CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy fell flat in another big game against FC Dallas this season. And to add insult to injury, Dallas scored on a set-piece goal - the same way they eliminated LA from the US Open Cup. It's just another tough result in a string of frustrating results that has Galaxy fans and analysts questioning what is wrong with this team. On today's show your hosts, Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano will answer your listener questions. In those questions, they'll attempt to find the big picture answers that could lead to a very difficult decision for LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager, Bruce Arena. Should Arena begin benching some of his star players? Is there a tactical solution to the three Designated Players all on the field at the same time? How many time have all three DP's started for the LA Galaxy? And if this all falls apart and LA makes wholesale changes to the lineup in 2017, what kind of players do they chase after? But before Josh & Adam get to dive into those listener questions, we'll be joined by ESPN Soccer Analyst and Color Commentator, Taylor Twellman. Josh and Taylor will discuss the Galaxy's slipping form as well as try and drill down to some of the reason for the incompatibility on the pitch. They'll also get into some of the reason why LA Galaxy players might not be getting along in the Galaxy locker room and if Bruce Arena can fix those issues. After all, there are two games left in the season and the LA isn't even certain who their best starting XI are. It's a great show filled with some excellent insight into a team that has everyone grasping for answers. It's another Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box. We're glad you could join us.

With Andrew out of the picture, the guys turn to none other than ESPN's Taylor Twellman to lead the front line. Taylor talks everything from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's impending future to the Colorado Rapids miracle turnaround, trouble in Columbus and reaction to the disappointing Jozy Altidore injury news.   After hanging up on Taylor, David and Matt break down another wild weekend. They start with Sporting KC's shooting practice against Orlando and the fortunes of the two New York clubs as they head into a pair of midweek fixtures before a Heineken Rivalry Week matchup on Saturday. Not to be overlooked is Montreal and Philly's top of the table matchup and the FC Dallas winger not named Fabian Castillo who is lighting it up.   In the mailbag, the guys talk fantasy, lock in some playoff teams in May and which of the seven young USMNT call-ups have the brightest future.

The sky is falling! Or maybe not. It all depends on your perspective. ESPN's Taylor Twellman joins the gang to break down the malaise surrounding the US national team after a 2-0 World Cup qualifying loss in Guatemala. Are players being played out of position? How different is Jurgen Klinsmann's reign than Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena in actuality? What’s Klinsmann's role as Technical Director? Taylor digs in on all those topics and more. Plus, reaction to Canada's big match against Mexico in Vancouver.   In the second segment, there is good news for US fans after the U-23 squad earned a 1-1 draw down in Colombia in their Olympic playoff. How did they get it done? Brian Sciaretta explains then gives a scouting report on rising star Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund).    In the mailbag, Arielle Castillo joins to give the lowdown on the stadium plots Miami Beckham United purchased last week. The guys close it out by celebrating the legend of Jimmy Nielsen, which still burns strong because of some hilarious on-field antics back in 2013.  

While the third and fourth rounds of the MLS SuperDraft went down via conference call, ESPN’s Taylor Twellman joined Andrew, David and Matt for a wide-ranging MLS discussion that included the former Revs and USMNT’s striker’s New Year’s resolution, Jordan Morris’ potential MLS future, the Rapids’ pursuit of a certain US national team goalkeeper, the rebuilding project going on in Los Angeles and uncertain MLS fates for Jermaine Jones and Didier Drogba. Of course, there’s plenty going on outside MLS. Notably, the USMNT’s January camp is ongoing, and Matt puts 2016 – Olympic qualifying, Copa Centenario and World Cup qualifying – in context. More importantly, what’s up with Morris’ rumored Sounders signing after leaving Werder Bremen? Where does he fit in and what does it mean for Seattle? Plus, thoughts on what are the Chicago Fire are up to, Yura Movsisyan’s 2016 goal haul and a Costa Rican international linked with New York City FC. In the mailbag, a certain Red Bulls’ player (of the past) created a stir on Craigslist, and MLS’s biggest Hungarian fan chimes in on Sporting KC’s newest signing and Krisztian Nemeth’s MLS future.
