Hey, soccer fans! Nick has somewhat recovered from his night at the MLS Play-In Game where the Chicago Fire defeated Orlando City 3-1 to advance to the 1st round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Men in Red played a nearly perfect match, outworking, outplaying, and outcoaching their opposition. Brian Gutierrez opened the scoring, and Hugo Cuypers sealed the win with two goals of his own. But no one on the Fire had a poor or even mediocre match. This will surely give the Fire faithful a boost of confident, and maybe give Philadelphia Union fans some doubt.

Cincinnati came out with high pressure, speed, and intensity on Sunday night against Orlando City, and for the first 10 minutes of the match, looked like they could run away with it. And though they did find themselves up 1-0 after Kevin Denkey's first goal in 5 matches, they finished the match, as they've done all too often this season, on their heels, giving up a goal in the final moments of the match. Now with the playoffs on the horizon, what adjustments does FC Cincinnati need to make to have a chance at the ultimate prize, the MLS Cup? Join us for episode 439 of Cincinnati Soccer Talk.

They secured a 2-1 win over Orlando City on Sunday, thereby qualifying for the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2026. And that qualification will become important next year when the Galaxy put together a revamped squad. On today's show, host Josh Guesman (who didn't go to the Jonas Brothers Concert and therefore did not get sick) will talk about the Galaxy's win, their preparation for Saturday's makeup match with Houston, and so much more. Will Riqui Puig be back? What injuries will keep the Galaxy's roster different? And what can the Galaxy focus on during this last stretch of games now that they are all but eliminated from League play? Let's talk! Because we have nothing better to do. -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,200! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2025!
