the guys will talk about Tyler Boyd's return from Turkey. What could his signing mean for the Galaxy? And who would he replace once the team is fully built out? Is he the answer to the Galaxy's Grandsir problem? Thanks for coming along for another Monday edition of CoG. We'll see you all Thursday.

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 Galaxy are doing is in a holding pattern. The guys will also talk about AppleTV, and Josh will give his opinion on the new streaming service. There are some misses to the MLS Season Pass, but will it be a competent addition to your streaming services? Josh and Eric will also talk about MLS getting another hefty valuation from Forbes and why you probably can't trust it. And finally, the Galaxy have a Ponzi scheme connection that would make for a compelling movie. And no, it's not that Ponzi scheme. We've got a bunch to talk about, so let's get to it! Oh, and the Internet works!

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 well? Plus, AppleTV is launching MLS Season Pass on February 1st. And they just dropped a bunch more names that will improve your experience. Cobi Jones adds more Galaxy flair to the list of good broadcasters. And are they done? Finally, enjoy the trainwreck that is show number 1,003.

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?

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 days to sign talent and get them into camp. But Greg Vanney doesn't seem to be panicked. And he seems to understand where his significant replacements will have to be. Thanks for listening and watching! We're glad you could hang out with us!

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 focused on another young designated player? And why does Vanney think he's got 2-3 good moves to make? Plus, Josh and Kevin want to talk about the Supporter's Groups boycott of the LA Galaxy season. They want Chris Klein gone. So why did AEG bring him back when they didn't need to? And what is a solution that allows everyone to walk away, saving some face? Is this a staring contest? And if so, who blinks first? Why could Herbalife and AppleTV be big players in a resolution? We've got a lot to talk about. And as we approach 1,000 shows (show 999), we're glad you've been around for the ride!

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 Vanney, which happened just minutes before Kevin joined the show. There are rumors about Douglas Costa and Sam Grandsir, and we even dive into the reversible jackets that Tim Cook unwittingly unveiled. We've got a ton to talk about, so let's get to it.

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?

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 discuss Nick DePuy's departure from LA and why Nashville fleeced Greg Vanney while flipping another Galaxy player. We've got a great show for you tonight, and we can't wait to start the season. Are the Galaxy ready? Who will be the next Designated Player? A lot of questions with players reporting this weekend.

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 a concerning pattern that started last year?

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 really pushing it when they pit the Galaxy against LAFC every chance they get!

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 comfortable with a better defense? Plus, Josh will cover rumors of Angle Di Maria and Josh Drack.

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?

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.

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 mistrust that was perpetrated?

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?

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.

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 being the breakout star in 2023? We've got a lot to cover for an off-season show, and we think the Expansion Draft is the perfect way to talk about how Kevin Cabral will leave the club.

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 be back? What about Sasha Kljestan, Martin Caceres, Victor Vazquez, and Sega Coulibaly? And why did Vanney say he was "happy" with the forwards? Doesn't he watch Kevin Cabral play? Can Josh translate what Vanney is saying? We've got over 90 minutes of Galaxy talk ready and waiting for you. Welcome to the offseason. Only 114 days until the Galaxy's next game. But it's not like we're counting.

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 to buy out his contract when push comes to shove? We've got a small primer on what to expect from the offseason and why things might not really take shape until after this winter World Cup. As always, thanks for joining us, and buckle up for another wild offseason! The Galaxy have flexibility, so how will they use it?

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 that come with the danger of being too confident? And how will the Galaxy handle the big transitions LAFC is known for? There's a lot to talk about. We even get Hammer to drop by and give us a dramatic game preview ahead of the marquee playoff matchup. The Galaxy have survived to be one of the last eight teams standing. Can they get three more wins if it means hoisting an MLS Cup at the end?
