They lost back-to-back games for the first time in 2021, and Greg Vanney thinks they've got a defensive mentality problem. Is everything falling apart? Should the Galaxy be content to be as good as the 2019 team but no more? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to bring you the latest Galaxy news. And that will mean breaking news about the MLS All-Star Game and who will not be available for El Trafico. The guys will start with Kevin on the road to rub elbows with the MLS Players Union. So enjoy the car noise but also get updated on some interesting admissions by MLS today. Will Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez be ruled out for Saturday's El Trafico? Is MLS bullheaded and stupid? And would they sabotage the league's biggest rivalry by making sure their biggest stars don't play? Josh and Kevin will also comment on MLS's possible regional TV deal that is anything but regional. Would there be enough money to go around for all the clubs? And are you ready for all Galaxy games to be found in one place without any blackouts? Then, once Kevin departs, Josh gets into some of the details surrounding the Galaxy's uninspiring loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday night. What did Greg Vanney have to say after the game? And why do the Galaxy have three weeks to get things right? What about Kevin Cabral? Do you bench him after a lackluster performance? Do you look at the rotation of Williams as the one big mistake Vanney made? And why is Dan Steres on the Galaxy's bad list? We've got a ton to talk about in a much longer episode than we anticipated! So thanks for joining us!

Who is Berhalter likely to select, who could be his cute selection, and who do we wish he'd select that he probably won't. The overlap between Berhalter's choices and ours is much heavier than it was in the past, because, as Greg puts it, the pool is increasingly "cute-proof."

Atlanta United are on a win streak! But, still no Pineda on the sideline as we face DC United tonight at 8PM. We talk about Luiz Araujo, how to say his name, and how he performed on his debut at Mercedez Benz on Wednsdsay night. Dave get's into the tactics of how to incorporate Luiz Araujo in the side. We have some concerns about our depth in the middle and defensive side of the ball. Our second live broadcast was not a flop, so listen and subscribe.

And now they have to throw a ton of effort into a Cali-Clasico that could mean ending a surge of somewhat positive results from the San Jose Earthquakes. Will the Galaxy start to put some things together with just 14 games left in the season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicalou discuss all the Galaxy news and info you need to head into a Friday night match that has a national TV audience, and that kicks off a rivalry weekend. Josh and Sophie will start with the loss to Colorado and what they saw from a frenetic Galaxy side that couldn't find the finishing touches despite several good stints of play. But there was also a horrible start to the game and some questions surrounding Jonathan Bond's performance. Did Greg Vanney cause some problems between Bond and Jonathan Klinsmann? Or is there more to the "nervous moments" from Bond during his two most recent games? Plus, how do you feel about Jonathan dos Santos' play over the last couple of games? Is he making a push for the Galaxy to keep him as a Designated Player? Or is his time with the club coming to a quick end? And what about injury updates for Friday night's game? Finally, we're discussing the Galaxy's match with the San Jose Earthquakes. Can the original rivalry still get the blood pumping? Can you still call it a rivalry? Are the Galaxy ready to make a sprint to the playoffs? Or is there still some worry that it could all come crashing down? And does Chicharito put this team into another level? Does his inclusion mean cup thoughts? We've got a great show that will get you ready for another rapid-fire game! See you at the stadium!

Alexi and Mosse open the show with the latest MLS news which includes, a recap of Sunday’s Portland Timbers vs. Seattle Sounders rivalry game, an explanation of where NYCFC ranks in Alexi’s Top 5 MLS teams, Atlanta United’s new coaching hire Gonzalo Pineda, and NYRB’s struggle for relevancy (08:40). They then look at the Leagues Cup competition and question the lineup choices SKC head coach Peter Vermes made in his 6-1 defeat vs. Leon at the Leagues Cup. Then the guys move to Concacaf Champions League to breakdown Philadelphia Union’s loss to America and answer the age old question, will we ever see an MLS team win the competition (33:03). We then run through all of the European soccer news, Pulisic’s goal at Chelsea, Joe Scally’s Bundesliga debut, Messi’s PSG saga, and so much more in the European Roundup (44:12). Questions about how the USMNT’s style of play in the Gold Cup and Nation’s League left fans concerned about the future of the team, David Ochoa’s decision to commit to Mexico, and what the soccer equivalent of the Field of Dreams baseball game would be are all answered in #AskAlexi (1:00:53). Finally, Alexi ends the show with a celebration of Carli Lloyd’s decorated career as she announces her retirement from soccer in another remote edition of the State of the Union Podcast (1:18:52).

But why should the Galaxy be hyper-focused on Colorado on Tuesday night? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 1-0 win over Minnesota and why Greg Vanney deserves a gold star for being willing to give away a road game while still getting three points. Rotation is an essential part of the Galaxy's strategy through the rest of this congested schedule. So a win on the road with a rotated lineup should make fans very excited for what is coming. And while Klinsmann was the big takeaway from the game -- and is undoubtedly making some fans think that the number two keeper might get the start again -- there are plenty of solid performances in that road win that need to be discussed. Kevin Cabra, Dejan Joveljić, Niko Hamalainen, and plenty of others deserve some acknowledgment over a hard-fought game that lets the Galaxy really attack their Tuesday night match with the Rapids. Plus, Josh and Kevin will update you on all the injuries the Galaxy are suffering and why getting Sebastian Lletget back after a tragic family loss is another big deal for the Galaxy's growth as a team. Finally, the guys are getting you ready for Colorado on Tuesday and discussing why the Galaxy and the Rapids are very similar. And that makes some sense when you compare the two coaches that were once teammates on the Galaxy. We've got a packed show with plenty of updates as you get ready for a weird Tuesday night game against the Rapids.

They want you to be fully prepared for a long week that starts on Saturday, includes a Tuesday, and finally ends on a Friday night with Star Wars.

So what does that mean for the Galaxy and attending games at Dignity Health Sports Park? We'll explain what could eventually be coming down the road! Then the guys will dive into rumors surrounding the re-signing of Dennis te Kloese and why the Galaxy might decide it's time to move on. But also why they might not want to wait if they're going to keep te Kloese. Could the Galaxy get caught out in today's high-paced footballing world if they give one person too much to handle?
