On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy, Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou examine the Western Conference playoff race, the pressure surrounding Greg Vanney, and why Saturday's road matchup against Minnesota United could be pivotal to LA's postseason hopes.  There's encouraging LA Galaxy injury news ahead of Minnesota. Sergi Roberto is trending in the right direction after his shoulder injury and could return sooner than initially feared. Elijah Wynder is also nearing availability, while Marco Reus is expected to be ready for Saturday. Plus, João Klauss discusses the physical and mental challenges of his injury recovery and return to the field.  The show also breaks down the Galaxy's 2026 roster construction and MLS salary mechanisms, including newly released General Allocation Money figures, Designated Players, U22 Initiative players, TAM contracts and international roster slots. After a significant summer roster overhaul, has Will Kuntz given Vanney the pieces necessary to reach the playoffs? And Chucky Lozano earns a return to the Mexican National Team as he prepares to play a major role in LA's stretch run.  Finally, Josh and Sophie preview LA Galaxy vs. Minnesota United and what the Galaxy need on the road. Six of LA's final eight games come against teams directly involved in the playoff battle, meaning the opportunity is still there. But with the season rapidly approaching its conclusion, the Galaxy need results — and their playoff push needs to start now.  -- Follow Corner of the Galaxy All Season Long Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18 and has surpassed 1,300 episodes! As the longest-running team-specific podcast in Major League Soccer, we've been covering the LA Galaxy through championships, rebuilds, blockbuster signings, unforgettable moments, and everything in between.

Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter break down a match the Galaxy needed to win, from missed opportunities in front of goal to the defensive breakdown that allowed Seattle to equalize in the closing minutes. LA created chances but couldn't find the second goal, continuing a season-long problem of failing to turn leads into victories.  Now the MLS Cup Playoff race gets even more difficult. The Galaxy remain alive in a crowded Western Conference, but the Seattle draw puts even more pressure on their remaining eight games. LA hasn't won consecutive matches all season, yet the teams surrounding them are struggling too, leaving an unlikely opening if the Galaxy can finally find some consistency. The problem? After failing to capitalize at home, they now need to start finding points on the road — beginning with Minnesota United.  The biggest concern, however, may be Sergi Roberto's shoulder injury. Roberto appeared at the Galaxy's season-ticket event with his arm in a sling, and his potential absence could remove one of the most important pieces of LA's rebuilt midfield. Marco Reus also left the Seattle match with a groin concern, while Joseph Paintsil continues to work through a thigh issue. For a Galaxy team whose improved depth was supposed to become an advantage down the stretch, another wave of injuries could dramatically change the playoff equation.  Josh and Kevin also revisit Saturday's Corner of the Galaxy LIVE show with Riqui Puig, Will Kuntz and Tom Braun, including Puig's emotional return to the spotlight and his emphatic support of head coach Greg Vanney. That leads directly into the growing questions surrounding Vanney's future: is making the playoffs enough, and what happens if the Galaxy fall short? The discussion examines both Vanney's 2024 MLS Cup championship and a Galaxy team that has struggled to produce consistent results in 2026.  Finally, the Galaxy turn their attention to Minnesota United and a road match that could define their playoff push. Lucas Calegari's return provides a boost, and LA suddenly has more options off the bench, but draws aren't going to be enough forever. Minnesota sits right in the same congested portion of the Western Conference table, making Saturday another opportunity to take three points while denying them to a direct competitor. The Galaxy survived Seattle, but they lost another precious week — and the clock on their 2026 season is getting louder.  -- Follow Corner of the Galaxy All Season Long Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18 and has surpassed 1,300 episodes! As the longest-running team-specific podcast in Major League Soccer, we've been covering the LA Galaxy through championships, rebuilds, blockbuster signings, unforgettable moments, and everything in between.

Faced with a midweek road game on turf against the Western Conference leaders — and another match just three days later — LA rotated several important pieces out of the starting lineup. Sergi Roberto, Marco Reus and Eric Thommy were among those protected, and the result was a 3-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps. Was it the right gamble? That's the question hanging over Saturday night's matchup with the Seattle Sounders. Vancouver was simply better. The Whitecaps played with more intensity, pressured the Galaxy into mistakes, and punished the little details LA failed to execute. A quick throw helped create the opening goal, a turnover contributed to another, and Vancouver never really allowed the Galaxy to establish control. The performance also revived a familiar concern: why does this Galaxy team continue to struggle matching its opponent's intensity at the beginning of games and coming out of halftime? Josh and Eric debate how much belongs to the players, how much belongs to Greg Vanney, and whether recurring fundamental mistakes inevitably bring the conversation back to coaching. One player who continues to escape criticism is JT Marcinkowski. Somehow, in a game the Galaxy lost by three goals, their goalkeeper was still arguably their best player. Marcinkowski made six saves and continued a remarkable season that has Josh arguing he deserves serious recognition among the league's top goalkeepers. There are bigger questions developing further up the field. Kyogo Furuhashi still can't find his first Galaxy goal, despite repeatedly getting himself into dangerous positions. Chucky Lozano continues to show the intelligence, movement and ability that made him such an intriguing addition, but the Galaxy are still waiting for everything to click in the final third. And with the season entering its final stretch, the discussion is beginning to shift toward a larger roster question: which players are demonstrating that they're worth occupying the Galaxy's most valuable roster spots going forward? The numbers explain why those questions matter. The Galaxy have now been shut out four times in their last 10 games, and their projected offensive output remains well below what LA produced during its 2024 MLS Cup season. The defense has improved compared with last year, but the offense simply hasn't provided enough support. And yet, remarkably, the playoff door remains open. LA has 29 points through 25 games, exactly where the club stood through 25 games in 2023. Despite Wednesday's loss, the Galaxy remain within touching distance of the playoff line. That makes the games against teams around them far more consequential than losing on the road to first-place Vancouver. Which brings everything back to Seattle. The Sounders arrive in Carson winless in 11 MLS matches, and they're sitting right alongside the Galaxy near the bottom of the Western Conference. These are two teams with remarkably similar statistical profiles, both desperate for points and both running out of opportunities to change their seasons. If the Galaxy's decision in Vancouver was partly about protecting players for Saturday, then Saturday has to justify the gamble. Josh lays out a simple path: LA has five home games remaining. Win those five and the Galaxy would add 15 points, reaching 44 — a total that could put them into the postseason conversation without requiring them to suddenly become an excellent road team. But once LA starts dropping points at home, the math becomes considerably more difficult.

The LA Galaxy finally gave us a glimpse of what this rebuilt roster might actually look like when the pieces start fitting together. LA's 2-1 win over the New England Revolution wasn't perfect. New England piled up shots, hit the woodwork three times and eventually broke through from the penalty spot late. But for long stretches, the Galaxy looked more composed, more mature and — perhaps most importantly — more difficult to break down. And a lot of that starts with Sergi Roberto. In his first Galaxy start, the former Barcelona captain brought something LA has desperately needed: stability in the center of the field. Roberto's positioning, decision-making and ability to progress the ball changed the Galaxy's shape on both sides of the ball. With Roberto sitting underneath Marco Reus and Eric Thommy, LA suddenly looked like a team capable of possessing the ball with a purpose instead of simply possessing it. The second goal provided the perfect example. Roberto helped turn possession out of the back into a quick attacking move that eventually went through Reus and Chucky Lozano before finding Robert Taylor for the finish. It was the kind of direct, decisive possession that reminded Josh of the Galaxy's 2024 attack — and it gave Taylor his first goal in 14 months. But the bigger story may be what all these additions have done to the roster. Taylor earned a start and scored. Pablo Ruiz came off the bench and helped LA manage the closing stages. Lucas Sanabria suddenly becomes another midfield option rather than someone the Galaxy have to rely upon every week. João Klauss is getting closer to returning. And once Lucas Calegari receives the necessary clearance, LA could have another veteran option available at right back. Even JT Marcinkowski deserves another spotlight. His six-save performance helped protect the Galaxy's lead, and Josh makes the case that Marcinkowski deserves consideration for Comeback Player of the Year after returning from a devastating injury and becoming one of LA's most dependable players. Now comes the reality check. The Galaxy have won just twice in their last 11 games, and one good Saturday doesn't erase everything that came before it. But they're sitting on 29 points with 10 games remaining, and the Western Conference playoff race remains incredibly compressed. The upcoming schedule also puts LA directly against several of the teams fighting for those same postseason spots. First comes a difficult trip north. The Galaxy face the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday night, where the challenge isn't necessarily proving that Saturday was the beginning of some unstoppable run. It's showing that this new version of the Galaxy can reproduce the stability, discipline and attacking movement that finally appeared against New England. Vancouver is favored, LA may have to rotate, and stealing points on the road would provide another significant boost before Saturday's home matchup with Seattle. Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter break down the New England victory, Sergi Roberto's immediate influence, Robert Taylor's breakthrough, JT Marcinkowski's season, the Galaxy's newfound depth, the increasingly crowded Western Conference playoff race and what LA needs to accomplish Wednesday night in Vancouver. For the first time in a while, the Galaxy aren't just talking about what this roster could become. Against New England, we finally got to see it.

Calegari's return might be the most intriguing move. The former Galaxy Defender of the Year is healthy, experienced in the system and eager to return to Los Angeles. But his arrival also creates legitimate competition with Harbor Miller, whose emergence has been one of the more encouraging developments of the season. Could the Galaxy find ways to use both? Then there's Ruiz. The experienced MLS midfielder gives LA another option in the middle and could help reshape how Sergi Roberto, Lucas Sanabria, Marco Reus and Justin Haak are used down the stretch. Roberto already offered a glimpse against San Diego of the progressive passing and creativity he can bring from deeper positions. One departure, however, deserves a closer look. Ruben Ramos Jr. has been loaned to Sporting Kansas City through the 2027 sprint season in exchange for $75,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money, with a purchase option included. After Ramos showed signs of breaking through, is regular playing time elsewhere exactly what he needs — or should the Galaxy have found those minutes at home? Now comes the part that matters. The Galaxy have 11 games and 33 available points remaining. They're still within striking distance of the playoff line, but the required pace from here is daunting. And Saturday's home match against fourth-place New England Revolution provides an immediate test of whether this remodeled roster can turn potential into points. There are reasons for optimism. Chucky Lozano is beginning to show his difference-making ability, João Klauss appears close to returning, Roberto should be ready for a larger role, and the Galaxy suddenly have more legitimate lineup options than they've had for much of the season. Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira break down a surprisingly busy transfer window, Calegari's return, what Ruiz adds to the midfield, the Ramos loan, LA's increasingly veteran roster, and a New England matchup that could tell us whether this late-season rebuild arrived in time. The Galaxy have changed the roster. Now we get to find out whether they've changed their season. -- Follow Corner of the Galaxy All Season Long Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18 and has surpassed 1,300 episodes! As the longest-running team-specific podcast in Major League Soccer, we've been covering the LA Galaxy through championships, rebuilds, blockbuster signings, unforgettable moments, and everything in between.

The LA Galaxy are refusing to let their season die. After battling through back-to-back matches with 10 men, emerging connections between Marco Reus, Harbor Miller and Joseph Paintsil — plus the additions of Kyogo Furuhashi and Chucky Lozano — have suddenly put the playoffs within reach. Michelle and Christian break down JT Marcinkowski's heroics, the Galaxy's troubling discipline issues, the bigger pattern of inconsistency between MLS Cup-winning seasons, and the question heading into Montreal: are the Galaxy truly rising from the ashes, or is this another temporary spark?

A 1-1 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes featured flashes of promise, another strong performance from Marco Reus, a breakthrough goal from Joseph Paintsil, and a dramatic penalty save from JT Marcinkowski in the final moments to preserve the result. But despite the resilient finish, the Galaxy slipped to 11th place in the Western Conference and continue searching for the consistency needed to climb back into the playoff race. On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy, Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss whether the point gained in the Cali Clásico is something the Galaxy can build upon or simply another example of a team struggling to capitalize on its chances. They also examine Joseph Paintsil's finishing, Harbor Miller's continued emergence, the pressure surrounding Greg Vanney, and why the Galaxy's home form has become their biggest obstacle. The show also dives into Dylan Vanney's loan to Real Betis, the latest on Kyogo Furuhashi's arrival, the Galaxy's remaining transfer plans before the September 2 deadline, and why another impact signing may still be necessary if the club hopes to make a serious playoff push. Can the Galaxy finally build momentum, or are they running out of time?

"Eine Küche ist ein brodelnder, viel zu heißer Ort“, sagt Andreas Jendryan. Was essen eigentlich Fußballprofis? Wie gelingt "das perfekte Porridge"? Und welche BVB-Ikone war absoluter "Kartoffelpüree-Ultra"? Andreas "Andi" Jendryan ist der Küchenleiter bei unserer Profimannschaft und sorgt täglich dafür, dass unsere Spieler bestmöglich versorgt sind – ob im Trainingsalltag, rund um die Spiele oder auf Reisen im In- und Ausland. Andi gibt spannende Einblicke in die Ernährungswelt des Profifußballs, spricht über vegane Ernährung und Cheat Days im Sport. Hättet ihr gedacht, dass ein Schnitzel 48 Stunden vor einem Spiel ein No-Go ist? In den mehr als 60 Minuten vom BVB-Trainingsgelände geht es aber nicht nur um die Profis. Auch alle, die sich selbst gesünder ernähren wollen, können aus der Folge einiges mitnehmen. Reinhören lohnt sich also.

Er arbeitet also im Merchandising. Die ersten Monate musste sich der gebürtige Münsterländer manchmal kneifen, wenn er in der Geschäftsstelle unterwegs war: arbeiten beim Herzensverein. Die Bilder von BVB-Legenden auf den Fluren erinnern Pippo immer wieder daran, dass für ihn ein Traum wahr wurde. Was er genau beim Merchandising macht, welche Rolle Marco Reus dabei spielt und wie er zum Büro-DJ einer ganzen Etage wurde, verrät unser Gast in der aktuellen Folge von "Flutlicht & Flipcharts".

Eli and Pedro discussed a week full of matches for BVB, including the Leverkusen elimination at the Pokal, the league win over Hoffenheim, and the draw versus Bodø in the Champions League — what a way to honor Marco Reus at the Signal Iduna Park.

The chippy affair saw the Galaxy score twice, with both coming through the foot of Marco Reus. Have we seen a Galaxy side this physical? And why did Greg Vanney challenge the side to foul more?

The LA Galaxy DOMINATED Vancouver 3-0 at Dignity Health Sports Park, and for one night, the fortress was back. Paintsil and Pec were dangerous. Marco Reus was the artist in midfield. And the home crowd brought the energy - at least for 12 minutes.Members of the LA Galaxy supporter groups staged a silent protest and walked out in the 12th minute in a show of solidarity with immigrant communities and to demand accountability from the club's ownership. It was a pointed and emotional moment in an otherwise dominant night on the pitch.In this match reaction, we break down the goals, key performances, and what this win means heading into the rest of this 3 game home stand. Is this the turning point?Special Guest, Photographer Bruce Martin of Angel City Brigade

The LAGalaxy still cannot pick up their second win of the season after drawing away against the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 on Saturday, June 28, in the 104th edition of the Cali Clasico. We'll look at a misfiring Galaxy offense, a defense that stepped up, and Marco Reus as the bright spot on this Galaxy roster so far. With the Champions Cup finalists coming to town on the Fourth of July, can the Galaxy take any lessons from this tie to try and get a result against Vancouver? Special Guest, MLS and Apple TV analyst Keith Costigan

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.

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?

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?

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.

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

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?

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!

And when we say "a little," we mean a BIG ROAD TRIP! On today's show, hosts Josh guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the LA Galaxy's winless streak, things that need to change to see this team climb the standings, and what a game against Sporting KC means for both sides. The guys dive into the prominent role that Marco Reus will need to have in this game, and Sporting and the Galaxy are scraping the bottom of the Western Conference to find a win. If the Galaxy get going, can they suddenly rattle off some wins? Or is the season on life support? Can Greg Vanney survive the road trip without any wins? And what solutions he could find while traveling on the road.

Michelle and Christian break down the LA Galaxy's 4-2 home loss to the Portland Timbers, highlighting their continued defensive issues and lack of tactical identity. We analyze the impact of key players like Marco Reus and Christian Ramirez, while questioning the absence of young talents like Josh Wynder and Matheus Nascimento. Head coach Greg Vanney's postgame comments point to mental lapses and midfield vulnerability as critical issues. With a tough road stretch ahead, we ask what adjustments need to be made before the Galaxy face Sporting Kansas City on May 4.

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. Disappointing/frustrating draw for Atlanta United against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night at the Benz. The visitors did not test Brad Guzan at all in the match, but Atlanta was unable to take advantage of 5 big chances in the first half and some very strong play.  Miami comes to town next weekend, they managed to beat Charlotte while playing with 10 for the majority of the match yesterday. Lionel Messi was an unused substitute yesterday, mainly due to the way the game played out with the first half red card to the goalkeeper Oscar Ustari followed by getting the lead and then defending deeper. Charlotte did not manage a shot on goal in the match.  Philadelphia and Vancouver remain perfect with three wins in three tries this season. Ryan Gauld left the match for the Whitecaps in the first half with a non-contact knee injury though, which is a massive concern for them.  Seattle throttled LAFC 5-2, Jordan Morris became the club's all-time leading scorer, Paul Rothrock starred in the win, but Pedro de la Vega left with an injury in the first half. The Sounder next go to Mexico, where they haven't won in their last 7 tries, to face Cruz Azul in the second leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 matchup after a scoreless draw in the first leg.  Kansas City has lost 10 straight in all competitions (plus 6 preseason losses) after a loss in DC on Saturday night. They lost 10 straight during the 2024 season as well, and lost 10 straight to open the 2023 season, and had a 7-game losing streak in 2022. When will things improve for SKC? When will they improve for Portland as well? James Pantemis made two penalty saves in the first 20 minutes but the Timbers still lost 2-0 in Nashville.  The LA Galaxy lost their 4th straight to open 2025, 2-0 at home to St. Louis. Marco Reus has not been the Riqui Puig replacement Greg Vanney hoped for, and they're missing Dejan Jovelic as well, and now they have to get a win against Herediano to advance in Concacaf Champions Cup. The Premier League Summer Series is coming back to Atlanta on August 3rd. Another huge crowd is expected at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Bournemouth vs West Ham followed by Everton vs Manchester United. More than 20 soccer games at the Benz this season are on the books and crowds will exceed one million for the year by a pretty wide margin.  Real Madrid pulls even with Barcelona at the top of La Liga. The Blaugrana did not play over the weekend, as their match was postponed followed the unexpected death of a team doctor.  Milan rumors heating up the tabloids in Italy with meetings to hire a new sporting director expected shortly and that could lead to a new manager hire in the summer.  Other nuggets included in the podcast.

Josh and Eric give you an injury update about Joseph Paintsil, Marco Reus, and Julian Aude, and they also tell you why they feel this Galaxy side is out to break down the barriers of years past.
