Dante Vanzeir speelt dit weekend met de New York Red Bulls de finale van de MLS Cup in de Verenigde Staten. Na een historische kwalificatie in de Eastern Conference, wacht hen in de finale de winnaar van de Western conference: LA Galaxy. Schiet hij de New York Red Bulls naar hun eerste MLS-titel ooit? Sporza Daily blikt vooruit met Anderlecht-speelster en zus Luna Vanzeir en met ex-MLS-spelers Jelle Van Damme en Brecht Dejaegere.
Op amper achttienjarige leeftijd verhuisde onze gast van het toenmalige GBA naar het grote Ajax Amsterdam om te voetballen met sterren zoals Zlatan Ibrahimovic en Wesley Sneijder. Nadien zal hij een prachtige carrière uitbouwen bij Southampton, Werder Bremen, Anderlecht, Wolverhampton, Standard, LA Galaxy en Antwerp. Een einde in mineur volgt bij de club waar het oorspronkelijk begon, Sporting Lokeren. De voetbalschoenen gaan aan de haak om een nieuwe carrière uit te bouwen als voetbalmakelaar.

Vandaag luisteren we naar het perspectief van Coach Ahmed, personal trainer van o.a BV's en professionele atleten! We hebben het over zijn ontmoeting met legendarische voetballers Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Materazzi en meer in Dubai, het uitzenden van diversere sport, het werkethiek van Fabrizio de bachelor en Jelle Van Damme, en hoe je zo fit mogelijk de Ramadan trotseert.
Er zijn weinig spelers uit de recente Belgische voetbalgeschiedenis zo veelbesproken als Jelle Van Damme. De beenharde maar technisch begaafde verdediger ontwikkelde zich op jonge leeftijd bij streekclub Lokeren om via Germinal Beerschot bij het grote Ajax terecht te komen. Later volgden omzwervingen in de Premier League en de Bundesliga om daarna het paars-witte shirt van Anderlecht aan te trekken. Hij werd er oorspronkelijk als doublure voor Olivier Deschacht gehaald, maar ontpopte zich tot onmisbare speler in het hart van de verdediging en dat van het Brusselse publiek. Vier succesvolle jaren in de hoofdstad en nog een kortstondig avontuur in de Premier League later, belandde hij bij de Luikse aartsrivaal Standard waar hij het zelfs tot kapitein schopte. Voor wie dacht dat dit alles nog niet indrukwekkend genoeg was, vermelden we ook nog z'n passages bij LA Galaxy, Antwerp, Lokeren én de nationale ploeg. Zet je schrap voor een MIDMID waarvan je niet wist dat je nog een tweede deel nodig had (maar waarvan je eigenlijk ook niet wist dat er een eerste deel was...)!

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are in a must win situation for the rest of the year. And it won't get easier for them as they face a difficult schedule and continued issues with injuries. The Galaxy will head to Columbus to take on Crew SC before returning home to play in the final Cali-Clasico of the year. Your hosts, Josh Guesman and - filling in for Kevin Baxter who is away covering the Little League World Series - LAGalaxy.com contributor Larry Morgan are here to give you 65-minutes of Galaxy talk. They'll discuss the official transfer of Jelle Van Damme. How should one remember Van Damme and what did this season do to his legacy as a Galaxy player? Will the Galaxy be better off without the Belgian? And does it look like his replacement is on his way in? Next, Josh and Larry will talk about Jermaine Jones and his impact on this team as he's ruled out for yet another game. Does a toe injury spell the end for Jones? And will the Galaxy be able to respond like they did the last Jones was ruled out due to injury? The guys will also break-down the Galaxy's remaining schedule and tell you why any chance the Galaxy have for a playoff spot basically relies on them winning. Winning this game, the next, and all the games from here on out. Is this Galaxy team even close to be able to go on a monumental run? And a question that will pop up without much warning, do the Galaxy even have room for Gyasi Zardes moving into next year? Finally, they'll give you the information you need to know about the game against the Crew. It's an early start for the Galaxy and the last time they won was on a Wednesday on the road. Coincidence, I think not! Thanks for joining us on CoG: From the Box! We'll catch you next time! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory!

CoG Studios, CA - It may be a bye week for the LA Galaxy, but it's not for your favorite podcast. We've packed 60-minutes of Galaxy talk into 68-minutes of entertaining, non-stop action! Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are ready to get you through a weekend of no Galaxy soccer. And while some might be sad, Josh thinks it might lead to some happier households. After all, if there is no game, then they can't lose (Yes! This is what this season has given to us. This perspective). First, Josh and Wendy will go back over the 2-0 loss to NYCFC. It's been talked to death, but Gyasi Zardes is still the biggest issue facing the club and it's probably because there is no one else to produce goals in that striker position. Did the Galaxy break him? Did they break Brian Rowe? Was this a case of "playing God?" And raise your hand if you noticed that Giovani dos Santos didn't play in last week's game. Really? Maybe we're alone on that. How much blame does the highest paid player on the team deserve for the results of the year? Next, they'll dive into Galaxy news including an update on Jelle Van Damme and why the Galaxy might be trying to extend his stay in Los Angeles. Is this a gamble that isn't worth taking? Or should Van Damme happily agree to a couple more games? Is there a replacement on the way? Finally, Wendy will give you a lesson in accounting that includes telling you about the Forbes most valuable franchises list, and what she thinks about the JD Power and Associates award the Galaxy just won. I mean it's worth it just for the analysis on depreciation, am I right?! It's a packed show and we're glad you could join us. So you're saying there's a chance? No. Oh.

CoG Studios, CA - It's another 90-minutes of LA Galaxy talk with the guys you started with. For the first time in a long time, Josh Guesman teams up with Jared DuBois to give you all the team talk you can possibly handle. The guys will talk about the problems they see with the team while highlighting some players and figuring out who doesn't belong on this team as well. Your call will guide the discussion as listeners chime in about Gyasi Zardes, Giovani dos Santos, Emmanuel Boateng, and Jelle Van Damme. Who needs to stay on this team and who needs to go? Plus, guys will talk about the biggest need for the Galaxy and whether or not the front office is fixing this team. How does next year come into play? Josh will update you on the latest news concerning a possible move for Jelle Van Damme and what that looks like. Are the Galaxy bringing in Michael Ciani? Does this hurt or help the Galaxy? And Josh and Jared will also get you updated on the $500k in Targeted Allocation Money and General Allocation Money and who the Galaxy got their hands on it. Bruce Arena seems to be Santa Clause on this one. Did you get a season ticket renewal form? Is it just bad timing or are increases out of line for this season? Finally, the guys will get you ready for the Saturday game with New York City FC. It's as close to a must-win as there is and NYCFC is coming in hot off a rivalry game victory and a hat trick by David Villa. It's a packed show with familiar faces and voices.

CoG Studios, CA - Your LA Galaxy fell apart in Portland where they lost 3-1 on the MLS debut of Jonathan dos Santos. While getting their new Designated Player on the field was positive there were plenty of negatives that we are more than happy to discuss. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter are here to walk you through what they learned from the game in addition to giving you the latest and greatest Galaxy news. First, the guys will talk about the effect of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and how the first ever VAR call involving the Galaxy ended up completely changing the course of this game and how it could affect the rest of the season as well. Did Gyasi Zardes see his goalless streak and his mojo go right out the window? And is it even fair to introduce this new technology more than halfway through the season? Can it affect each team differently? The guys will then ensure that they cover the latest rumors surround Jelle Van Damme and why the Galaxy may be in France searching for his replacement. But what happens if that replacement wants a longer contract? Can the Galaxy free up some of their long-term money? Josh and Kevin will also give you their opinions of Jonathan dos Santos and discuss why the Galaxy may have hitched themselves to the Dos Santos wagon for longer than they think. Can you get rid of brothers individually? Or are these two linked together regardless of how the other performs? Finally, we'll take your questions, your phone calls, your tweets, and your emails as we do our best to get you all the updated information you need to be the smartest person at Saturday's game. 90-minutes of Galaxy talk is on the way!

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy stopped a five-game slide and found themselves with the first positive momentum they've had in a month. But they've got a tough road game in Portland this weekend, and we want to give you all the details so you can be the smartest person at your brunch on Sunday! Your hosts Josh Guesman and Britt Pergl are going to give you the very best team talk you can find. First, they'll talk briefly about what they learned from the Galaxy's 0-0 draw with the Seattle Sounders and why that scoreline is Britt's fault. What was going through Jelle Van Damme's mind as he got ejected and did this spell the end of the Belgian's time with the club? Then they'll get into Galaxy news by updating you on a record MLS sponsorship deal and what that could mean for teams starting as soon as 2018. Will the Galaxy and other clubs get to spend some cash? Josh and Britt will also talk to you about Efrain Alvarez and what an exciting player the Galaxy have signed to LA Galaxy II. Why is this such a big deal? We'll have the details. And were you one of the 2.1 million people who watched the MLS All-Star game? Josh will give you his assessment of the what the game means and how that effects the Galaxy coming up this weekend. Finally, your hosts will get you ready for the Portland Timbers as the Galaxy will head up to a hot and steamy Providence Park in an attempt to extend their league-best road record and hand the Timbers their third loss at home this year. Will Jonathan dos Santos be available? Will Dave Romney play? There are lots of things to talk about on the show, and we're glad you could join us!

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy shook everything up last week when they fired Curt Onalfo, immediately hired Sigi Schmid, and signed Designated Player Jonathan dos Santos. And now that Schmid has made it through his first game, it's time that our hosts fill you in on all the happenings over the past couple of days and that may include some bombshells. Hosts Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer Kevin Baxter are ready to bring you all the Galaxy news you can handle. They'll start with Kevin's reaction and retelling of the events that lead up to the ouster of Onalfo and how he saw the hiring of Schmid. Plus you'll hear about what some of the players had to say when they found out about the coaching change. Josh and Kevin will also get into some of the details surrounding the signing of Jonathan dos Santos. They'll talk about the Galaxy's expectations and why, in many circles, it sounds like the club got a great deal for the box-to-box midfielder. It's also important to go back over some things we learned from the Galaxy's draw with Seattle. Are most people making too much of a game that didn't see a goal scored because they're used to it being so bad at StubHub Center? Finally, your hosts will talk about the possible departures of Jelle Van Damme and Ashley Cole. Is there any substance behind either of the rumors? Should the Galaxy actually consider a move for one or both of the players? We'll give you our expert perspective on the choices facing the club and give you inside information regarding the possibility of the movement of those players. It's a packed show full of all that Galaxy talk you can't get enough of. We're glad you could join us!

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are back in action again as they attempt to rebound from a bad loss to the San Jose Earthquakes. They've only had four days and they'll be without their captain, Jelle Van Damme. But on paper, is Real Salt Lake the team they beat at home for the first time in 88 days? Your hosts, CoG's, Josh Guesman, and, LA Times Sports Writer, Kevin Baxter are here to get you caught up to speed on what is happening with the Galaxy as the shortest of weeks gets ready to start and then quickly end. Kevin is back from vacation and right back into the swing of things as the Galaxy head toward their first break in a very long time. But first, they'll have to play against RSL. Josh and Kevin will go over all the important talking points that came out of the loss to the 'Quakes. There's handball talk, late game collapses and why this game is better than it looks. They'll also get deep into a discussion about passionate players and how that can always go wrong. Was Van Damme wrong to have been upset? Did the referee compound his mistake by being there to get yelled at? Or does all the fault lie with Van Damme? Maybe even Onalfo gets some blame? And straight from training, Kevin gets you updated on most the Galaxy's injuries and why you could see some guys on the bench you haven't seen in awhile. Plus they'll get you caught up on suspensions, international absences and more. This week isn't just about RSL, although the guys will get you ready for that game. It's also about how much rest the Galaxy can cram into their tired legs before having to play an Open Cup game on July 10th. It's a great show, and we're so glad you could join us. Thanks for listening to Corner of the Galaxy.

This week, I have a new enemy in Jelle Van Damme after the Quakes lose the Clasico at home.Â
CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy have closed out their four-game road trip with a fairly pedestrian draw. But that also means they took ten of 12 points on the swing. That's not bad, and it should set them up nicely for the international break before having to start a very busy stretch of games. Your hosts, CoG's Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer, Kevin Baxter, are here to give you all the latest takes and information on your favorite Southern California team. The guys will take a look at what Jon Kempin did in his first Galaxy start and how the rest of the team was able to do after so much travel. For Gyasi Zardes they'll get into his continued struggles and what the Galaxy might have to start doing with him. Is the bench calling for him? Or should the team continue to play him in hopes of getting some real production out of him? If not Zardes then who? The guys will also discuss Jelle Van Damme's absence, Giovan dos Santos' absence and why Zardes could be joining them. And is having a happy Dos Santos the most important thing to the Galaxy?

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy have closed out their four-game road trip with a fairly pedestrian draw. But that also means they took ten of 12 points on the swing. That's not bad, and it should set them up nicely for the international break before having to start a very busy stretch of games. Your hosts, CoG's Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer, Kevin Baxter, are here to give you all the latest takes and information on your favorite Southern California team. The guys will take a look at what Jon Kempin did in his first Galaxy start and how the rest of the team was able to do after so much travel. For Gyasi Zardes they'll get into his continued struggles and what the Galaxy might have to start doing with him. Is the bench calling for him? Or should the team continue to play him in hopes of getting some real production out of him? If not Zardes then who? The guys will also discuss Jelle Van Damme's absence, Giovan dos Santos' absence and why Zardes could be joining them. And is having a happy Dos Santos the most important thing to the Galaxy? Finally, the guys answer your questions about the US Open Cup, the upcoming game against Houston and even discuss that the Galaxy have people working on things in foreign places. You can catch all the details right here. Thanks for listening to Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box. We're glad you could join us and we're looking forward to being there for you this week and every week. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy get a comprehensive win over the New York Red Bulls and break all kinds of streaks. Your hosts, CoG's Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Writer Kevin Baxter, are here discuss all the issues and success that came out of the win. First, Josh and Kevin will give you their thoughts on the win. What went right, what went wrong, and what is going to become a bigger issue down the road. How did Jelle Van Damme react to Curt Onalfo's benching? And why should Van Damme still be wearing the armband? The guys will also discuss the Galaxy's offensive woes. Is Gyasi Zardes next to come under fire? Should the team be expecting more from him? And who's to blame for the lack of strikers scoring? Was the midfield to blame for their slow start? Or, with that now fixed, are the strikers about to come alive? Josh will also get into his charts and tell you, with an additional win, where the Galaxy compare to their historical past. They now have some company, and some of it is good company! Finally, Josh and Kevin will answer your questions, take your calls from the CoG Hotline and give you the responses you deserve. The Galaxy have made a serious step forward, can they continue that when they travel to Minnesota United on Sunday? Or is this road trip still an uphill battle? It's an optimistic Galaxy podcast, and I'm not sure we've had one of those in quite some time. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

Have time to kill at work? Maybe a long drive coming up? We've got you covered with nearly two hours of soccer talk, including an exclusive interview with LA Galaxy defender Jelle Van Damme. But first, the long and the short from an awesome Week 11, including Toronto FC's historic winning streak, a throwback night in Chicago, hambones for the Union and Revs and a big win thousands of miles from home for the LA Galaxy. Ben 'The Research' Baer, aka the King of Takes, jumps on as well to give you insight into Justin Meram's big season with Crew SC and Cyle Larin's Chicharito-like shot efficiency before Evan Ream (Davis Enterprise) gives the guys an update on MLS expansion in Sacramento. Once that's out of the way, it's time to sit down for a long chat with the big Belgian, who takes Andrew and Dave through his career in Europe, including at Ajax with none other than Zlatan, and his life in Southern California. Oh, and you better believe we asked Van Damme about getting the first-half hook against the Fire. Settle in for a fun interview before the Hot-Take Hotline takes you home!

Josh and Wendy will start by recapping some of the highlights from the Galaxy's 2-2 draw with the Chicago Fire. And being it's all anyone can talk about, they'll both give you their take on why head coach Curt Onalfo pulled Jelle Van Damme. They'll also touch on the Jermaine Jones and the why the Galaxy may have been "lucky" to see him off the field. Finally, they'll both discuss Gyasi Zardes and Brian Rowe and how they think of their overall performance on Saturday. Next, we'll jump into the multitude of Galaxy News. Including the official announcement that moved Robbie Rogers to the Season Ending Injury list - finally. Plus we'll get in-depth about Jone's Grade 2 MCL sprain and what a realistic timeline for his return is.

CoG Studios, CA - For weeks now people have been predicting the professional demise of Curt Onalfo's head coaching gig with the LA Galaxy. And with poor result throughout the beginning of the season, you could understand why. But on today's show, we're going to tell you how and why the Onalfo may have won the team back and what that could mean going forward. Your hosts, CoG's Josh Guesman and LA Times Soccer Reporter Kevin Baxter, are bringing tons of knowledge and bunch of excellent information on your favorite team. And while the result against Chicago is nothing to get too happy about, the attitudes that have changed as a result of that are the really big story. The guys will talk about Onalfo's first half sub of Jelle Van Damme and why this produced the biggest change in the team. But they'll also cover the injury to Jones and why those two events can't be separated. Did Van Damme have a "come to Bruce" moment? Will the Jones injury turn him into a part time player? They'll also discuss Giovani dos Santos and his most recent form and whether or not his brother is coming to the Galaxy. Is Gio back on track and ready to destroy opponents? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The show will take your calls, your emails, and all your Twitter questions. We'll answer all the hard hitting questions like "Is there more tension in the locker room?" And of course "Do you like chicken nuggets?" Tonight is a show about what happens when a coach, who is about to get fired, reacts to save his job. Did it work? And will it work for the rest of the season? It's probably best to just listen and find out! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory
CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy didn't win another home game. But you wouldn't know it from their comments after the game. A team that probably should have been demoralized after dropping more home points was instead energized and maybe a little upset the game wasn't 45-minutes longer. Your host Josh Guesman is joined by TotalMLS.net writer Brittany Pergl (@britt___jo). Together, they try to dissect the Galaxy's post-game comments and will attempt to distil some meaning from some interesting conversations. Who is the leader of this team? And what does it say that the players were in a positive mindset following a game in which they saw their captain being subbed off in the first half for purely tactical reasons? Does this show a bigger issue with the team as a whole? Josh and Britt will also get into the injury to Jermaine Jones and give you a more reasonable timeline on his return. And perhaps this comes at the perfect time as João Pedro seems to be finding a stride with his midfield partner, Baggio Husidic. Can you separate the substitution of Jelle Van Damme from the injury to Jermaine Jones? Can you give credit to Onalfo or do you have to point to Jones' absence as the reason for the Galaxy's second half result? And as a special addition to this show, Josh was down on the field right before kickoff on Saturday night where he got to talk to Sebastian Lletget about photographing the game and how his recovery is coming. It's a great show and we're glad you could join us for it. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are getting ready to take on the defending MLS Cup Champion Seattle Sounders on Sunday at 1 PM (TV: ESPN & ESPN Deportes) at StubHub Center. So we sent, CoG Producer and Host, Josh Guesman to training to catch up with Galaxy Captain, Jelle Van Damme. Josh will find out what has been keeping the team from capitalizing on some of their better games and what needs to be fixed before they can be victorious on Sunday. They'll also discuss how important the next three home games will be and whether or not the Galaxy can take any pointers from a Seattle team that had a horrible start to the 2016 season and still came out victorious. Then Josh will be joined by ESPN Analyst and former MLS Player Taylor Twellman. Taylor will be in the booth for the network when the Galaxy and Sounders face off, so he's the perfect person to get an outside perspective on this struggling team. Taylor will point out some of the issues he sees with the Galaxy and perhaps some possible reasons why they just haven't been able to put together a good game yet. It's wonderful analysis from someone who isn't based in and around the team and I think you'll find that everyone who is covering the Galaxy is on the same page when it comes to the glaring deficiencies that face this club on the field. Thanks for letting the Short Corner edition of CoG come into your home for the fiftieth time. We love bringing you these quick or important updates and we look forward to doing it fifty more times.

Carson, CA - The LA Galaxy are in a hole. They haven't scored a goal from open play, and they've lost their first two games of the season for the first time since 2001. And after they were done in by some poor officiating and some even crazier decisions by the Disciplinary Committee, they now must right the ship and travel for their first road game of 2017. And we're going to talk about all of that! Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are here to answer questions, make sense of the nonsense and keep you centered. This is a very zen show that has some great phone calls and some detailed discussion about your favorite team. First Josh and Wendy get into the Galaxy's 1-0 loss to the Portland Timbers. They'll talk about lineup choices, counter attack goals, proper defending, and what we can try to learn from a mostly 10-man performance against a team that looked uninterested in doing any fighting -- just flopping. And there will, of course, be a detailed discussion on what happened to Jelle Van Damme, why he's suspended, and how this makes very little sense when you compare Dave Romney's situation last week, to this week's debacle. Your hosts will also point out some good play from some MLS debutants, and who has been slacking the first two games of the season. Is it too early to Panic? And what does Donal Rumsfeld have to do with soccer? We'll also get some great calls that point us in two different directions. Are the players on the field impressing you? But are you still mad at the front office? Are the Galaxy arrogant? We'll discuss all of that and more. Then your hosts will get you updated on team news. How many games will Sebastian Lletget and Jermaine Jones miss with the National Team?finally get you ready for two winless Western Conference teams Finally, Wendy and Josh will get you ready for two winless Western Conference teams, as the Galaxy face off against Real Salt Lake on Saturday in Sandy, Utah. Neither team has scored a goal from the run of play, and RSL has yet to score at all. Is this a good chance for the Galaxy to get their first win of 2017? And who is traveling, who is staying home, and who should start in the place of all those injuries? It's 60-minutes of wall-to-wall Galaxy talk. And we're always glad you could join us.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy have only hours remaining on the 2017 preseason as they get ready to host Supporters' Shield and U.S. Open Cup Champions FC Dallas on Saturday at StubHub Center. And this show will do a lot to get you ready for that game and what you can expect from a starting lineup. But first, your host Josh Guesman fills you in all the Galaxy news that you may have missed. Including three new signings from LA Galaxy II and what that means for the senior team. You shouldn't be surprised by these moves, after all, we told you to expect the depth of this roster to be filled by "Los Dos." And Speaking of the second team, we're going to be joined by LA Galaxy II Head Coach Mike Muñoz. Mike was just promoted from the academy to taking the job in USL and the Galaxy couldn't have picked a better guy. Mike will update you on how they'll be filling out their roster, how important the Galaxy Academy is, and what style and philosophy they plan on playing. We'll also talk to Mike about his team's plan to hold tryouts in London and Manchester over the summer. What does he hope to get out of that? And why does he think the Galaxy can be successful looking for future players in one of soccer's birth places. Then, Josh will be joined by Fox Sports and ESPN Radio Broadcaster, Dave Denholm. He's also the guy who started the original Galaxy podcast, and he's been a guest Co-Host so many times it's hard to count. But Josh and Dave will regale you with their first meeting, face-to-face, and what it was like to share lunch with Jelle Van Damme at the Galaxy's Media Luncheon. There's some great insight into why Jelle Van Damme is the right guy to be Captain of the Galaxy and why he's the right guy to have in a Galaxy kit. They guys will also talk about Dave's thoughts on the team going into a very difficult matchup with FC Dallas. Finally, Josh gets you ready with a predicted starting lineup for the game against Dallas. And reminds you to GET TO THE GAME EARLY -- you've been warned. This is a matchup that pits the Galaxy up against one of the toughest teams in MLS. And it's a game that the Galaxy will be lucky to keep close. FC Dallas is coming off a CCL victory with a ton of momentum and it will be up to a weakened Galaxy team to try and slow them down. Are you ready for LA's first kick?

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy finally played a game that almost meant something. And your hosts, Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas want to apply meaning to the meaningless and make sense of the senseless. Really that all this show is about. First, they'll focus on the Galaxy's 1-1 draw with Club Tijuana. What can we learn from 22 players playing 45-minutes each? And can any good be taken from two blown chances and some erratic passing? What did Curt Onalfo or Jelle Van Damme think about the game? Josh and Wendy will do their best to point you in the right direction in terms of players that did well and those that struggled. And it's important to point out that those that struggled still have plenty of time to redeem themselves. Next, they focus on what to look for from Saturday's game against San Jose. The game is in Vegas and it's still relatively early in the preseason. So does that mean you should expect more from this game than the last? How long with the "starters" play? And how what will be some good things to come out of this game? Finally, your hosts end the night by going over a mass of Galaxy News. Including, where would you take your LA Galaxy Valentine, what's up with those Blue Kits, and who are LA Galaxy II's new coaches. Plus they're going to dip their toes into the retired number controversy. Was it retired? Who cares? Burn everything? It's a quick 60-minutes focused on your LA Galaxy. And with the season just around the corner, you can almost feel the Opening Day tension start to fill the studio. Don't know if LA supporters have ever had a team that was more of a question mark. This could be a lot of fun. Music Provided By Back Pocket Memory

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are just days away from their first preseason game and your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas want to go back over the most recent news to get a fresh perspective on the signings and on the feelings that may have passed or gotten stronger in the last few days. First, the dynamic duo talks about what losing AJ DeLaGarza really feels like. With some time to process where do you put this deal in your head? Have you come to terms with it? Did the Galaxy actually get this one right? And can you stand seeing DeLaGarza in Orange? The team will have to live with this one and it will be one of the most important tests to see if this new front office has everything figured out. Then Josh and Wendy will transition over to the play of Sebastian Lletget and Jermaine Jones in the USMNT game versus Serbia. Impressed with either of those guys? Is criticism necessary to understand who should play where? And where does Lletget really fit into this Galaxy team? Then it's on to talk about Romain Alessandrini and João Pedro. The Frenchman and the young Portuguese midfielder have joined the LA Galaxy and all seems okay. But should you be worried about an injury riddled past? Or the fact that a 23-year old midfielder is a guy who's before his prime and could go bad on the team? It's a fun discussion and one that is sure to get you thinking about the different roles the LA Galaxy have in their bunker inside StubHub Center. Simple Question: What does Jovan Kirovski do? We'll save that for another show. Finally, your hosts talk about the financial motivation that made Jelle Van Damme a Designated Player and why the Galaxy scored big-time by making all the right moves. Van Damme gets his money, the LA Galaxy get to save some of theirs, it should all work out swimmingly if you ask us. But you didn't. Instead, you asked some other guy and he stole your watch and your wallet. He'll steal your dog next. We warned you. The password is: LA Galaxy Soccer Football Futbol. Thanks for Listening to the show. Thanks for joining us on the LIVE STREAM. And thanks for allowing us to come into your home and office and talk some LA Galaxy with you. Next time we'd like cookies.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are just days away from their first preseason game and your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas want to go back over the most recent news to get a fresh perspective on the signings and on the feelings that may have passed or gotten stronger in the last few days.

CoG Studios, CA - On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy, your hosts, Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano, are joined by MLSSoccer.com contributor Marc Serber (@SoccerSerber). Together, they will attempt to look into the LA Galaxy's defensive issues as well as break down the positional questions that surround who should start and who should play. First, the guys will look at the defensive issues that were very apparent in their 4-2 loss to Seattle on Sunday afternoon. Is Daniel Steres the only person to blame? Or do some of the other players also have some explaining to do? And is this LA team positionally unaware when trying to break down a bunkered-in defense? Ashley Cole, Jelle Van Damme, and even the midfielders and forwards will get pulled into this very important debate. And why can't AJ DeLaGarza find a spot on the field? Is he the fifth best defender? Surely a team that is struggling to find a rhythm defensively could use an MLS Cup winner like AJ. Then your hosts will move on to discuss the positional issues that arise from the healthy return of Steven Gerrard. Is there a way to make everyone fit together? Or should Steven Gerrard be relegated to the bench and be sent off on his retirement? And does Robbie Keane fit into that same role? Should Keane be a super sub for the rest of the season? He has ten goals in 2016, and he just scored two against Seattle. So is this really a question? This is a great show on all the issues the LA Galaxy are facing, and it's being discussed by some of the top journalists watching the LA Galaxy. Won't you join us?

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy aren't even all the way through August yet, but they're wishing it never happened. With an 0-2-4 record the team finishes winless in the month and sees key players go down injured. Not to mention that the style of play and the results were hard to watch for any fan. On today's show your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider, Adam Serrano are joined by Sports Writer for the OC Register and the Southern California News Group, Damian Calhoun. Damian will give his impressions of the August he witnessed as they all try an parse out what the major issue was and what can be done to fix it. They'll talk about key players not living up to the their billing. What have Giovani dos Santos, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane done for the team this year? And why haven't the key talents on this team stepped up? The LA Galaxy have Ashley Cole, Nigel De Jong (for now), Mike Magee and more veteran players that haven't stepped up to stop the bleeding. With only 8 Games left the guys will discuss if there is any way of salvaging momentum going into the playoffs. Especially considering that it looks like three key players of the Galaxy are now out for some period of time (Jelle Van Damme, Steven Gerrard, Gyasi Zardes). It's been a horrible month and everyone is just looking for some perspective. Hopefully this show will key you into the major issues the LA Galaxy have and the mountain they are going to have to scale in order to arrive in the playoffs at all.

CoG Studios, CA - Steven Gerrard had a lot to say after the LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Friday night. And why shouldn't he? He scored the game winner in the 66th minute and has generally been one of the key players for this team. But his comments were especially important when you understand what this team and their locker room looked and felt like in 2015. Landon Donovan had just left, Marcelo Sarvas was gone, and two player, Steven Gerrard and Giovani dos Santos were struggling to adapt to their new team as everyone else was struggling to adapt to them. On this show your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano are joined by Four Four Two USA's Scott French (@ScottJFrench). Together they'll discuss the comments that Gerrard made and try to put them in perspective. What was the locker room like in 2015? How did that differ from the locker room in 2014? And how does that all relate to this year's team in 2016? And with new faces brought in for this team including Nigel De Jong, Ashley Cole, and Jelle Van Damme, did Bruce Arena and the rest of the LA Galaxy go through some dramatic change? Did the Galaxy get tougher but also closer together? Is competition destroying this "coming together?" Or is it fostering the type of atmosphere that breeds championship teams? It's an excellent insight from three of the people who've followed this team the closest during the past three seasons. And it's all about putting you into the locker room so you can understand what kind of work environment these professional athletes inhabit. We can't wait to get started. Corner of the Galaxy is your only place for absolute top notch LA Galaxy discussion. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy fell far short of completing a difficult road match against Toronto over the weekend. Sure they were missing several key players due to injuries and international absences, but is that an excuses for the anemic offense? Your hosts Josh Guesman and, LA Galaxy Insider, Adam Serrano take a look at the 1-0 loss and try to figure out where the Galaxy went wrong. Even with talent missing it's not a stretch of the imagination to say this team is ridiculously talented. They've got players like Ashley Cole, Nigel De Jong, Jelle Van Damme and Sebastian Lletget. So why can't this offense get started. And with the injuries to Steven Gerrard, Giovani dos Santos and Robbie Rogers was it likely that Bruce Arena is playing it safe with a heavily congested schedule on the horizon? The guys will talk about the number of games that are upcoming and why it's so important this LA Galaxy team finds a way to win without all their stars. It's time someone steps up for this team. Who's it going to be? Finally, Josh and Adam talk about the Wednesday night matchup with Colorado. It's "Pride Night" and there are plenty of awesome offers that can see you at the game with only $20 invested. You can also get an awesome scarf and donate to a worthy cause. Visit the LA Galaxy's website for more information (www.lagalaxy.com/pride). But the Colorado Rapids are the best team in Major League Soccer this year. And they continued they're winning ways against Chicago last weekend, even without some of their key pieces. Our hosts tell you why this game is so important and point out some of the key players that might figure in this game. It's a short show for a short week, but we'll be doing this all again on Thursday as the Galaxy prepare for a California Clasico.

We talk the LA Galaxy's draw vs Kansas City with Kevin Baxter, and we work on getting you ready for Sunday's game vs New England. It's another 60 minutes of LA Galaxy talk with Corner of the Galaxy Producer and Co-Host, Josh Guesman. It looks like the rest of the CoG Hosts had a real life and that means Josh gets to do what he loves most - Hear himself talk. First Josh will be joined by LA Times Sports Writer, Kevin Baxter as the two discuss the LA Galaxy's 1-1 draw with Sporting KC in Kansas last Sunday. Kevin will talk about how the Galaxy were dominated during the game, but should actually feel pretty good about the result. And if you still wanted to argue about Ashley Cole's quick yellow cards, the guys will discuss that as well. Then it's off to LA Galaxy News and Injury Updates as Josh walks you through everything that's gone on with LA since the last show. Did Giovani deserve to win MLS Player of the month? And where does Jelle Van Damme stand in regards to his yellow card accumulation? And who's in and who's out with regards to injuries - both LA Galaxy and LA Galaxy II updates. Finally Josh will get you through Western Conference standings, through the LA Galaxy schedule and onto the game vs New England on Sunday at 12:30PM at StubHub Center. What can you expect from a struggling Revs team? There will also be talk of lost bets, a little singing of Queen and lots of "Josh says the stupidest things." But we'll also be reading your emails and playing your calls to the CoG Hotline. It's a packed show and we can't wait for the game on Sunday!

On today's show your hosts talk with LA Galaxy Defender Daniel Steres as they recap Houston and look ahead to Real Salt Lake. On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas do their best to get you ready for the LA Galaxy game on Saturday. They'll first dive into the 4-1 win over the Houston Dynamo. Giovani dos Santos and Steven Gerrard played some of their best soccer yet for the LA Galaxy, but was it their best performance since joining the team? And will some surprising stats change your mind about Giovani dos Santos and his play with the LA Galaxy? And really, you couldn't talk about the Houston game without talking about the form they're in. Houston is not good. But does that mean that LA isn't as good as last Friday says they are? Next, LA Galaxy Defender Daniel Steres joins CoG. Dan talks with Josh about growing up an LA Galaxy fan, about his partnership with Jelle Van Damme, and about his growing confidence and how "visualization" is the key to his success. They'll also take a quick look ahead to the weekend as Steres tells you what he expects from Kyle Beckerman and the rest of the Real Salt Lake offense. Finally, Josh and Wendy cruise through some LA Galaxy news, Josh gets called "out of shape," they answer some tweets and they preview the Saturday night matchup with Real Salt Lake. You better get to StubHub early, or at least earlier than Wendy (Golfing, BBQ, Soccer) because we expect there to be an "adjustment period" for the new security screening rules that MLS put into effect over all 20 MLS teams and venues. But the Real Salt Lake game looks be the best test yet for this relatively young LA Galaxy season. RSL comes into StubHub Center undefeated (last remaining MLS team to be undefeated) and is looking to put a stop to the LA Galaxy's momentum. It's a great show that was live streamed on our youtube channel. You can find that video below. Music Provide and Used with the Permission of Back Pocket Memory.

The LA Galaxy are deep on the defensive side of the ball. And with many players coming back off the injury list, we wanted to know who's in starting backline? On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider, Adam Serrano are joined by Four Four Two's Scott French (@ScottJFrench) to discuss the LA Galaxy's defense. It's an important conversation to understand what this team will have to deal with when and if all their injured players get healthy. Who's your starting backline? Who do you bench? The guys will discuss AJ DeLaGaraza, Daniel Steres, Robbie Rogers, Jelle Van Damme, Ashley Cole and others as they try and figure out who ends up being left out. Bruce Arena has tough decisions to make and that could include benching a player like AJ DeLaGarza. Is AJ's best position in the center of the backline? Or is it out on the right? And if DeLaGarza is playing at right back then where does Robbie Rogers play? Do you bench Daniel Steres if AJ plays at center back? And who plays better in the right back position? Is it AJ or Rogers? There are endless combinations but who gets the start and who gets the bench is up to you! Along the way your hosts will talk about how squad rotation may start to answer some of these questions. After all, this team is filled with players over the age of 30. And maybe you could find a way to move Rogers into midfield? We want to know what you've decided. Hit us up on twitter and lets us know who gets the bench for you starting backline.

On this episode your hosts talk about the draw with Santos Laguna and what the return leg is going to bring. It's another packed episode of Corner of the Galaxy. Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are hot on the trail of the LA Galaxy's lack of offense and their show of defensive prowess against Santos Laguna in the 1st leg of the CONCACAF Champions' League. They'll break down the 0-0 draw and tell you who looked amazing, who looked like they've always been playing together and who looked like they should be benched. Of course it's only one game, but that doesn't mean we've already seen a pattern repeat itself from last season. This episode comes complete with copious amounts of post game audio from Bruce Arena, Jelle Van Damme, Nigel De Jong, and Robbie Keane. Josh and Wendy will tell you why Bruce Arena was "on edge," what De Jong said that had some strange connotation and why Robbie Keane is made at the fans. It's a packed episode that will help you bridge the gap between Wednesday's draw and Tuesday's big matchup in Torreón. And we'll make sure that you understand exactly what the LA Galaxy need to do to advance. We'll also give you the monthly run down of the schedule so you understand exactly where the Galaxy stand with regards to the start of the MLS season.

And while fitness is probably the biggest issue, Josh and Adam will also talk about what the LA Galaxy need to to advance over Santos Laguna. If the Galaxy are looking to hang their hat on defense they might want to take a page out of their previous CCL tournament's playbook. LA has to win this game at home.

Your hosts talk about the preseason matchup with Xolos and what Cole and Van Damme showed us. And they'll be joined by LA Galaxy Associate Head Coach Dave Sarachan. It's an action packed Corner of the Galaxy and your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas want to once again bring you up to date on the LA Galaxy information you've missed since we last met. They'll talk about Ashley Cole and Jelle Van Damme in their preseason, LA Galaxy debut. What did we like from both of them? And what did the Xolos game feel like? This new-look Galaxy team showed some defensive bite but did we witness the beginning of a defense that could be outstanding? How many yellow cards is this team going to get? So many questions it's hard to get to all of them. Josh and Wendy will play some post game audio from Bruce Arena, Ashley Cole, and Jelle Van Damme and give you an insight into the locker room Bruce has created in the offseason and what that means could mean going forward. Then Associate Head Coach Dave Sarachan calls into the show to talk about the new additions, Nigel De Jong in his first training session and who his Soccer Tennis partner is this year (it's only the most hard hitting questions here on CoG). Dave also tells you what to expect from the upcoming Las Vegas game and what it means to play a pre-season Cali-Clasico. Finally, your hosts take your calls as you call in and talk all the LA Galaxy you want. What do you expect from this team and what are you excited about? We let the caller decide. It's a packed show full of tons of LA Galaxy talk and we're so happy that you could join us. 60+ minutes of Galaxy talk is on it's way. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

LA Times' Kevin Baxter talks about the mechanisms, the dealings, and the money involved in the LA Galaxy's off-season moves. On this special edition of Corner of the Galaxy: Short Corner, LA Times Sports Reporter, Kevin Baxter (@Kbaxter11). Kevin will join us to talk about the LA Galaxy's off-season. That includes talking about how the LA Galaxy acquired Ashley Cole, Jelle Van Damme, and Nigel De Jong, and it also includes what each of their contracts looks like (money and terms). Kevin dives into each of these acquisitions with a backstory that is normally glossed over in MLS circles. Did the LA Galaxy use allocation money for the signings? How did Bruce Arena sell these players on the team and the challenges of Major League soccer? Which player had always wanted to make it to the United States and who rehabbed at StubHub Center back when it still the Home Depot Center? FOR MORE INFORMATION READ KEVIN BAXTER'S LA TIMES ARTICLE BY CLICKING HERE But we start with Juninho and Omar Gonzalez departing from the LA Galaxy and Kevin sets the record straight on his conversation with Juninho's agent and the reasons for Juninho seeking out a new home for his soccer skills. Josh and Kevin discuss the rumored numbers that LA received for both Juninho and Gonzalez and how that fits with the rest of the acquisitions Bruce Arena and company made. Kevin Baxter is breaking down the barriers between Major League Soccer and the rest of sports in the United States and we're very lucky to have him on the show so that our listeners can be the most informed fans in the league. You can only find in-depth LA Galaxy news and information right here on Corner of the Galaxy. Thanks for listening. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

Today's show has the guys getting you caught up on everything LA Galaxy. There's been a ton of movement since the start of the 2016 season and your hosts take you though it all. It's another packed show. Your hosts Josh Guesman and Jared DuBois return to get you updated on the 2016 season. Together the guys will update you on Vice President promotions, the signings of Mike Magee, Jeff Larentowicz, Alan Gordon, Emmanuel Boateng and, of course Jelle Van Damme. The man of the hour, Van Damme, has had racism accusations follow him around since 2009. Did the LA Galaxy make a mistake in bringing him into this culturally diverse locker room? Plus the guys will try and disect the depth chart and figure out exactly what Bruce Arena has in mind with all of these "experienced" signings. Is Ashely Cole still coming? What about Nigel De Jong? What happens if the Galaxy can't land De Jong? What formation would you play? Plus the guys will take your calls as you comment on all of this news. The LA Galaxy have signed and re-signed a wealth of soccer talent. But is winning now more important than looking at the future? Finally, the LA Galaxy are on the brink of their first preseason game on Saturday as the welcome FC Shirak back to StubHub. The last time these two teams met was in the 2014 when Gyasi Zardes and Samuel scored for them. It's a packed show full of great LA Galaxy talk and you can only find it right here on Corner of the Galaxy! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory
