This week on #IntotheCosmos our hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa get you ready for a crazy week ahead for the New York Cosmos. With three matches set to be played in seven days, the Cosmos will be on the field plenty, as they face two home games with Ft Lauderdale and Minnesota, before hitting the road for a second meeting with Ft Lauderdale. We review the 1 - 1 draw with Indy Eleven this past weekend, whiich makes it six straight games in the series with a draw as an outcome between the teams. We also welcome Andres Flores as our guest this week. Flores just rejoined the team from Gold Cup action with El Salvadore and he's making his second appearance on the show. Teams are battling for positioning in the fall table and the Cosmos need to pick up the pace in the standings as the accumulative points for the spring and fall will determine home field advantage in the playoffs.

This week on #IntotheCosmos, your hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa review the week that was for the New York Cosmos, which amounted in the team's first loss of the 2015 campaign to Jacksonville this past weekend. On deck for the Cosmos this week is another battle with Indy Eleven, who as we all know have given the team fits in two seasons, playing to five draws in five games between the two clubs. For our interviews this week, we welcome Hagop Chirishian from the Cosmos, who makes hisfirst appearance on the show. The Armenian American has had quite an influence with the team of late, which included a NASL Best XI award in the final spring  game that helped clinch the spring title for the Cosmos. We also welcome Greg Janicki from Indy Eleven, who has had a stellar career at every level of American soccer from his days at Michigan State, to winning a championship with the San Antonio Scorpions a year ago, now playing in his first season with Indy Eleven. Our hosts will wrap up the show with their expectations this weekend for the match at "The Mike", and talk about the Cosmos B squad starting the playoffs today against the NY Athletic Club, who the secondary squad has beaten twice in their two regular season meetings. We hope you enjoy the show, and we thank you for listening!

This week on #IntotheCosmos, our hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa get everyone prepared for the match this weekend with the Jacksonville Armada, who if you recall gave the Cosmos all they could handle in the final game of the Spring season. The Cosmos came away with the Spring title, but the Armada battled for 90 minutes and found a 3 - 3 result with a late goal from Joseph Toby. Joseph Toby will come on the air with us this week, and talk about the excitement of scoring his first NASL goal in a Jacksonville uniform, and also talk about his transition from moving to the United States from Sierra Leone, Africa. Our Cosmos interview this week will be with Jimmy Mulligan, who makes his second appearance on the show this year. Jimmy discusses his love for being part of the clinics that the Cosmos are known for, which he hopes carries over in to a coaching role in his future, but for now, he is more than content playing in New York, where he grew up and has called home his entire life. The Cosmos enter the weekend still undefeated this season, and the Armada are going to do their best to change all that at Everbank Field while playing their third game in eight days.

Today on #IntotheCosmos, Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa get the Cosmos fans ready for the match next weekend against the Jacksonville Armada, although the team dos have this weekend off. The Cosmos escaped Indy Eleven this past weekend with a 1 - 1 draw, which seems to be a trend when it comes to playing the Indiana franchise. The Cosmos and Indy Eleven have met five times in NASL action, and we have seen a draw on all five occasions. We bring you an interview with Mads Stokkelien, who has a U.S Cup goal to his credit this season, but is still looking for his first league goal of 2015. Hopefully we will be able to have an influence on that, as the #18 factors in to the equation. We will discuss some of the comments made in Coach Gio's weekly press conference, and get you all covered with team news, injuries, and player status', so let's get in to the Cosmos!

This week on #IntotheCosmos, join our hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa as we prepare for the arrival of the Fall portion of the NASL season. There is much to discuss, as the U.S Open Cup match with the Cosmos and New York Red Bulls takes place this evening at the Red Bull Arena, while the Cosmos also prepare for Indy Eleven this upcoming weekend. We have two special interviews to bring you this week! We have the goalkeepers from both the Cosmos and Indy joining us. Jimmy Maurer makes his second appearance on the show, and we welcome Kristian Nicht in his debut appearance on Sports Palooza Radio's Into the Cosmos. The two have gotten to know each other well over the last two NASL seasons, with each team settling for a draw in four all-time meetings, and you will hear the mutual respect the two have for each other in their interviews. Join us every Wednesday at 1PM ET all through the season to keep up to date with everything New York Cosmos!

While the Cosmos celebrate the Spring Championship, there is no time to sit back and rest on the accomplishment, with a 4th round encounter on deck in the Open Cup, and Coach Gio Savarese stated as much in this week's press conference, noting that while the accomplishment is significant, there is much more work left to do this year. Let's get to it, and hopefully we will see you at Shuart Stadium at 7:30 PM ET, for the match against NYCFC.

Today on #IntotheCosmos, Hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa review the week that was for the New York Cosmos.

The Cosmos came out on top 4 - 1, with four first half goals. Lucky Mkosana found the net twice, with Sebastian Guenzatti and Hagop Chirishian adding tallies for the team. Our interviews this week will take place with Sebastian Guenzatti from the Cosmos, and Jemal Johnson from the Jacksonville Armada, who in fact has a ring on his finger from his 2013 season with the Cosmos.

Following his father's footsteps, Manny is the longest tenured coach in the entire NASL, with two Coach of the Year awards to his credit.
