The bad news? The 0-0 draw at home was convincing at best and downright difficult watch at worst. So what can the Galaxy do? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicholaou discuss the Galaxy's woes in their first 270 minutes of soccer in 2026 and why the midfield still feels disconnected. But maybe the defense is stepping it up while the midfield and offense figure it out? No shots allowed on goal for San Miguelito, and the Galaxy have only given up one goal in the first three games (minus the PK against NYCFC). But can the Galaxy's defense do it all? And what happens if the Galaxy get scored on first? Can the offense figure it out before the pressure really ramps up on this team and the coaching staff? Let's talk! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,270! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2026!

Could Antoine Griezmann really be headed to Orlando City SC — and if so, would he be the one player capable of challenging Lionel Messi for MLS supremacy? We kick things off by diving into the rumor, the fit, and what Griezmann's personality and playing style would mean for the league. Is this realistic, or just classic MLS chaos? Then NJ/NY Gotham FC defender Mandy Freeman joins the show. She reflects on Gotham's improbable championship run, the weight of expectations heading into the new season, and what it's like being a 10-year NWSL veteran who's seen the league evolve from host families and modest crowds to sold-out stadiums. Mandy also opens up about her love of fashion and gives a thoughtful critique of the NWSL's new High Impact Player rule — explaining why raising the ceiling doesn't necessarily raise the floor for players across the league. We wrap with Champions League drama: Weston McKennie continues to shine, but did Juventus FC let him down again? Is it time for him to seek a bigger move? Vinícius Júnior delivers another electric performance against SL Benfica, while FK Bodø/Glimt stun Inter Milan — raising serious questions about what's happening with Italian teams in Europe this season.

It’s the home opener this weekend for my club team, the Colorado Rapids. It has me thinking and reflecting on home. I am a Denver and Colorado native (we’re rare these days). And our beautiful state is surrounded by roadway signs that say “Welcome to Colorful Colorado.” But the signs aren’t what you think that they might be. Today, on the podcast, I reflect more on the “signage” in our life that mark out the home space. The words of Jeremiah, the prophet, to the nation of Israel were filled with hope in a pretty desperate time. He told them, take note of the road. Mark out the signposts. They are words of promise — that a return would happen, that God would be doing a new thing in the land (and to the people). Those promises are true for us, today, as well. 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.

00:01 Prologue02:53 Jingle03:31 Entrevue Rocco Placentino du FC Supra33:51 Défaite 5-0 face à San Diego58:20 Antoine Griezmann vers la MLSDans cet épisode du podcast CCPP, on reçoit Rocco Placentino du FC Supra pour une entrevue à un mois du début de la saison inaugurale en Première Ligue canadienne (CPL). Où en est réellement le projet ? Le club est-il prêt pour le saut dans le soccer professionnel canadien ?On parle d'abord de l'exposure international du FC Supra, avec des mentions médiatiques majeures à la BBC, à The Guardian, à Globo et à Diário AS. Comment un nouveau club québécois réussit-il déjà à attirer l'attention en Europe et en Amérique du Sud? Est-ce un effet de nouveauté ou le signe d'un projet structuré et ambitieux?On aborde aussi l'arrivée prochaine d'une expérience CPL au sein du staff, un élément clé pour naviguer la réalité de la ligue, comprendre le calendrier, le recrutement et la gestion d'effectif dans un contexte canadien. La discussion dérive naturellement vers la concurrence entre la NCAA et la CPL : est-ce que la ligue canadienne peut vraiment devenir une alternative crédible au parcours universitaire américain pour les jeunes talents québécois?Autre point central : les liens de partenariats entre le FC Supra et les clubs amateurs du Québec. Est-ce qu'on parle d'un vrai réseau de développement local ou d'un simple branding stratégique? Et surtout, on pose la question que plusieurs se posent en coulisses : l'avenir financier de la concession. Modèle durable ou pari risqué?En deuxième partie, on revient sur la lourde défaite du premier match du CF Montréal qui ramène plusieurs observateurs exactement au même point qu'à la fin de la saison 2025.Le pressing individuel partout sur le terrain soulève des inquiétudes chez les partisans et dans les médias. Est-ce une identité forte ou une vulnérabilité tactique qui pourrait coûter cher en MLS?On ouvre aussi la discussion sur la rumeur entourant une possible arrivée d'Antoine Griezmann en Major League Soccer. Pendant que certains marchés rêvent de grands noms, Montréal peut-il encore aspirer à attirer ce type de joueur vedette dans le futur?—

And neither of the games is anything approaching great soccer! But are there trends that we can identify early on? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Damian Calhoun (Southern California News Group) discuss the 1-1 draws to both Sporting San Miguelito and New York City FC. They are two different games with two different versions of the Galaxy. But the results were the same. So is this version of the Galaxy a defensive team? Is this version of the Galaxy working on offense? Is this version of the Galaxy missing pieces in the midfield? Let's talk about what actual competitive soccer means and what to expect on the return leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup. -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,270!

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola kick off with the latest Americans Abroad headlines. Ricardo Pepi is back from injury and back to doing Ricardo Pepi things -smashing in golazos for PSV - while Tyler Adams also made a welcome return for Bournemouth (07:47). The crew also reacts to Antonee Robinson's ankle injury and assesses next man up at left back should the Fulham stalwart be unavailable in the summer (13:53). And Weston McKennie looks reborn under Luciano Spalletti, with reports swirling that a contract extension at Juventus could soon follow (24:59). Then, the guys are joined by USMNT and MLS royalty as Cobi Jones joins ahead of LA Galaxy unveiling his statue (32:32). Cobi reflects on what the honor means, helping to inspire a generation of Black players, and why a home World Cup could be transformational for today's squad. The crew closes things out with their biggest takeaways from a thrilling opening weekend of Major League Soccer action - RBNY's teenage dreamers, LAFC's statement win over Messi & co., and other early storylines to watch (1:05:32).

LAFC sent a loud message in their 3-0 dismantling of Inter Miami, and it wasn't just about the scoreline. Los Angeles FC looked sharp, organized, and ruthless, while Inter Miami CF looked frustrated and overwhelmed. We break down what went wrong for Miami, what this result means long-term, and whether Lionel Messi's heated postgame interaction with referees is a sign of deeper cracks. Plus, we recap the rest of MLS opening weekend and highlight the teams that set the tone early. Across the pond, the Premier League title race is heating up once again. Manchester City and Arsenal continue to push each other to the limit at the top of the table. Can City pull off another late surge, or is this finally Arsenal's year? We examine the remaining fixtures, squad depth, and pressure points that could decide the title. Off the pitch, concerns are growing around the 2026 tournament. With New Jersey canceling its World Cup fan zone and Gillette Stadium reportedly resisting FIFA licensing without additional funding, we ask whether the 2026 World Cup is starting to show serious organizational strain. Is this just early logistical turbulence—or a warning sign for what's ahead? Timestamps: (7:00) – LAFC thrash Messi and Inter Miami (23:00) - MLS opening weekend recap (32:00) – Arsenal and Man City continue to battle in PL title race (47:45) – World Cup in danger of falling apart already?

Few figures have shaped modern American soccer more profoundly than Alan Rothenberg ("The Big Bounce: The Surge That Shaped the Future of U.S. Soccer") — and in this revelatory conversation, he tells the story in his own words. Best known as the founding architect of Major League Soccer and the driving force behind the record-breaking 1994 FIFA World Cup, Rothenberg's influence on the game in the United States stretches back decades earlier than most fans realize. Long before MLS kicked off in 1996, he was immersed in the sport's early, fragile professional era. In the late 1960s, Rothenberg worked alongside Jack Kent Cooke in the United Soccer Association, helping operate the Los Angeles Wolves — an ambitious effort to import top international clubs to American audiences. He later held a brief ownership stake in the Los Angeles Aztecs of the North American Soccer League, gaining firsthand insight into the promise and ultimate collapse of pro soccer's first boom-and-bust cycle in the U.S. A pivotal turning point came when Rothenberg ran the soccer competition for the 1984 Summer Olympics. At a time when many doubted the American market, the tournament drew unexpectedly strong crowds — helping persuade FIFA that the United States could successfully host a World Cup. As president of the United States Soccer Federation from 1990 to 1998, Rothenberg delivered on that promise. The 1994 World Cup became the most financially successful in history to that point, and he fulfilled the bid commitment to launch MLS — creating the stable Division I league that had eluded the country for generations. He also chaired the 1999 Women's World Cup, another watershed moment. In this candid interview, Rothenberg reflects on risk, resistance, political maneuvering, and the long game of institution-building — offering rare, behind-the-scenes insight into how American soccer finally found its footing. + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "The Big Bounce: The Surge That Shaped the Future of U.S. Soccer": https://amzn.to/4kSgacQ SPONSOR THANKS:  Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

For the Glory KC is back with the 168th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City kicked off the 2026 Major League Soccer season and for 38 minute it was going pretty well.Then Justin Reynolds went down with a "soft tissue" injury, and everything had to be shuffled around and the team collapsed. While the team put out, and the broadcast mimicked, that it was a 4-3-3, the team was definitely in their 4-4-2 defensive shape we talked about earlier this week. Jake Davis took the Daniel Salloi role and played quite well until he was forced to move to right back.We talk through all the beats of the game and what stood out to us. And the gif of the season.Speaking of Salloi, we discussed that trade and the additions to the team since our last episode of the podcast. We also get into David Lee's press conference promising "three to six" additions to the roster before the primary transfer window closes on March 26th.The KC Current basically were radio silent this week. We did sneak in some former players appearance at the SKC/SJ game into the podcast.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:Toronto FC's splash transfer of Josh SargentSheena wants to handle the Messi update?!?Here is a rundown of topics and start times:Former KC Current Player Sightings - 5:39Sporting KC trade Salloi and add two signings - 8:25SKC versus San Jose - 28:25David Lee presser and SKC round-up - 59:21Coachella Valley Invitational - 1:20:24Digital Crawl - 1:31:25As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

Atlanta Soccer Tonight kicks off a special season preview edition as Atlanta United opens its 10th campaign this weekend in Cincinnati. Jason Longshore is joined in studio by Abe Gordon, Madison Crews, Jon Nelson, and Jarrett Smith to lay out the non-negotiables for 2026: heart, resilience, structure, and the relentless principles of a Tata Martino team. The crew also goes around Major League Soccer to assess how contenders like Inter Miami are reloading, where Cincinnati fits as the Week 1 measuring stick, and what tier Atlanta belongs in as the season begins. Plus, Mike Conti calls in to reflect on Atlanta's decade of unforgettable moments, the World Cup coming to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and what 2026 could mean for the future of MLS in this market. Hour 1 sets the table for a defining season — and the next chapter of Atlanta United.

Atlanta Soccer Tonight delivers a special two-hour season preview edition as Atlanta United opens its 10th season this weekend in Cincinnati. Jason Longshore is joined by Abe Gordon, Madison Crews, Jon Nelson, and Jarrett Smith to lay out what Atlanta must become in 2026: the non-negotiables, Tata Martino's tactical fingerprints, and what early success should actually look like. The crew also goes around Major League Soccer to assess how contenders have spent the offseason, why the Eastern Conference remains unforgiving, and where Atlanta fits in the league's evolving hierarchy. Mike Conti joins the show to reflect on Atlanta's decade-long rise, the World Cup coming to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and what the next era means for the city and for MLS. Plus, the team breaks down the most revealing comments from Steven Alzate and Juan Berrocal — from sprint-heavy intensity to the “protagonist” mentality of playing fearless, vertical soccer — and how it shapes expectations for Saturday. The night closes with Atlanta United at 10 memories, wildest matches, favorite kits, and the signature 3-4-3: critical players, defining themes, and reasons to smile heading into Year 10.

Every season, there is usually a team or two that acknowledges a “rebuilding” year. It can come with a transition of a new coach, an influx of several athletes, changes in management, or the loss of key individuals upon whom the organization was depending on. Rebuilding is never easy — especially after a devastating loss (like the California wildfires of 2025) where a whole community suffers or is destroyed. How does one rebuild in such times. Today, on the podcast, as we begin the season of Lent and prepare for the start of Major League Soccer, rebuilding begins with a right heart posture. Isaiah 58 sets the stage as we consider what it looks like to get right with God so that He might be our help and our support. It isn’t about a false religiosity, rather it’s about how our Sunday-morning selves live out the rest of our faith walk throughout the week — whether in our jobs, our homes, our schools, or elsewhere. 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.

Hosts Gerasimos Gerovasiliou and John Halwood are joined by Santiago Zuluaga and Nick Boehm to discuss the UEFA Champions League and recent Concacaf Champions Cup matches, in addition to a preview of the upcoming Major League Soccer season.

In this edition of Kim on a Whim, Kim St. Onge calls out the hypocrisy surrounding St. Louis City SC's new restrictions at CITYPARK—now rebranded as Energizer Park. After previously ejecting a fan for wearing a MAGA hat, the team now bans Black Lives Matter and transgender pride flags under Major League Soccer's code of conduct. Kim and Dan Buck debate whether teams should enforce neutrality or allow all viewpoints, warning that inconsistent “inclusivity” rules only fuel division. Their verdict: let fans be free—just keep the politics off the field.
