The bad news? The 0-0 draw at home was convincing at best and downright difficult watch at worst. So what can the Galaxy do? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicholaou discuss the Galaxy's woes in their first 270 minutes of soccer in 2026 and why the midfield still feels disconnected. But maybe the defense is stepping it up while the midfield and offense figure it out? No shots allowed on goal for San Miguelito, and the Galaxy have only given up one goal in the first three games (minus the PK against NYCFC). But can the Galaxy's defense do it all? And what happens if the Galaxy get scored on first? Can the offense figure it out before the pressure really ramps up on this team and the coaching staff? Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,270! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2026!

A stalemate at the DHSP was just enough! The LA Galaxy are officially moving on to the Round of 16 in the Concacaf Champions Cup after a tense 0-0 draw against Sporting San Miguelito. It wasn't pretty, and it was certainly a "scrap," but the away goals rule has the G's moving forward.

And neither of the games is anything approaching great soccer! But are there trends that we can identify early on? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Damian Calhoun (Southern California News Group) discuss the 1-1 draws to both Sporting San Miguelito and New York City FC. They are two different games with two different versions of the Galaxy. But the results were the same. So is this version of the Galaxy a defensive team? Is this version of the Galaxy working on offense? Is this version of the Galaxy missing pieces in the midfield?
