They're going to be wearing their Tech Green kits while the Portland Timbers come into Dignity Health Sports Park with a mission of wrecking the Galaxy's rebound. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy news you need to know before you get into the stadium on Friday night! The guys will start with the news that dos Santos Brothers lost their father on Thursday. The famous Zizinho passed away, leaving the very close family without their patriarch. And on the day his Dad passed away, Jonathan dos Santos started for the Mexican National Team to win over Canada (the game ended 30 seconds after our show). Josh and Eric will also update you on Sebastian Lletget's performance with the USMNT and why the Galaxy are hoping to capture some of the gamesmanship Lletget highlights while on international duty. Could Rayan Raveloson free up Lletget to be a more dynamic playmaker? The guys will then talk about season ticker renewals and why the Galaxy will always increase prices even if they haven't hosted a playoff game since 2016. Then there's another good update on the Dejan Jovelić transfer and why you should probably expect it to get done. And do the rumors of Pipo Gonzalez going to Alajualense make sense? Yes, they do! Finally, the guys are getting you ready for a challenging game against the Portland Timbers. Can the Galaxy get back on track without Chicharito? Does Sega Coulibaly find the field in this game? And who scores the goals for the club if it's not going to be Charito -- it feels like we've been asking that question a lot. We've got a packed show that is waiting for your input, your listening, and your reaction! Plus, will we see you on Saturday night at Taps? Come have an adult beverage with us! As always, thanks for listening. And we can't wait to see you at the game on Friday night!

But Dallas presents some exciting challenges. Can a depleted and road-beaten Galaxy do something that no other team has done yet? On today's show, host Josh Guesman is joined by guest-host Christian Miles -- the voice of the Galaxy's radio broadcasts -- to discuss the events surrounding the club's first draw of the season. Did the Galaxy learn from a poor start against Real Salt Lake? And can they take those lessons into the match with Dallas? Josh and Christian discuss the changes that saved the game on Wednesday night and why Greg Vanney is starting to get his adjustments spot on. Rayan Raveloson -- yes, we have the pronunciation from him, again -- is tearing up MLS, and he's doing it at a pace better than another big name Galaxy player. Will that last? And what did Julian Araujo bring to the table in the game-tying goal? What makes the youngster so good? But one player is struggling. Maybe he's a bit lost in the system, but can Kevin Cabral start to produce for the Galaxy? And why is it important to get him out of the middle of the field? Finally, Josh and Christian want to get you ready for the weird and wacky things that happen in Dallas. Are the Galaxy prepared to take another step forward on Saturday night in hostile territory? Get tickets to our live event on July 31st, and thanks, as always, for joining us!
