In this episode, the boys can barely contain their enthusiasm for probably the best start to the season they could have hoped for. They break down an incredible week of victories for Nashville SC against Atletico Ottawa and the New England Revolution. There's plenty of love to go around, including for Super Sam Surridge, the giver of goals, and Brian Schwake in his MLS debut. But some folks, you just know you're in love as soon as you see them, and that's the case for the boys when they say Warren Madrigal and Maxwell Woledzi this week. The team's performance obviously reminded the boys of Handel's debut of the Messiah, and they've also got some hot takes about where the team is headed for the season and how high the ceiling could be - if there even is one. After a quick check of teams around the MLS, the boys break out the crystal balls for predictions on the upcoming second match against Ottawa as well as a road match versus FC Dallas. And they drink beer.

In this episode of Chat By The Pitch, Ian sits down with North Texas player and administrator Kassandra Ruelas to unpack what it really looks like to grow up inside one of the most competitive girls' soccer markets in the country. From yelling “goal” as her first word to playing with the boys and eventually earning a chance to play in Spain, Kassandra's story is a masterclass in soccer IQ, resilience, and family support. Kassandra talks about the pressure of DFW girls' soccer, the unspoken politics of youth sports, and what it feels like to be overlooked and benched after being named captain—and why she refused to let that season define her. She shares how her mom's sacrifices, her cousins' professional careers (including stints in Mexico and with the Dallas Sidekicks), and training with the boys gave her the tools to navigate setbacks without losing her love for the game. For players, this conversation shows how to use the field as your therapy, build your game around intelligence instead of just being bigger, faster, stronger, and survive the hard seasons. For parents, it's a real look at travel, pressure, and why the right coach matters more than any alphabet-soup league. For coaches, Kassandra offers a player's-eye view on communication, favoritism, and how one honest conversation can change a career.Key Talking Points• How soccer has always been part of Kassandra's life — her first word was “goal,” and the living room was a mini-pitch growing up. • The moment in middle school when soccer shifted from “fun with friends” to serious training, four-year plans, and future dreams on the pitch. • Growing up in a North Texas soccer family — cousins who played pro in Mexico and indoors with the Dallas Sidekicks — and the self-imposed pressure to honor their investment in her. • The Texas girls' soccer environment: extremely competitive, with teammates and opponents now playing in the NWSL—and how that can mess with your head if you compare timelines. • How her mom's support and sacrifices (driving 1.5 hours in traffic, always backing her choices) helped balance the pressure. • Soccer as therapy and creative outlet: using the game to disconnect from stress, reset emotionally, and express herself without overthinking. • Learning to separate “family” from “coach” with her three cousins: flipping the switch from joking in the car to professionalism on the field. • Kassandra's club journey: Odyssey → Liverpool → Solar → FC Dallas → Texans → Sting → Al Nord Texas boys → heading to Spain to play with Villarreal. • Why DFW competition at U13+ felt tougher than most out-of-state tournaments (except maybe California) and how playing the same high-level players for years sharpened her game. • The hardest season: being told she'd be captain, then getting five minutes of game time, feeling overlooked, and wanting to quit—but choosing to control her work rate and attitude instead. • Esteban's advice on politics and the rollercoaster of soccer—you can't want the highs without accepting the lows. • How the DFW soccer community is a small world—one name can spark a 30-person chain of connections, from FC Dallas games to Starbucks encounters. • The difference between Texas-style “athlete building” and Spanish tactical football, and why playing with boys forced her to lean on IQ instead of brute force. • Why she turned down a DA opportunity because the coaching style didn't fit her, even though the letters looked good.• A player's perspective on alphabet-soup leagues, constant travel, and chasing logos vs. staying local, dominating your backyard, and finding the right environment. Quotes from Kassandra• “My first word was ‘goal' during a game. Soccer has literally always been there—I can't remember life without it.” • “If I'm not playing on the field, I'm not happy. It's when I miss the game that I...

And while that won't help them in 2025, maybe the momentum they started in the second half of the season will help next season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Damian Calhoun (Southern California News Group) discuss the win on Saturday night, the roster rebuilding conundrums, and their votes for Player of the Year and Defender of the Year. Who deserves these very real honors, and how can you justify them in a season that was just so poor? Let's get you ready for the close of the 2025 season! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,200! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2025!

And a win or a draw over FC Dallas could just put them in a position to not be the worst team in the league. On today's show, host Josh Guesman talk about his fear of scary movies, why his wife would like to see him with more hair, and how the LA Galaxy need to feed Diego Fagundez so he can close out 2025 with that 80/80 record he's been chasing. Plus, who would you put as your Player of the Year? Defender of the year? Why are we all looking forward to this season being over? Let's talk about it all in a little group therapy session right here on Corner of the Galaxy! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,200!
