Emiro Garces' last-minute mistake caused the Galaxy to hemorrhage more points. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the loss to San Diego and how the Galaxy's endless nightmare has now reached 15 games. Could it go further? And what should the Galaxy do about mistakes so big they make you question the team's structure? Will Vanney need to make an example out of Garces? Or does that hurt the long-term goals of the club?

Ben and Woods go over San Diego FC's stunning win over the LA Galaxy before today's Don't (and Do) Do This and they guys look back at the Padres series in Atlanta against the Bravos

The LA Galaxy are now winless through 15 matches to start the season after their latest defeat, a 2-1 defeat on the final play of the game to San Diego FC on Saturday, May 24, in a match that saw physical play on the pitch and also fans get involved in fisticuffs off of it. The Galaxy scored first in the match again, only to be unable to hold on, after not being able to complete a full 90 minutes, with Emiro Garces' error being the deciding play of the afternoon that gave SD victory. With the Galaxy showing no signs of their malaise abetting, what are the expectations for the rest of their season full of tribulation? Special Guests LAGalaxy_Buzz & GalaxyRunsLA from @Talkingalaxy2025

We're talking about the recent Gold Cup roster that just dropped and reacting to who is in and who missed out. Next we talk about Pulisic being rumored to have asked to not be included in the squad.

But while the draw was entertaining, and the play inspiring, it wasn't enough for the organization to feel immediately justified with Greg Vanney's contract extension. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter go deep on the Galaxy's El Trafico draw -- looking at Marco Reus, Lucas Sanabria, Edwin Cerrillo, and more -- and also dive into the complex issues at hand for the Galaxy's contract extension to Vanney. Josh and Kevin will dig their heels in as they try to find the reasoning for the Galaxy's faith in Vanney and what that means for the rest of the season. Will Vanney escape this winless hell he's currently suffering through? And which side do you fall on? Are you for keeping Vanney or making him win some games first?

Inter Miami has another keeper in house as of Wednesday AMMLSSoccer.com's Dylan Butler looks at the team's other issues, what's wrong with LA Galaxy and the rest of the league as he visits in the midweek

Michelle and Christian break down the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw against rivals LAFC in another electric edition of El Tráfico. Head coach Greg Vanney is working with a roster that feels like a bucket of Legos—no instructions, just scattered pieces he's trying to fit together into something meaningful. We highlight standout performances from Marco Reus, who delivered a trademark free kick, and the growing chemistry between Cerrillo and Sanabria in midfield. From VAR frustrations to flashes of resilience, this episode dives into how the Galaxy are beginning to find their shape—brick by brick.

On the latest State of the Union episode, we highlight the FA Cup triumph for Crystal Palace, who ended a 119-year drought with a 1-0 win over Manchester City. Chris Richards played a starring role, becoming—along with Matt Turner—the first USMNT player to win the FA Cup since Tim Howard in 2004. In the Netherlands, Malik Tillman capped PSV's 3-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam, completing a remarkable Eredivisie turnaround where Ajax went from nine points up to one point behind. In Italy, Juventus took a step toward Champions League qualification as Weston McKennie and Tim Weah featured in a 2-0 win. Roma beat AC Milan 3-1 despite an assist from Pulisic. Meanwhile, Inter and Napoli drew, pushing the Serie A title race to the final day. In Germany, Gio Reyna's late appearance in Dortmund's 3-0 win sealed a UCL spot, though his emotional reaction hinted at a possible farewell. Where would you like Reyna to land next season? In La Liga, Lamine Yamal dazzled again, scoring his 17th goal in all competitions. Is he truly the best player in the world? MLS Rivalry Week saw intense matchups: Reus saved LA Galaxy with a free-kick, while Inter Miami's form collapsed in a 3-0 loss to Orlando. We closed the pid with a breakdown of the U.S. Gold Cup 60-man prelim roster, headlined by Pulisic, Balogun, and Tyler Adams, with debates on sleeper picks like Sebastian Berhalter.

Tony Meola and Benny Feilhaber take the reins of the show - and there's plenty to talk about. The USMNT drops its 60-man preliminary Gold Cup roster, and once again there's no Gio Reyna (04:23). Meanwhile, it was a silverware-stacked weekend for Americans abroad: Chris Richards and Matt Turner made FA Cup history at Wembley, four Yanks helped PSV lift the Eredivisie title, and Damion Downs sealed promotion and a 2. Bundesliga championship (27:06). On the flip side, AC Milan miss out on Europe - could that actually benefit Christian Pulisic (34:50)? Plus, a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 preview (48:17) - can the Pittsburgh Riverhounds play giant-killer again? - and a head-scratcher from LA Galaxy - why announce Greg Vanney's contract extension now (55:20)?

The Los Angeles Galaxy remains winless after 14 matches with their latest 2-2 draw on Sunday, May 18, against LAFC being their latest attempt to get their first three points of the season. Although the Galaxy didn't beat their crosstown rivals, they fought to a come-from-behind tie behind a Marco Reus man-of-the-match performance. The German scored two goals, including the game-tying free kick in the 8th minute to make sure the Galaxy shared bragging rights with LAFC. Special Guests, @NewsAcrosstheGalaxy

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Another disappointing night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Atlanta United, losing 1-0 to Philadelphia who go to the top spot in the Eastern Conference with the win. Personally, there were things I really liked about the shape change to play two central midfielders ahead of one holding midfielder and essentially two up top, although Miguel Almirón was essentially in a free role. However, it wasn't good enough on the night, the Union earned a deserved (although unlucky) penalty and converted to win 1-0. It doesn't get any easier for Atlanta United next weekend as they host the team level on points with Philadelphia in FC Cincinnati on Sunday night. Hot take alert, I'm a fan of the LA Galaxy announcing Greg Vanney's extension on Friday even though the team is still winless in regular season play in 2025. The negotiations started after Vanney won MLS Cup last December and were finalized recently. With the amount of injuries the Galaxy have tried to navigate this season, including to their 4 top attackers, a struggle was inevitable. A knee-jerk reaction to move on from Vanney after he rebuilt the club into a successful winning team would be the wrong move in my opinion. Crystal Palace earned their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup 1-0 over Manchester City. That will qualify them for the Europa League next year, their first time in a major European competition. Chelsea's women completed the domestic treble with their FA Cup win over Manchester United that saw USWNT members Catarina Macario score a goal and Naomi Girma marshal the backline to a clean sheet.Napoli and Inter both drew in Serie A yesterday, taking the title down to the wire. Their matches will be played on Friday with Napoli holding a one point advantage in the table. If they finish the night tied at the top of the standings, there will be a one-game playoff for the league title. PSV and Sporting won the Dutch and Portuguese top flight titles over the weekend respectively. Aberdeen defender Jack Mackenzie was hit by a plastic seat thrown by his own fans, intended for Dundee United fans celebrating on the field after their win that qualified them for Europe at the Dons' expense. He was bloodied and required treatment, the SPFL called the act "moronic". The great-great grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford has become the majority shareholder of Scottish 2nd division side Livingston. Calvin Ford saw his new team win in their promotion semifinal. They will play either Dundee FC or Ross County for an opportunity to earn promotion to the Scottish Premiership. On the Club World Cup front, reports out of Spain indicate that an unnamed Brazilian club has made a "tempting" offer to Cristiano Ronaldo to join them for the tournament. Al Nassr is not in the event and Ronaldo is out of contract on June 30. Al Nassr also missed out on trophies this season and won't be in the Asian Champions League Elite tournament next season. Real Madrid paid the release clause for Bournemouth's CB Dean Huijsen. They have secured their new manager Xabi Alonso for the tournament, are working to bring in Trent Alexander-Arnold for the event as well, and reports indicate they could execute the buyback clause on Como's Nico Paz in time for the tournament as well. They are still chasing a left back too. New ticket options are available at FIFA.com/tickets along with hospitality opportunities at FIFA.com/hospitality.More Espresso coming tomorrow on the SDH Network.

The LA Galaxy remains winless after giving up a two-goal lead to the Philadelphia Union on the road, for the hosts to win 3-2 and take all three points on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The Galaxy started the match well and gave a proper response to their 7-0 defeat in New York, only to throw it all away with a loose defensive performance in the second half. We take a look at how the Galaxy can replicate that great start, how it all went wrong in the second half, and what the Galaxy can do to try and right the ship. With such a mixed performance, which LA Galaxy team will show up for El Trafico, The team that played the Union off the pitch in the first half, or the one that lost the game? Special Guest J.R. Lebert (The Scarf) from @DefendersoftheBanc Podcast

Cristina Alexander, Herculez Gomez, and Shaka Hislop break down Christian Pulisic, Santi Gimenez, and AC Milan failing to win the Coppa Italia.

The LA Galaxy are finding new ways to lose, and it's still utterly heartbreaking. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira will absolutely point out some of the good spots from the Galaxy and how Marco Reus as the false nine really led to a dangerous offensive side for the first time this year. But the second half started badly and ended even worse. Will Greg Vanney have to shoulder the blame alone? And will he be around long enough to get through the rivalry gauntlet the Galaxy are riding?

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. It's rivalry weekend in MLS, and it's kind of fitting that Atlanta hosts Philadelphia on Saturday night. Not sure if the league truly sees it as a rivalry, but it's felt that way on the field over the past few years. Philly won 3-0 earlier this season and Atlanta will be trying to build on their draw in Austin from Wednesday night. Philly came back to win 3-2 on a late goal from Tai Baribo against the LA Galaxy on Wednesday. Georgia HS state champions have been crowned the and the season will come to a close tonight in Duluth and in Macon. It's the 2A state championships in Macon, our friend Matteen Rad will be on the call for the NFHS Network there as Drew Charter's boys face Shaw while Pike County's girls play Savannah Arts. Madison Crews and I will be in Duluth for 5A as Roswell's girls try to finish the season unbeaten as they play Northgate while Sprayberry's boys try to knock off top ranked River Ridge. Join us on the NFHS Network starting at 5pm.Barcelona won their 28th La Liga title against their rivals Espanyol as Lamine Yamal scored another brilliant goal. It's a treble year for the Blaugrana as they added to their previously won SuperCopa and Copa del Rey. However, it wouldn't be Barcelona if there were stories about financial silliness. They're trying to get the VIP ticket sale completed that somehow allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor done in order to help their accounts and salary limit for next season. Watch the video as I try to make sense of it all (probably failing to do so). Be on the lookout on our social media accounts (@SoccerDownHere) for clips from Jude Bellingham today as he spoke to FIFA this week about Real Madrid's ambitions for the upcoming Club World Cup. It's a big opportunity for them to start the Xabi Alonso era off right. They're also trying to add CB Dean Huijsen and LB Alvaro Fernandez ahead of the tournament. Inter is trying to add Marseille winger Luis Henrique as well as 3-4 other players for the tournament. They're also trying to win Serie A and the Champions League before that. They host 5th place Lazio this weekend while league leaders Napoli travel to relegation threatened Parma. A win for Napoli combined with a loss for Inter would send the trophy south to Naples. Anything else sees it come down to the final weekend. More in the video and podcast, Morning Espresso will be back on Monday morning to recap the weekend.Have a great weekend y'all!

Christian and Michelle discuss it all because everything is what is wrong with this team. The LA Galaxy's quality of play and team morale are at an all-time low. After suffering a humiliating 7-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls— a historical low—the team squandered a two-goal lead against Philadelphia, conceding three unanswered goals despite early brilliance from Marco Reus. Now, with El Tráfico looming, Galaxy fans are left clinging to hope for a rivalry win. But another loss at home could break this squad completely. How much longer can we keep carrying water for Greg Vanney? Stay tuned!

Host Thomas Kvaloe discusses the New York Red Bulls latest matches, including their MLS Cup rematch against the LA Galaxy, alongside co-host Sean Casey.

It was a dramatic week for USMNT players abroad, with headlines coming from Italy, the Netherlands, England, and beyond. In Coppa Italia action, Christian Pulisic started for AC Milan as they sought their first cup title since 2003, but it was Bologna who stole the spotlight. Dan Ndoye, who the USMNT will face in June with Switzerland, scored the only goal to lift Bologna to their first major trophy in 51 years. AC Milan now looks ahead to Sunday's critical Serie A matchup against Roma, with Juventus facing Udinese the same day. Elsewhere, Inter take on Lazio and Parma host Napoli in key matchups that could shake up the title race. Over in the Eredivisie, Malik Tillman turned heads with a brace in PSV's 4-1 win over Heracles, while Sergiño Dest returned to form with an assist. Ajax conceded a 90th-minute equalizer, shooting PSV atop the table by a single point with one game remaining. In the English Championship playoffs, Sunderland dramatically advanced past Haji Wright & Coventry thanks to Dan Ballard's 120th-minute goal. The USMNT's fall schedule is taking shape, with two September friendlies announced. The U.S. will face South Korea on September 6th and Japan on September 9th. These matches follow the USMNT's Gold Cup title bid this summer on FOX.  Stateside, MLS Rivalry Week brings intense matchups. Columbus Crew face in-state rivals FC Cincinnati in the Hell is Real Derby. The always-heated Portland vs. Seattle clash follows LAFC's 4-0 rout of Seattle and Portland's 0-0 draw with RSL. In Southern California, LA Galaxy take on LAFC after blowing a lead in a dramatic 3-2 loss to Philadelphia. Inter Miami hosts Orlando after a fiery 3-3 draw where Messi's frustration drew Bruce Arena into the mix Alexi and Mosse wrap the podcast with a question debating if "Golden Goal" should return, and reviews are rolling in for the newly unveiled USMNT and USWNT kits.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Atlanta United came back to level their match at Soldier Field on Saturday, forcing an own goal, but then conceded a late winner to lose in Chicago. Go back and listen to the conversations I had with Ronny Deila and Ronald Hernandez after the match, the frustration is felt by everyone at the moment and they've got to find a way to turn that around quickly as they're next on the pitch in Austin on Wednesday (with gameday high temps set for 106) and back home to face Philadelphia on Saturday.Minnesota dealt Miami their 4th loss in their last 5 games, and barely had the ball in doing so. Danny Musovski in rarefied air for Seattle with goals in five straight games for the Sounders, scoring in their 3-1 win at Houston. NY Red Bulls defeated LA Galaxy 7-0 Saturday night, the worst ever loss for the Galaxy in their 30-year history.Vancouver, after their comeback 2-2 draw against LAFC last night, leads the Supporters' Shield race in MLS while Atlanta is in the bottom five in the league standings. A Classic El Clásico as Barcelona defeated Real Madrid for the fourth time this season, the first time that's been done since 1983. Madrid scored twice in the first 15 minutes through Kylian Mbappe, whose hat trick was wasted, but Barcelona had taken a 3-2 lead 20 minutes after his second goal and then added a 4th before halftime. The second half saw Mbappe complete his hat trick, a number of controversial referee decisions, and Barcelona celebrate essentially winning the league title as they only need one more point in their remaining matches.The managerial carousel is spinning in Madrid, as we expected. Fabrizio Romano reporting this morning that the deal is done for Xabi Alonso to join Real Madrid, and it will happen in time for the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. It will be a three-year contract. The semifinals are set in Mexico's Clausura as Club America will face Cruz Azul and Tigres will face Toluca. Alex Zendejas scored both goals in Las Aguilas win to set up another Mexico City derby, he has to be part of the USMNT this summer as he's had another strong season for Club America. Crazy scenes at the end of the Nottingham Forest 2-2 draw with Leicester as confusion over a late substitution and injury led to sort-of owner Evangelos Marinakis going out on the field and yelling at manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Bad look, but jumping to say that Nuno should resign over it was also over the top. Inter has cut Napoli's lead in Serie A down to one point after winning in a thunderstorm at Torino while Napoli was held to a draw by Genoa in Naples. Plenty more in the Espresso video and audio forms including my thoughts on the whistles at Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool, the dangers of fan-led pitch invasions in celebration, and the risks of pregame and postgame social media trash talk from clubs. More Espresso tomorrow on the SDH Network, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University.
