Chaos, Red Cards, an LA Galaxy win, and Chicharito making defenders look bad

- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy got a 3-1 victory over the Portland Timbers on Sunday afternoon in one of the craziest, most unpredictable games (in a bad way) in recent memory. But Chicharito is scoring goals, and the Galaxy did things they wouldn't have done in 2021. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the win over the Timbers, talk about some pregame activities that didn't make the broadcast, and start to get you ready for the first El Trafico of 2022. The guys will start with their recap of the Galaxy's win in Portland and how Efrain Alvarez stepped up to create enough offense while Sam Grandsir, Kevin Cabral, and Chicharito all made the Timbers pay for some lax defense and bad fouls. Plus, Josh will tell you why not knowing what a foul was in this game led to the Galaxy getting a red card, Portland getting a red card, and the second half being the least predictable match in MLS over the weekend. And the players, coaches, and other officials all knew it! Josh and Kevin will then break down some of the charts that explain where the Galaxy are through five games and why we're cautiously watching what Chicharito is doing in 2022. And that drumbeat gets louder for Mexico's all-time goal scorer to join up with them for Qatar 2022. Will Tata finally relent? Finally, the guys talk about the addition of Preston Judd to the first team roster and why Greg Vanney is making that move now. Are you ready for the Galaxy to take on LAFC? We'll tell you about the white-out in the stadium for Saturday and other team news you need to know. Join us for 60-plus minutes of Galaxy-talk on a Monday night. You won't be disappointed.

Trapped in my shorts - A Cautionary LA Galaxy Tale

- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are working through the off-week and now have their sites set on the Portland Timbers. But this Sunday's game will first have to see some international players return. And if we're being honest, a couple of them should be getting regular call-ups and playing time, especially for Mexico. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter look at two players who should have a more significant role with El Tri but currently don't. And they look at how that could benefit the Galaxy if it all fell into place. But will Julian Araujo flourish under Tata Martino, or will he continue to ride the bench? And is the pressure getting to him? Have we seen that with both the Galaxy and Mexico? Plus, is Mexico making the same mistake as Jurgen Klinsmann and Sweden? Are they letting their pride keep them from capturing the last competitive breaths of one of their country's greatest goal-scorers? So what does Javier Hernandez need to do with the Galaxy to get Tata's attention? Josh and Kevin will also dive into the Galaxy's demanding schedule, tell you why the Galaxy still don't have a TV deal they've told us about yet, and why there are three or four pretenders above the playoff line in the Western Conference. And the Galaxy might be one of them. We've got a packed show tonight, and we're moving at an unusually quick clip. So buckle up for the return of CoG after a relaxing Thursday off!
