This week, Brad and Steve welcome in guest-host Kasey Keller to talk through the Sounders last 6 games, what to expect for Decision Day, and how they are built for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. Then, the chat with the USMNT legend about his time abroad, who starstruck him the most, and a pitch invasion or three at Millwall.

Well well well. If it isn't another Crew win-that-looked-like-a-loss followed by a loss-that-should-have-been-a-win. The lads check in... Bront talks about working the polls (not the poles), John talks about good beer, Drabby talks about playing Among Us. The lads recap games vs. DOOP and Orlando, the death of Crew defense, being winless on the road, and Caleb Porter's empty trophy case. They answer YOUR questions of the week, award man balls, and predict the season finale vs. Atlanta. #JoshWilliamsForPresident

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- We're going to be honest. We thought this show would let host Josh Guesman ramble on about the LA Galaxy draw with the Seattle Sounders and why they played better than against Real Salt Lake. But instead, about a minute before we went on air, LA Galaxy General Manager Dennis te Kloese said he'd be available for some questions. So we dropped him into the show and talked about all things Galaxy for over 30 mins. So while this show was going to cover so much about what happened on Wednesday night, instead we ended up talking with Dennis about scouting, the timing of the firing of Guillermo Barros Schelotto, analytics, Cristian Pavon's future, and why Dennis is still the best man for the job. Along the way, we'll talk about Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, why the Galaxy keep having Designated Players that are always injured, and what things Dennis has done to make the Galaxy better. And will Dominic Kinnear be given a fair shot at this head coaching job? Dennis talks about Kinnear and what he has meant for this club. Along the way, Josh will give you some injury updates, talk about Jonathan dos Santos and Sebastian Lletget both being called up to their respective national teams, and why the game against Vancouver will still be a serious affair. The season is almost over, the Galaxy are still playing to keep from being the bottom of the conference, and we've got a GM on the show. Sounds about right for 2020! A big thanks to Dennis te Kloese and the LA Galaxy for coming on the show and talking with us. Enjoy this surprise interview and don't forget to tell your friends and family about our show!

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?"

In this episode, Landon and Jeremiah share why they believe the stadium naming rights deal may already be done and speculate about who the sponsor might be after names were added to Troy Bryant's recent article. Other topics covered include: - Austin FC Academy results against FC Dallas - Daryl Grove's influence on American soccer dialogue - Rumors of a delayed start to the 2021 season - Potential train station at McKalla Place - Why Ted Lasso is amazing.
