Rain delays and stagnant performances across the board for LA caused the game to fall flat at all levels.

Plus, the guys will look at the Galaxy's salary situation and why they're paying more point than anyone in MLS. Is there something to be learned behind the numbers?

The LA Galaxy continues its 2025 campaign by traveling to face the Colorado Rapids on Wed, June 25, in another midweek game that sees the reigning champs play two times in four days. With Colorado holding ninth place, the last playoff spot, the Galaxy will need to take advantage of a massive six-point match against a weakened Rapids side. But with everything pointing to a winnable game, will the Galaxy actually be able to take advantage of their favorable conditions and get another win to start moving up the table?

That might make you ask why we're having a show. And that's a good question. For now, we'll just say the internet didn't want to work, Teams wouldn't connect, and the SD Card got full about 20 minutes into the show. Still, we move on! What one thing has you most disappointed in the 2025 season? What players have made you question your faith in the beautiful game, and what loss has pulled your hair out? On today's show, we'll talk about why the Lakers being sold has a link to the Galaxy and why the Galaxy could be next. Plus, which jerseys are selling the best across the league? We've got 60 minutes of Galaxy talk when all anyone wants to discuss is how no one is going to Gold Cup matches.

In this episode, Michelle and Christian unpack the LA Galaxy's dramatic 3-3 draw against St. Louis CITY SC on June 14, 2025. Gabriel Pec nets a brace, Matheus Nascimento scores his first MLS goal, and Marco Reus adds two assists—but it's not enough to secure the win. We reflect on the team's need for resilience, missed chances, and late defensive lapses that cost LA two crucial points. We discuss key performances, tactical trends, and what's next as the Galaxy prepare for a high-altitude clash in Colorado after the international break.
Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we're trying to find joy in tough times. We discuss the Club Word Cup so far. Has it been a predictable flop? How will this be used as a test run for the World Cup next summer? Has anyone been deported by ICE? Then we analyze that 0-1 loss to Orlando City. The boys break down how it was worryingly similar to the Austin FC loss. That was a bad goal conceded by Nico Hansen. We discuss what's wrong the attack, Cole Bassett, and Chris Armas working on that puzzle. Have the Rapids been found out? We have thoughts. Then we discuss the 30th anniversary third kit the club will be launching on for the match at Seattle Sounders on June 16. There's some hidden clues in that Tweet. Lastly, we preview the next game against LA Galaxy. Should win? Must win? What's wrong with the last place Gs and how can Colorado capitalize on that?

While the effort was there, the results were not. And the constant capitulation in the face of victory -- or more points -- has everyone pegging the Galaxy as the 15th-best team in the Western Conference. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-3 draw with St. Louis and why Marco Reus, Gabriel Pec, and Matheus Nascimento showed up -- for the most part. Can the Galaxy get their offense going now that they scored three goals for the first time in 2025? Can the defense rise to the occasion? Or have Maya Yoshida and Zanka worn out their welcome?

The LA Galaxy was unable to add any W's to the win column, as they drew 3-3 in a back-and-forth contest against St. Louis City on Saturday, June 14. The Galaxy had opportunities to put this match away, but fell behind once again after sourning their chances. They fought back twice, and seemed destined for three points, when Joao Klauss thurndered home a volley in injury time to deny the Galaxy a second win on the season. With the Galaxy offense finally waking up with three goals and plenty of chance, what will it take to have the defensive end follow suit and put in the performances that took it to MLS Cup last year? Special Guest Co-Host of the Simply Soccer Pod, Christian Conway

In golf, Sam Burns leads the U.S. Open with Adam Scott and Scottie Scheffler in pursuit. The Florida Panthers are one win from the Stanley Cup, and STL City SC draws 3-3 with the LA Galaxy despite a hat trick from Joao Klauss.

St. Louis CITY SC faced a tough defeat at the hands of the Portland Timbers, losing 2-1 at Providence Park. Despite outshooting the Timbers nine to five in the first half, CITY SC's hard work was rewarded when Akil Watts scored his first career MLS goal in the 50th minute. However, Portland equalized shortly after, and David Ayala sealed the victory in second-half stoppage time.Brendan McSorley made his first MLS appearance for CITY SC, marking the first time they have failed to pick up at least one point at Providence Park since 2023. Caretaker manager David Critchley praised the team's back four for their defensive efforts, noting that they had been creating more chances and playing more strategically under his tutelage.The team's recent performances under Critchley have been encouraging, with an increase in possession and goal scoring opportunities. As CITY SC prepares to face the LA Galaxy next on June 14, the team is optimistic about their future, with Critchley emphasizing the importance of staying positive and excited about their progress.The match was marked by several yellow cards, including one for Antony of the Timbers.
