Derudover kvindernes forspring 'over there', den mest succesfulde amerikaner i Superligaen samt naturligvis... Perry Kitchen! Vært: Thomas Loft

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy got the win under interim head coach Dominic Kinnear on Sunday night. But they'll need two more wins like that, and some help, if they're going to even think about the postseason. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's win over Real Salt Lake, what changes Kinnear made, and how Giancarlo "Pipo" Gonzalez turned in his best performance in a Galaxy kit. Josh and Kevin will start the show with their observations about the starting lineup, what it looked like to have Kinnear and Jovan Kirovski on the bench, and why a small tweak ended up with a Man of the Match award to Gonzalez. The guys will also discuss the play of Julian Araujo, David Bingham, Emiliano Insua, Perry Kitchen, Cristian Pavon, and Yony Gonzalez. Did Kinnear find a starting lineup that is more predictable than the rest? And what did Zubak bring that no one else on the field can offer? Next, Kevin will get you through the playoff scenarios and the needed results for the postseason to be a reality for this underachieving club. Can the Galaxy get there? Would they deserve it? But the Galaxy's next opponent is the MLS Cup Champions from last year. Why are the Seattle Sounders looking to bury the Galaxy and end any dreams of the playoffs on Wednesday? Finally, the guys do a quick dive into the Galaxy's possible coaching candidates while ESPN is reporting that Robbie Keane, is in fact, being looked at for the manager's position. Don't worry, we've got a bunch of names for you, and most of those are sure to be wrong! We've got a great show lined up for you as the club comes down to the wire in 2020! Can the Galaxy make the playoffs? Is it still the "hope that kills you?"

And for a team that is often criticized for being only about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Galaxy showed that even when their superstar has a bad game, they can still win it all. But now the Galaxy must quickly turnaround for a Thursday night match against LAFC that could be one of the biggest games in MLS history. So who's going to win? On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman (Galaxy Beat Reporter) and Kevin Baxter (LA Times Soccer Reporter) get together to discuss why the Galaxy won in Minnesota and why their "hyper confidence" could be a good sign for their match against LAFC. They'll start by breaking down a very defensive Galaxy game-plan at Minnesota and why Guillermo Barros Schelotto probably got it right on the night. Was his decision to start Pipo Gonzalez the right call in a challenging situation? And was Perry Kitchen the right choice to start after not having played any minutes since August? And why did Ibrahimovic struggle so much? Was it all part of the game-plan? Was it how the Galaxy setup? Or did he just have an off night? Josh and Kevin will then turnaround and discuss the massive game that takes place on Thursday. Kevin seems to think the Galaxy have LAFC's number. But Josh is on the fence. How many times can the Galaxy play mind games with their crosstown rivals before they get punched in the face? And does this type of chaotic atmosphere favor the Galaxy and Schelotto? Does it work against LAFC and Bob Bradley? We've got 80 minutes of soccer-talk that's just dying to get you going for one of the most anticipated games in league history. You're not going to want to miss it! Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory.

And what if we throw in a Zlatan Ibrahimovic-sized controversy and an interesting Diego Polenta rumor to boot? On today's show, we're breaking news, breaking down the game, and discussing the biggest takeaways from this weekend's win. Your host, Josh Guesman, is back to tell you what he saw in the Galaxy's third consecutive road-win and tell you what he liked and didn't like about the game. And he's certainly going to start with Emmanuel Boateng trying to show up this podcast by having one of his best performances of the year, and he's also going to tell you why Perry Kitchen has just flipped some of the scripts on the "no depth" argument. Plus, there are plenty of hot-takes on Ibrahimovic's antics and why the quote from Sebastian Lletget is nothing to get worked up about. Josh will also give you a mid-season chart update that tells you why the Galaxy may be out-performing their expected progress and which two Galaxy players have the misfortune of being named to the MLS All-Star Game in Orlando at the end of July. Finally, your host will ensure that you're up to date on most of the club's international players before shifting your attention to news about Polenta wanting to leave the Galaxy. At first glance, you may think the rumors are ridiculous, but there are some excellent reasons why it might make sense. And Josh will set the record straight on whether there's any truth to the rumors. It's a packed show that gets you caught up with your Galaxy just before the first Cali-Clasico of 2019.

But continued defensive issued once again marred a Galaxy victory and there may not be any answers to this puzzle! On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Times soccer reporter Kevin Baxter are back to go back over all the good and the bad from that game and try and decide if the Galaxy should make some moves to make the defense better, or ride the wave of results to the playoffs. Coul they even be considered contenders at this point? First, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had another huge game for the club. His first Galaxy hat-trick follows another big Galaxy name. And it's been quite some time since someone in the blue, white, and gold put three into the back of the net in a single game. Josh and Kevin will next look at Giovani dos Santos and how the Mexican National teamer has been playing much better over the last couple of games. He scored a goal, assisted on another, and generally looked to be an important piece of the Galaxy's unlocking of Orlando. But is his self-imposed press exile hurting him with the fans, the league, and the press? Should the most expensive player on the field be able to shrug off his post-game responsibilities? Finally, the guys will look at the other impact players like Sebastian Lletget, Perry Kitchen, and Ola Kamara and see how they rubbed this game the right or wrong way. And does Sigi Schmid deserve some serious praise in how he's reconstructed the roster and how he makes his halftime adjustments? We've got 75 minutes of Galaxy-Talk headed your way! Don't miss it!

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.

LAST CHANCE! COG SCARVES: www.CorneroftheGalaxy/Shop CoG Studios, CA -- The LA Galaxy are just days away from kicking off the 2018 season. And our show is doing it's best to bring you all the latest information so that you can be ready for the Sunday opener! Hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are back to make sure you know exactly what's going on with your team. Afterall, there are only hours until first kick and there's still so much to learn. Your hosts will first recap all the changes the Galaxy have made in the offseason. They'll start by looking back at the beginning of the 2017 season so you'll get a reminder of what this team looked like after Bruce Arena went on to coach the U.S. Men's National Team and Curt Onalfo took over. They'll compare that to the 2018 projected starting lineup to see just how far this team has come. But they'll also highlight some of the bigger weaknesses on the team and that focus will definitely be pointed at the Galaxy's defense. Then Josh will be joined by Galaxy midfielder, and preseason MVP - according to Josh - Perry Kitchen to discuss his role on the club and how he's adjusting to being back in the states and in Southern California. Kitchen will also give you his goals for the season and the goals for the club. Finally, Josh and Wendy will give you the briefest of previews between two teams - the Galaxy and the Portland Timbers - who still have a bunch of question marks. Will Jonathan dos Santos be ready to appear for the club? Will Michael Ciani start over Daniel Steres? And where is the biggest place for the Timbers to attack the Galaxy? It's all part of our last show before the season starts. Can you believe it? The offseason is officially over. Music Provided by Back Pocket Memory

The floodgates have opened. MLS news is coming thick and fast as GMs, coaches and scouts work to build opening day rosters that will get them into the playoffs. The guys start with the LA Galaxy, who traded for Perry Kitchen and are quietly having a sneaky solid offseason. Plus, what's Ola Kamara worth on the MLS trade market? How about Lee Nguyen, who says he wants out of New England? Play your kids! That's a refrain you hear often on ETR. Andrew, Matt and Ben dig into all the South American prospects who've joined the league this winter -- no, not Barco, yet -- and wonder what it all means for Homegrowns and other young domestic players. Finally, more drama for the Canadian national team as Octavio Zambrano lasts just 10 months as the head coach of the men's national team. His replacement? Well, let's just say you'll want Daniel Squizzato's explanation for why John Herdman, previously the women's coach, is switching roles.

For the first week in January, there sure was a lot of D.C. United news and Filibuster is here to cover it. Jason, Adam, and Ben open the show (3:39) by discussing the recently announced MLS schedule and what it means for D.C. United, their big roadtrips, and their many appearances on national TV. We discuss the three United players called up to the USMNT and the fact that Jonathan Gonzalez has chosen to play for Mexico instead. We end the first segment by discussing United's trade of the rights of Perry Kitchen and whether or not we would want to trade for Ola Kamara or Justin Meram, both of whom are rumored to want out of Columbus. In the second segment (41:46) we welcome on our old friend Travis Clark of Top Drawer Soccer to talk about the MLS SuperDraft. We ask Travis whether or not this draft class is weak and who the best available players are that D.C. United could take at the third spot. We discuss the fact that the Generation adidas class is mostly international players and discuss the top picks in the draft and from the DMV. We also theorize about what would happen if D.C. United traded down, and talk about the possibility of Eryk Williamson going abroad and what that means for United. Give it a listen!

The boys do a quickie this week and talk MLS schedule and the new signings of Perry Kitchen, David Bingham and Mr. Alex Morgan. They also discuss some of the player needs the G's still need to make. www.facebook.com/riotsquadcast www.twitter.com/riotsquadcast Email: riotsquadcast@gmail.com Voicemail: 562-641-5277 Intro: Gucci Mane - My Kitchen Outro: Rihanna - Work

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy looked to close out 2017 with a bang, as they acquired the rights to Servando Carrasco in the second stage of the MLS Re-Entry Draft. This means the Galaxy will have a week to offer Carrasco a contract and if all goes well, he'll sign with the club and become their only defensive midfielder on the roster. Your host Josh Guesman will discuss all the happenings around the re-entry draft and get you updated on all the rumors. He'll talk about the Galaxy's pursuit of Perry Kitchen and why adding another midfielder actually makes a ton of sense. But can the Galaxy get a deal done being he still has 18-months left on his contract? And why haven't the Galaxy announced the signing of goalkeeper David Bingham yet? We talked about there being some issues with that deal on Monday but we'll also tell you why we're feeling a little bit better about the deal come Thursday. Next, your host will go over the entire Galaxy roster in an attempt to lessen your panic. The Galaxy have 15 players signed on the roster, with four others waiting in the wings. But with 15 roster spots open and only one international slot remaining, could the Galaxy be looking to offload defender Michael Ciani and Forward Gyasi Zardes? And why are there no concrete leads for the Galaxy's search for a striker? Finally, Josh will get you the dates on a special Galaxy event as well as the start dates and times of the Galaxy's first two games in 2018. He'll also answer all your questions as the last show of 2017. We hope you have enjoyed the show over the last year, and we'll be back first thing in 2018 to get you ready for the approaching season. From everyone here at Corner of the Galaxy, Happy Holidays! We'll see you NEXT YEAR! Music provided generously by Back Pocket Memory.

On this week's show, Steve and Tyler take a look at the 24 Under 24 list, talk to Heart of Midlothian captain Perry Kitchen and take on a ridiculous soccer hypothetical.

With a win in this year's Atlantic Cup already notched, the Filibuster crew is here to talk about it. Adam, Ben, and Jason are here to talk about whether D.C. United's game against the New York Red Bulls was the most complete performance of the year. We talk about the contrasting styles of the Red Bulls' tactics versus D.C. United's tactics, the out of character game by referee Silviu Petrescu, and we compare the difference between this year's central midfield (Marcelo Sarvas and Nick DeLeon) versus last year's central midfield (Davy Arnaud and Perry Kitchen). Finally, we talk about whether Fabian Espindola should replace Alvaro Saborio, and thank Jesse Marsch for leaving Lloyd Sam on the bench. We then welcome on Eugene Rupinski from Brotherly Game to talk about United's Friday matchup against the Philadelphia Union. We have to start by asking about Chris Pontius, before marvelling that the Union are good so far this year. We ask Eugene what the biggest thing is that is working for the team right, and ask him to shed some light on their defensive rookies, Keegan Rosenberry and Josh Yaro. We address the Union's central midfield, the selection of players Earnie Stewart has created, and how Bethlehem Steel is working. And, before we say goodbye to Eugene and ask him to gameplan the Union, we had to ask him about Zlatan. Give it a listen!

The Filibuster guys are back with their last episode of 2015. Jason, Adam, and Ben start out talking about the MLS offseason and specifically Perry Kitchen's seemingly imminent departure. We also talk about the rest of MLS, including the LA Galaxy possibly signing Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba possibly returning to Chelsea, and a brief mention of the front office chaos happening in Orlando. We come back to talk about the sublimated stripes on the leaked D.C. United 2016 jersey (and talk about jerseys in general), review the seasons of Dave Kapser and Ben Olsen, and give our picks for D.C. United's most improved player. We end with some Twitterbox questions about which USMNT goalkeeper should be starting and whether or not D.C. United can become the preseason favorites for the Eastern Conference. Give it a listen!

Even on the week of Christmas, Filibuster is here for you, your travels, and when you need to escape family. Adam, Jason, and Ben kick off this episode by talking about Steve Goff's interview with D.C. United managing partner Jason Levien. We talk about the size of the stadium, the surprisingly pernicious roof debate, the contract status of Perry Kitchen, and Marco Etcheverry in the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame. We then talk about MLS Live coming back next year, D.C. United's move to WJLA7, and finish up with a slew of awards: The Andy Award, the Donnety Award, and a lightning round of Cake or Death. Give it a listen!

It is a Tuesday morning, and Filibuster is back in its rightful place! Jason, Adam, and Ben start the show by diving into the offseason. We talk about Portland Timbers' move to sell Jorge Villafana and acquire Chris Klute, the way that Max Urruti got to FC Dallas, the neverending march of MLS expansion, and the new free GarberBucks that are floating around the league. We then talk about the US National teams' player of the year awards, the women's team and our love for Becky Sauerbrunn. We also talk about our picks for the first Benny Award this season, the Richie. We end the show by doing some Cake or Death on some D.C. United players, including Chris Pontius, and with a Twitterbox where we talk about how much United should pay to keep Perry Kitchen and how to attract soccer fans who are not MLS fans to D.C. United. Give it a listen!

Hello, friends! It is time for another episode of Filibuster with Adam, Jason, and Ben! We preamble by talking about a change we would like to see to the MLS playoff system, but we start the show proper by talking about D.C. United's new badge and our initial reactions to it. Spoiler alert: We like it! We then have to talk about MLS Cup, and it takes us longer to intro this segment than it does for Portland Timbers to score on Columbus Crew SC. We talk about poor Steve Clark, whether or not these teams will be the favorites to return next year, Adam Kwarasey, the out of bounds ball, and much more. We turn our eyes to D.C. United after the break and talk about the trades involving Chris Pontius and Lamar Neagle as well as the three players released: Facundo Coria, Michael Farfan, and Jairo Arrieta. We end with our Cake or Death series, in which we review the seasons of Sean Franklin, Markus Halsti, Jared Jeffrey, Taylor Kemp, and Perry Kitchen. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is a little late but always here for you. Adam, Jason, and Ben talk about D.C. United's 4-0 win over the Chicago Fire, and ask whether or not this was United's best performance of the year. We talk about Chris Pontius' goal, Shooter Kemp, and D.C. United's current form as well. We then talk about the playoff races overall: in the Eastern Conference it is pretty much all over, but there are some interesting permutations out in the Western Conference. We also hope Seattle invents tumbling out of the playoffs, because that would be fun. Finally, we talk about D.C. United's last regular season game against Columbus Crew SC. We talk about Perry Kitchen versus Wil Trapp, and talk about what D.C. United will need to do to go into the playoffs on a three game winning streak. Give it a listen!

D.C. United are on a five game winless streak, but Filibuster shows up week in and week out. Ben, Jason, and Adam are here, and we're pretty sad. We talk about D.C. United's state of mind after the the loss to Columbus Crew SC, break down the two goals scored by Crew SC, and talk about whether Steve Birnbaum or Kofi Opare should be starting next to Bobby Boswell. We end this game by talking about Alvaro Saborio and by trying to puzzle out Ben Olsen's subsistute patterns. We then briefly touch on tonight's Concacaf Champions League game, asking who we want to see play and whether or not Perry Kitchen, who is suspended on the weekend, should play. We end the show by talking about the Montreal Impact, starting off with the suspended Marco Donadel. We then talk about the player who didn't play in the last game between these two teams: Can United stop Didier Drogba, and how will they do so if they can. We then finish by talking about the roles that Taylor Kemp and Michael Farfan will have in this game. Give it a listen!

Rejoice because Filibuster is back to meet your ears on this Wednesday morning. Adam, Jason, and Ben are here to talk about what is going on with D.C. United these past two games, their comebacks from 2-0 down in both, and Taylor Kemp's ridiculous goal. Then we have to talk about what is wrong with the defense, and we specifically talk about Perry Kitchen and Steve Birnbaum. We then get into a news roundup! We talk about Populous being selected as the architect for the D.C. United stadium, talk about Andy Najar possibly being sold and what they would mean for United, and some disappointing news about United's academy. We breakdown D.C. United's upcoming game the Montreal Impact, and talk about Didier Drogba and the fixture congestion that Montreal is currently facing. We end the show by answering some of your Twitterbox questions. Give it a listen!

Adam, Jason, and Ben are back with an extra-long edition of Filibuster! We start off by talk about D.C. United's comeback victory over the Philadelphia Union. We talk about how impressive the comeback was, how they managed it, and the key play of Nick Deleon, Perry Kitchen, and Alvaro Saborio. We then have to talk about the first 188 seconds of the game, and we ponder why United has to come from behind so often this season. We then talk about the United States' disappointing showing in the Gold Cup. We talk about how losing in the semi-finals is not okey, despite the fact that other teams in Concacaf are getting better, and then go full-in on Jurgen Klinsmann: his lineup choices and his roster choices. We end with a twitterbox question and name some players we would probably include instead. Finally, we welcome on Brian Dunseth to talk about D.C. United's weekend game against Real Salt Lake. We talk about Jeff Cassar's 4-3-3 versus Jason Kreis' diamond, the Luis Silva trade, how Javier Morales is ageless, the phenomenon of good teams losing to bad ones, and how to gameplan RSL. Brian Dunseth is great, so give it a listen!

Filibuster is back, and Ben, Jason, and Adam are joined by a very special guest: Sebastian Salazar from Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic! We start off by talking about the Gold Cup, even though we recorded before last night's 1-1 draw between the United States and Panama. We talk about what's wrong with the USMNT, ask whether or not they are sandbagging like the USWNT, and talk about Michael Bradley as a number 10. We also ponder whether or not there is a chance Perry Kitchen gets called in to replace Kyle Beckerman. Since Sebastian is here, we then had to ask him about Mexico. We let him explain what's wrong with the Mexico national team and ask whether there is anyone in their current pool who could help D.C. United. We finish with D.C. United against FC Dallas this weekend. We talk about whether or not United can shut down Mauro Diaz, how they can deal with Fabian Castillo, and ask where the creativity will come from since Fabian Espindola is suspended. We wrap up by flinging praise and Andrew Dykstra and Steve Birnbaum. Give it a listen!

Wait, Steven Gerrard said what?! Less pressure in MLS? Hit play to see what the guys thought of the soon-to-be Galaxy star's comments as he prepares to say goodbye to the only club he's ever known. Then stick around for a chat with D.C. United midfielder Perry Kitchen, who has a big event off the field this week, is fielding interest from Europe and has a US national team career to think about. Oh, and what's he think about all this "luck" talk when it comes to D.C. United and their first-place position?In the second segment, MLS Week 11 takes center stage. Viernes de Futbol is huge this week. Can NYCFC finally rebound? Can the Red Bulls slow down Fabian Castillo, Mauro Diaz and FC Dallas? Saturday is just as good, with a Cascadia battle pitting Vancouver and Seattle and New England hoping to heap more misery on Toronto FC. The guys also welcome friend of the show Brian Sciaretta on to talk Gedion Zelalem and all the moving and shaking from Americans in Europe.In the mailbag, the "Farby" debate heads in a new direction, listeners pull the homer card and Simon is confronted by his alter egos: Dr. Simon and Mr. Borg.

It's been a busy few days in Whitecapsland as the various incarnations of Vancouver Whitecaps played four games over two days and came away with just one win, two draws and a loss. The defeat came in MLS action on Saturday night where referee Dave Gantar gave the impression that he wanted to be the centre of attention. Whether he did or not, he became it anyway. We look back at just what went wrong in the Caps' 2-1 loss to DC and get the thoughts of both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and DC's Ben Olsen, along with Whitecaps captain Pedro Morales and goalkeeping rock David Ousted. We also have some exclusive chats from the victorious DC United locker room as we hear from debutant sub keeper Travis Worra, matchwinner Chris Rolfe and Perry Kitchen, and we talk with Kofi Opare about the game and the chances of him suiting up for the Canadian national team. Turning our attention to USL action, we take a brief look at WFC2's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders 2 on Sunday and hear from coach Alan Koch, goalscorer Robert Earnshaw and captain Tim Parker. And there's still time to have an extended one on one chat with S2 head coach Ezra Hendrickson about the game, his team's season so far and just how Seattle are looking to use their USL side.

Another Tuesday means another Filibuster, and all is right with the world. Adam, Jason, and Ben start by talking about D.C. United's 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls. We talk about Perry Kitchen's overall performance, what he and Davy Arnaud did differently in this game versus the game in Red Bull Arena, the two set piece goals that United gave up late, Kori Opare's role in those goals specifically, and we look at the differences between New York and United's set piece strategy. We then talk about United's upcoming match against the Houston Dynamo, talk about the strange season that they have had so far, what effect Owen Coyle has had on the team, and their most recent win against the Montreal Impact. Finally, we open the Twitterbox and answer your questions about Miguel Aguilar and what Jairo Arrieta's role will be when Fabian Espindola comes back. Give it a listen!

The Filibuster gang is still sad about Thursday night, but we're here for you. Adam, Ben, Jason, and Donald talk about what the hell happened in D.C. United's Concacaf Champions League game against LD Alajuelense, including dissecting the play of Andrew Dykstra, Steve Birnbaum and Bobby Boswell, and Davy Arnaud and Perry Kitchen. We also talk about the scheduling of the game and theorize if there would be any way to move it even a little later. Donald then regales us with the epic story of his cab ride during his layover leaving Costa Rica. If nothing else, please listen to this story: it involves the tourism police! We then turn back to soccer and talk about the second leg of the CCL quarterfinals, and ask if D.C. United can climb the mountain before them both offensively and defensively. We also discuss whether or not any of the likes of Jairo Arrieta, Miguel Aguilar, or Michael Farfan should start this game. In the third segment, we preview D.C. United's opening weekend match against the Montreal Impact, because we are optimists. We look at their first CCL game, whether they can translate that success into MLS, and whether or not the CCL will affect either team's performance on Saturday. Finally, in a rarely seen fourth segment, we have to talk about the collective bargaining between MLS and its players' union. We talk about how there may or may not have been some progress in negotiations, give our predictions as to whether the season will start on time, and beat the drum for the University of California solution to the problem. It is a jam-packed episode, so give it a listen!

Adam is back from his scouting trip to Alaska, and Filibuster is back in your ears. We start off by talking all things D.C. United preseason trialists: Andrew Driver and David Estrada, Rocket Rod Dyachenko, the center backs (Futty Danso, Rauwshawn McKenzie, and Sean St Ledger), and the goalkeeping trialists that are Diego Restrepo, Richard McCallum, and Riccardo Anedda. We then talk about injuries suffered this season (Eddie Johnson and Michael Seaton) and at the end of last season (Luis Silva, Chris Rolfe, Andrew Dykstra, and Conor Doyle). It could be an interesting forward pairing to start the year if these players don't start getting health (but most of them are doing so). When then talk about Perry Kitchen, Steve Birnbaum, and the USMNT's Camp Cupcake. They play Chile tonight, and they may do so in a strange formation. Is Jurgen Klinsmann actually just Tom Soehn? Finally, we introduce a new segment entitled "Metro Offseason Failure" before taking some of your Twitterbox questions. Give it a listen!

It is MLS SuperDraft week, and that means that it is time for our yearly chat with Top Drawer Soccer's Travis Clark, the expert on all things college soccer. We talk about Cyle Larin, Cristian Roldan, and the other top players in the draft, the depth (or lack thereof) of talent in this draft, and the various goalkeepers in the draft (and where D.C. United should take them). We then ask Travis about picking for need versus picking the best available player, the Generation Adidas class this year, prospects from around greater DMV area, the effect of USL PRO, and whether or not there are any D.C. United Academy players who might sign soon. After we bid farewell to Travis, we turn our attention to D.C. United news. We talk about SB Nation's mock SuperDraft, the signing of Markus Halsti, how Halsti will fit in with Perry Kitchen and Davy Arnaud, the callup of Steve Birnbaum and Perry Kitchen to the USMNT, the Concacaf Champions League, and United's coaching changes. It is a jam-packed show, so give it a listen! Note: There is some joking about the Metro in this podcast, before we knew the full seriousness of the tragedy.
