But on Sunday, the Galaxy will finally play their first game in front of fans. So what will we learn? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the Galaxy's upcoming trip to Coachella and what the desert tournament could show. Will it be a defensive team that doesn't need a 10?

Or will it be Joseph Paintsil and Gabriel Pec running rampant through the midfield on their way to more goals? Let's find out what you'll be seeing -- besides our live show following the game!

Legendary commentator Derek Rae joins Christian and Alexis for a wide-ranging conversation on soccer, culture, and storytelling. From his upbringing in Scotland to his deep connection with German football, Derek explains how his love for languages and history shaped his broadcasting career—and why getting players' names right is about far more than phonetics. He shares a powerful story about the real impact correct pronunciation can have on players and their families.Derek also takes listeners behind the scenes of how he became the voice of EA FC, revealing what the audition process was like, how the opportunity came together, and what it means to be recognized worldwide through a video game. Along the way, he reflects on the evolution of soccer media, iconic broadcasting moments, and the responsibility that comes with being a trusted voice of the sport.Finally, the conversation dives into the global game itself. Derek breaks down the cultural differences between MLS and European leagues, explains why Germany has become such fertile ground for American players, and offers thoughtful insight into the unique identity of soccer fandom in the United States. It's a smart, funny, and deeply human conversation with one of the most respected voices in the game. Timestamps:(2:00) – Why pronouncing player names correctly is important to Derek Rae(10:45) - Derek Rae's soccer origin story(15:00) – How Europeans currently perceive MLS(23:45) – Is Germany the best place for Americans to develop?(35:00) – Is 2026 the year where the US becomes a real soccer country?(39:00) - How Derek Rae became the voice of EA FC Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

We’re in the midst of a series on how to handle temptation. Logismos (a Greek word describing those obtrusive, invading thoughts that assault our minds) has a number of stages that we go through, but ultimately, its path leads to destruction. James 1 has an excellent description of the nature of temptation — it’s source, how we often fall for it, and what it eventually leads to. Today, on the podcast, we look at stage 3 — consent. This is when we make a willful decision to act. This is when we commit sin — the dialogue wrestling is over and we’ve given over and given in to what likely began as a subtle whisper. But just because we fail, just because we fall doesn’t mean that we give up. There’s a pathway toward still resisting and still trying to be in proximity with God. We look at a few different passages to help us realize what this stage looks like and how we need to respond. From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer). Also, don’t forget that you can listen in our app, SoccrChapUtd, in the Apple and Google store.

And the first stop is St. Louis, where they're tossing $2-million at Joao Klauss in hopes the 28-year-old striker can answer all their goal-scoring problems. But is the DP too big a spot to spend on an MLS striker who has never scored more than 10 goals in a season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's interest in Klauss and why his DP contract could be a longer-term player for the striker than just this year. But what about the 10 spot? What about Jakob Glesnes and Justin Haak? Can John Nelson's new contract mean Julian Aude's time with LA is limited?

Last week, we started to look at how to handle temptation — the nature of the logismos (those obtrusive, invading thoughts) that get into our minds, into our heads. Stage 1 was about seeing and recognizing that temptation is pretty common and the thought (the whisper, the suggestion) isn’t itself sin, but it can lead there pretty quickly if we aren’t ready and aren’t prepared or strong enough spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Today, on the podcast, we look at stage 2 — the dialogue. There tends to be this conversation that goes on in our head. It can be positive or negative depending on where we are at with things, but how to we best handle the inner dialogue and learn one of the best ways that God has given us a way to come out from underneath the attack? The answer is found in the Bible. Actually, the answer is the Bible, God’s Holy Word. We look at the temptation of Jesus as an exampeland template for how we ought to handle the dialogue phase and be ready for temptation when it comes. From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.
