How did the LA Galaxy earn their point against LAFC? And what does that mean for a team that is pressing toward the playoffs? Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter walk you through the Galaxy's trip to take on LAFC and discuss who stood out and who didn't have a good game. Would you want to change the lineup to get a better A+ set of players? And can you do that without Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez being on the field? The guys will even talk TV production and some big numbers as far as ratings go. Is El Tráfico the biggest MLS tv property? And does that give the league license to do stupid things? Josh and Kevin will also discuss the Galaxy's upcoming schedule and why some teams won't be taking an international break. That includes the Colorado Rapids, and it's a game Galaxy fans should watch! Finally, the guys will discuss some Galaxy charts and graphs and get into a possible formation change for the club. Would you move into a three-man backline to shore up the defense? Would you move into a five-man backline when you go on the road? Should defense be first? We've got another fun show for you as the Galaxy survive their international break with six or seven players headed to their national teams. Thanks for joining us!

After a "pedestrian" performance against San Jose, can the Galaxy put their rivals on the ropes in their own stadium? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to get you ready for a critical game against LAFC, but they also want to get you updated on a lot of Galaxy news and the All-Star Game festivities. The guys will start with a quick recap of what made the All-Star Game fun and what needed to be improved. And because the Galaxy had two players in the game, they'll also talk about how Julian Araujo and Sebastian Lletget did in the second half of MLS's win over Liga MX. Do the viewership numbers tell the story? And why did a bad field steal some of the thunder from an otherwise very entertaining game? Josh and Eric will also discuss the National Team call-ups the Galaxy might have to endure and tell you why Julian Araujo is still in limbo when it comes to his international future. What's best for the Galaxy and Araujo? And you all know it wouldn't be a podcast if Josh didn't break out some charts and talk to you about the Galaxy's upcoming schedule. How difficult is the closing road for the club? And why should you be optimistic about where the numbers say the Galaxy should finish? Finally, there's a good look at two struggling rivals that will let it all be decided on Saturday. Will this El Trafico be different than others? And what do two dads have to say about traveling to hostile territory? We've got a great show for you today, and we're glad that you trusted us to get you ready for a big one! Thanks for watching and listening!

Berhalter called up 26 players for the first three World Cup qualifiers of the 2022 cycle. The time has come! We discuss the selections (mostly pleased) and spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to rotate for three games in seven days. There will be lots of tough choices and on-the-fly conundrums but from the comfort of our desks in Middle America we have sketched out some possibilities.
