Travis, Darren, and Vince delve into the intricacies of the MLS roster rules, what changes were just made, what changes should've been made, and why no real changes were made, just to answer that first question for you.

They lost back-to-back games for the first time in 2021, and Greg Vanney thinks they've got a defensive mentality problem. Is everything falling apart? Should the Galaxy be content to be as good as the 2019 team but no more? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to bring you the latest Galaxy news. And that will mean breaking news about the MLS All-Star Game and who will not be available for El Trafico. The guys will start with Kevin on the road to rub elbows with the MLS Players Union. So enjoy the car noise but also get updated on some interesting admissions by MLS today. Will Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez be ruled out for Saturday's El Trafico? Is MLS bullheaded and stupid? And would they sabotage the league's biggest rivalry by making sure their biggest stars don't play? Josh and Kevin will also comment on MLS's possible regional TV deal that is anything but regional. Would there be enough money to go around for all the clubs? And are you ready for all Galaxy games to be found in one place without any blackouts? Then, once Kevin departs, Josh gets into some of the details surrounding the Galaxy's uninspiring loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday night. What did Greg Vanney have to say after the game? And why do the Galaxy have three weeks to get things right? What about Kevin Cabral? Do you bench him after a lackluster performance? Do you look at the rotation of Williams as the one big mistake Vanney made? And why is Dan Steres on the Galaxy's bad list? We've got a ton to talk about in a much longer episode than we anticipated! So thanks for joining us!

CoG Studios, CA -- The LA Galaxy have a huge game coming up against FC Dallas but that isn't even the biggest news of the day! Thanks to the gift that keeps on giving, the MLS Players Union has released it's springtime Salary Survey to allow us to dive into all the gory details! Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to take you through all the most important Galaxy news and to also answer your calls and questions.  First, the guys start with the numbers. How much does each player make, where are the raises, where are the contract adjustments and why on earth is Romain Alessandrini making less than he was last year? Plus, he reported in the LA Times, and it actually came true - Jorgen Skjelvik, as reported by Josh, is the highest paid defender in the league at $1-million in total compensation. What does that mean for the Galaxy? And what does that mean for the rest of the league? And as fast as we start the numbers conversation, we get some great calls to help us out.  We're going to answer all those calls and continue to break down the Galaxy's roster into bite-sized pieces as we discuss Giovani dos Santos' salary, Perry Kitchen, Jonathan dos Santos, and almost everyone else. Including Ashley Cole's large salary increase! But could all of the Galaxy's defensive and offensive struggles be fixed by some coaching changes? Next, the guys will be joined by Galaxy play-by-play announcer Christian Miles. Christian will talk about the Galaxy's struggles early in the season and start to lead the conversation in the direction of the game on FC Dallas. And when the guys get back, they'll power through the game this weekend and why, or why not, Dallas might be prime for the taking. It's a great show, filled with some of the best Galaxy-talk you can find! And as always, thanks for joining us! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

CoG Studios, CA - The LA Galaxy are only two games away from finishing this hugely disappointing 2017 season. And just like the team, on Sunday at StubHub, we'll be celebrating Listener Appreciation Night as we attempt to give back to some of our favorite people -- you the listeners! WEBSITE LINK: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com But first, your hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter are going to go over all the latest information regarding the Galaxy and their salaries. As is customary, the MLS Players Union has released the second of their league-wide salary surveys. This details the approximate salaries of every player in the league and allows us to confirm the numbers we've told you about before this lists release.  Josh and Kevin will break down the club's "cost-savings" trend over the last three years and also give you detailed information on their three newest players and how they affect the overall look of that total salary number.  They'll also detail Jonathan dos Santos, Michael Ciani, and Pele van Anholt as they look at their yearly salary demands. Could you make a case for Jonathan dos Santos having one of the more reasonable salaries? Is Ciani a Jelle van Damme replacement? And do you see van Anholt making another Galaxy appearance? The Guys will also talk about a common excuse or complaint that has seen its way through message boards, twitter, and facebook; that Bruce Arena was responsible for leaving the Galaxy with a bare cupboard. Finally, Josh and Kevin will tell you about how bad this 2017 team is and why the Minnesota United game on Sunday is an important match to win.  Last home game of the season and Corner of the Galaxy will be out before the game and at halftime to talk to the listeners. So feel free to follow us on twitter, facebook, and Instagram to find out where you can say hi and possibly get a chance at our bag of goodies! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

In today’s session Bob Foose, Executive Director of the Major League Soccer Players Union, joins us. Bob talks about the role of the Union, in particular, the efforts on life...

On Tuesday, the MLS Players Union made its annual release of league-wide player salary information, which revealed that 28 players make more than a million dollars per year… and none of them play for the league’s best team, FC Dallas. Jeb Brovsky and George sit down to navel-gaze/discuss. Then, Tim Froh joins to talk about his story in the Guardian about the lack of diversity among Major League Soccer head coaches. Froh argues that the uniformity in background fosters a sort of group-think among the men who coach MLS teams, and perhaps an ingrained hesitation to extend opportunities to people who are different. Could this be a clue as to why FC Dallas has been so successful graduating its academy players to the first team? Save 15% on a subscription to Howler with the code ILISTEN.

CoG Studios - On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are ready to get you updated on all the LA Galaxy news that's been sitting around waiting to be talked about. First your host will talk about Giovani dos Santos and the weird set of circumstances that saw him "decline" his Copa America call up for the Mexican National Team. Do you think that Dos Santos is okay with the decision to not play for Mexico? Do you think that the LA Galaxy are dodging a bullet by keeping one of their attacking players? To give us his opinion on the matter we're going to be joined by Jon Arnold (@ArnoldcommaJon) of GoalUSA to talk about the Mexican National Team and what he thinks is really going on between Giovani dos Santos and Juan Carlos Osorio. Then Josh and Wendy talk MLS Salaries as the MLS Players Union released the full salaries for the entire league. They'll break down the numbers and tell you what sticks out and who's getting overpaid as well as who's getting underpaid and is a great steal. Steven Gerrard said some things and then Josh said some things and now everyone's angry. Find out why, how and what you should actually be angry about. It shouldn't surprise you that it has to do with Liverpool. Finally your two hosts will preview the LA Galaxy's clash with San Jose as it's the second installment of the Cali Clasico. The LA Galaxy have a dominant record at home against the 'Quakes, but will this Sunday be a chance for San Jose to steal some points? Also we'd like to thank our Live Studio Audience. Greg and Sev brought beer and toughed it out through the whole show. Thanks for the support guys, it was great having you. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

On this episode of the Corner of the Galaxy: Short Corner we're trying to give you the emerging details of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. But we didn't just want to list all the specifics. So Josh was fortunate to be in contact with a gentlemen who has the legal background and knowledge to explain why certain items came about the way they did. For the entire show CoG: Short Corner will host a discussion with Steven Bank (a Paul Hastings Professor of Business Law at UCLA School of Law and a frequent contributor to American Soccer Now as a Legal Analyst). Steven teaches law at UCLA School of Law and is an avid soccer fan. Together, Steven and Josh try and put you in the shoes of the guys negotiating while also giving you details and background information on how the league legal structure was formed and, in many ways, how it is morphing into something else. Think the players got a raw deal? Think that perhaps the owners were greedy? Then listen to how single entity and anti-trust laws effected the negotiations. It's not only an in-depth look at how MLS and the MLS Players Union came to an agreement, but it'll also get you thinking about the future of these negotiations and the leagues continued participation in Free Agency.

Join me and Kartik Krishnaiyer of World Soccer Talk as we discuss the current situation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement talks between Major League Soccer & the MLS Players Union and the stories that are surrounding this situation.

Picking up right where they left off after a brief one-week vacation to appease Jimmy's dream of being on television, Jimmy and Frank hold court about the important happenings around the country involving the great game of soccer. For example, Jimmy dissects the aristocracy of the U.S. Soccer pyramid power structure while Frank theorizes about the merits of jingoism as it relates to the head coaching positions of the U.S. National teams and in Major League Soccer. They also make up a new word, "Nyquilled," discuss why Pepto Bismal doesn't come in nacho cheese flavor, and welcome two guests to the show, forward and 14 year veteran, Josh Wolff, from D.C. United, and the executive director of the MLS Players Union, Bob Foose, to hash out, among other things, why we are trending in the right direction. So maybe you should listen. You could learn something.
