- 2022 COG T-SHIRTS! BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It's tough to get excited about the LA Galaxy right now. 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!
