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? Let's talk! -- 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!

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Another disappointing night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Atlanta United, losing 1-0 to Philadelphia who go to the top spot in the Eastern Conference with the win. Personally, there were things I really liked about the shape change to play two central midfielders ahead of one holding midfielder and essentially two up top, although Miguel Almirón was essentially in a free role. However, it wasn't good enough on the night, the Union earned a deserved (although unlucky) penalty and converted to win 1-0. It doesn't get any easier for Atlanta United next weekend as they host the team level on points with Philadelphia in FC Cincinnati on Sunday night. Hot take alert, I'm a fan of the LA Galaxy announcing Greg Vanney's extension on Friday even though the team is still winless in regular season play in 2025. The negotiations started after Vanney won MLS Cup last December and were finalized recently. With the amount of injuries the Galaxy have tried to navigate this season, including to their 4 top attackers, a struggle was inevitable. A knee-jerk reaction to move on from Vanney after he rebuilt the club into a successful winning team would be the wrong move in my opinion. Crystal Palace earned their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup 1-0 over Manchester City. That will qualify them for the Europa League next year, their first time in a major European competition. Chelsea's women completed the domestic treble with their FA Cup win over Manchester United that saw USWNT members Catarina Macario score a goal and Naomi Girma marshal the backline to a clean sheet.Napoli and Inter both drew in Serie A yesterday, taking the title down to the wire. Their matches will be played on Friday with Napoli holding a one point advantage in the table. If they finish the night tied at the top of the standings, there will be a one-game playoff for the league title. PSV and Sporting won the Dutch and Portuguese top flight titles over the weekend respectively. Aberdeen defender Jack Mackenzie was hit by a plastic seat thrown by his own fans, intended for Dundee United fans celebrating on the field after their win that qualified them for Europe at the Dons' expense. He was bloodied and required treatment, the SPFL called the act "moronic". The great-great grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford has become the majority shareholder of Scottish 2nd division side Livingston. Calvin Ford saw his new team win in their promotion semifinal. They will play either Dundee FC or Ross County for an opportunity to earn promotion to the Scottish Premiership. On the Club World Cup front, reports out of Spain indicate that an unnamed Brazilian club has made a "tempting" offer to Cristiano Ronaldo to join them for the tournament. Al Nassr is not in the event and Ronaldo is out of contract on June 30. Al Nassr also missed out on trophies this season and won't be in the Asian Champions League Elite tournament next season. Real Madrid paid the release clause for Bournemouth's CB Dean Huijsen. They have secured their new manager Xabi Alonso for the tournament, are working to bring in Trent Alexander-Arnold for the event as well, and reports indicate they could execute the buyback clause on Como's Nico Paz in time for the tournament as well. They are still chasing a left back too. New ticket options are available at FIFA.com/tickets along with hospitality opportunities at FIFA.com/hospitality.More Espresso coming tomorrow on the SDH Network.

Is it too soon? Absolutely! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to dive into the Galaxy's 3-1 win over Philadelphia and an honest-to-god winning streak! In fact, it's the longest winning streak under Greg Vanney! And the unbeaten streak is also the longest under Vanney. So why are the Galaxy successful against some of the better teams in the league? And why must you always respect the streak? Also, who is this Douglas "Doug" Costa, and why is he, along with team MVP Riqui Puig, the reason behind the Galaxy's recent success? And finally, who is the most underrated player on the Galaxy? And will Vanney have a center-back question when Jalen Neal gets back? Isn't that a good problem to have? We've got a great show ahead of you, and we're delighted we could have you join us!

So are the Galaxy ready to take on LAFC? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter talk about the draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. Did the Galaxy get screwed by bad refereeing? Did they deserve a win? And why did Vanney call Dejan Joveljic selfish? Plus, what would it take for the Galaxy to beat LAFC at the Rose Bowl? Will it really be a sell-out if there are only 80,000 people there?

The LA Galaxy played a lackluster first 45 minutes that saw them gift the Columbus Crew a two-goal lead. While there was an adjustment at halftime, the Galax's offense remains their most significant issue. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's loss to Columbus, the likelihood that they'll lose again in DC against DC United, and why no one but Vanney has any idea what his lineup for the Tuesday match against LAFC will be. Did a rotated lineup against the Crew cost the Galaxy? What needs to happen to start scoring goals? And who wasted their big chance to get some more playing minutes? We've got a crazy show.

But when the LA Galaxy lost to Kevin Cabral and the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night, the only thing positive was that it probably couldn't get any worse. Hosts Josh Guesmand and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 loss to Colorado and its ramifications for the Sporting Director Greg Vanney and a recently-back-from-suspension President Chris Klein. Is it time for the Galaxy to make a change? Do they throw away the work done in the front office? And who gets to decide to fire Vanney? Would going through another coach fix things this time?

On today's show, the infirmed Eric Vieira takes the night off as Josh Guesman does another surprise solo show -- we promise he tried to get another host in. Josh will start with Hollywood pricing for LA Galaxy II as they prepare to host Wrexham in what should be a star-studded event. But with what seems like outrageous ticket prices, is this game for Galaxy fans? Or is it a cash grab for Wrexham? And is that okay if the Galaxy are getting a share of that as well? And will you be surprised by the level of play? Josh will then talk about the Galaxy ranking near the bottom in Analytics and why that probably doesn't tell the whole story. But it's certainly a story we've been telling for close to seven years. Is there improvement any time soon? But the main crux of the show is listening to Greg Vanney's media availability for this week as the Galaxy prepare for Colorado. Vanney talks about injuries to Costa, Jonathan Bond, and Chris Mavinga and when you can expect those players to return to the team. And there's also some discussion about the U-20 guys and whether they'll be released for the U-20 World Cup. Will Jalen Neal be able to make an appearance? And what about Julian Aude? Finally, Josh will prepare you for Colorado's defense and talk about how both teams are struggling to find goalscorers. Will Kevin Cabral be welcomed back to Dignity Health Sports Park? Will Robin Fraser find a way to unlock the Galaxy's mistake-prone possession? We've got a great show for you tonight -- full of LA Galaxy news and discussion. Thanks for joining us!

But then a bad loss on the road turns into an international embarrassment. And the LA Galaxy's brand erodes even further. Funny that the Galaxy had a real chance at gaining some momentum heading into a lopsided El Trafico without Supporters Groups in the stadium. And now? Is there a response that makes up for two boneheaded plays and two red cards in a game that may have already been decided? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the faults of the Galaxy in the game against Houston and why all the pressure is cooking this club. And they don't seem to be reacting well. Josh and Kevin will give some broad strokes about the 3-0 loss to Houston. Still, it will be a much more comprehensive look at the club, how it's been created in the offseason, and why an incomplete club is still an indictment of a Galaxy side that is dealing with a summer international transfer ban while being overly selective in the primary window. But the loss isn't just their sixth winless game of the season, it's also part of the mounting frustration from inside the locker room. Has Vanney lost the locker room? Who can fire whom? Why is Vanney not on the hot seat right now? And a lot more. We've got a stellar 90-minute show just waiting for you. We'll just call it group therapy.

Does that mean something for this weekend's game? And can we project anything forward about a struggling Seattle Sounders side? We've got a show packed full of stats and interesting tidbits. Including a tiny hint about a jersey sponsorship that will probably make you angry! As always, thanks for joining us on Monday! And what do you know? Things are just a little bit better when the Galaxy win!

First, they see a surprise 15 minutes played by Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez in the All-Star Game, and then Riqui Puig doesn't show up for his press conference (for a good reason). On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to get you ready for the Galaxy's matchup with Vancouver. But to get there, they've got to cover a lot of ground. Josh and Eric want to talk about the All-Star Game and why Chicharito played longer than he should have. And they'll tell you how Julian Araujo played while commenting on the great run Chicharito made to help MLS score their first goal. But the last thing the Galaxy needed was a competitive game from Liga Mx. And they certainly didn't need their captain playing 45 mins. Next, the guys want to talk about Greg Vanney's press conference, which covered Puig's availability for this weekend and how the deal came about. Why did Riqui take less money to come to LA? And can we confirm a Max TAM contract? But Vanney also got to step on at least one rumor floating around. And it was about Gareth Bale being available to the Galaxy, who passed on him to get Costa. We can shed some light on where the rumor came from and what Vanney says about it. Plus, Rayan Raveloson may be a success story the Galaxy can re-tell to other players. We'll explain. Finally, the guys want to prepare you for a tough matchup against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Can the club get a much-needed three points? And what happens if they can't beat Vancouver at Dignity Health Sports Park? We've got a great show on tap for you. And if you're watching it on YouTube, enjoy Josh losing his mind with the graphics. It's almost worth the price of admission (which is free!).

And while Atlanta United was not exactly playing up to top-tier standards, the Galaxy still showed some glimpses of what they might be able to do down the stretch. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 2-0 victory and get into some details surrounding the game, both on and off the field. Josh and Kevin start with Greg Vanney's choice of starting lineups. That included a Galaxy debut for Gaston Brugman, and starts for Chase Gasper and Eriq Zavaleta. And while those were question marks at the beginning of the game, they all worked well. What can Brugman bring to the table for the Galaxy? What does a distributing six look like down the road? And are the Galaxy still looking to add one more piece? Plus, how big of a story will Dejan Joveljic be in the next 13 games? Probably one of the biggest. Especially as he continues to score goals every time he's on the field. But how hesitant will Vanney be to start Joveljic? We've got a great show for you, and we're thrilled you joined us!

So will Atlanta United cause as many problems as the San Jose Earthquakes for LA? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's continued fall from grace. They'll talk about the "Stupid Tax" the club has been paying with all of their transfers and why ghost teams probably aren't in place to get another signing across the line. But what do we make of Gaston Brugman? Will he be an answer of sorts that fixes some of the issues the Galaxy have? Plus, who would be your Penalty Kick takers in a winner-take-all shootout? Would you let Chicharito take one of them? What about Jonathan Bond? Josh and Eric also want to talk about points totals and why there might be a low number this year for getting into the playoffs. Will 19 points be enough? What about 21? 24? With just 14 games left (15 if you're Greg Vanney), the Galaxy need a confidence boost. But if they see another loss, will Vanney's seat get warm? What about other changes in the front office. Are jobs on the line? We've got another packed show to prepare you for Atlanta United on Sunday!

And did the two-forward set do everything and more for the LA Galaxy? On today's show, we've got a packed schedule. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira have 120 minutes of Galaxy-talk on the way for you because there was only one show this week, thanks to some weird game schedules. So on a Wednesday night, we bring you all the hectic Galaxy news you need to know. The guys will start by talking to TheStriker.com's Managing Editor Phil West about how that subscription-based service is coming to Los Angeles. And why they think LA is the perfect place to expand their coverage outside of Texas. Then Josh and Eric want to break down the 4-4-2 and talk about the 4-0 win over Montreal. How did Javier Hernandez and Dejan Joveljic play together? And why will Greg Vanney use that formation sparingly? Plus, did a meeting with Efrain Alvarez point the youngster in the right direction? Will his aggressive game against Montreal be the stepping stone to a longer MLS career? Then the guys want to talk about the transfer rumors that saw Uruguayan defensive midfielder Gaston Brugman sign with the team on Wednesday and why Jesse Lingard rumors aren't fake. But can the Galaxy get him over the line? And is this simply a reaction to LAFC signing Gareth Bale? And Josh will kill some other rumors that have been hanging around while passing down some of the conversations that were had with Vanney over a long sit-down on Saturday afternoon. Finally, Josh and Eric will get you ready for El Trafico on Friday night and tell you why the Galaxy have the least amount of pressure they've had going into one of these games in a while. Can the "mental midgets" finally pressure the Galaxy in a game this year?

A 25th-minute red card to Kevin Cabral threw the game- already 1-0 to the visitors- into even greater disarray. But could some positives come out of a second half that was reminiscent of some of the better performances the Galaxy have had this year? Is scoring two goals while down a man enough of a gut check for this team? And has Greg Vanney already lost the team? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and special guest host Nikki Kay (SpectrumSN sports/sideline reporter) want to talk about this wild Galaxy game. Josh and Nikki will start by reminding everyone that the transfer window is open, and Nikki will tell you what Vanney is expecting from a new defensive midfielder. Then it's a deep dive into some of the good and a lot of the bad of the game against Minnesota. What did Nikki see from the sidelines? What reaction did the team provide in the last 45 minutes? And is the clock ticking on Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to start scoring goals and looking dangerous? Then Josh and Nikki want to prepare you for Spectrum's coverage of the July 4th matchup between LA and CF Montreal. Can a Montreal side that just outplayed Seattle falter against a Galaxy team that can't decide if they're good or not? We've got a lot to talk about, and we'll need you to listen along!

Even if you still believe this is a good team, it's not always easy to see. And there are plenty of ways you could take the highs and the lows. So with a forced weekend off, it almost feels like the Galaxy got worse by not playing. Although with the loss to USL side Sacramento Republic still hanging over their heads, maybe it was good to get a short break. On today's show, host Josh Guesman (Kevin Baxter is away in Qatar doing World Cup prep) is talking about all the moves around the LA area and why Galaxy fans are tough to please. Josh will update you on quotes from Greg Vanney at training today, tell you why the Galaxy seem more set on two players now in this upcoming window, and why Vanney really wants a defensive midfielder. But does Vanney have a point? During the show, Josh will also talk about the two names that might be headed toward the Galaxy once the transfer window opens and go over the roadblocks to bringing in two international players this summer. Finally, he's getting you ready for the Galaxy's match with Minnesota United on Wednesday night and why this feels like a game the Galaxy should win. But how many times have we said that before? We've got a packed show for you, and we're delighted you decided to come outside, get some fresh air, and just breathe in all this soccer talk!
