But that also means Commissioner Don Garber gave his State of the League address and the MLS Players Association took some shots at exactly what Garber was hyping. On today's show, we'll discuss some of the State of the League comments and why the players' union is already pushing back on the critical issues for 2021. There is also some argument about when the league starts and under what CBA and conditions the players will compete. Plus, how fan behavior will have a lot to say about how MLS proceeds in 2021! Can the vaccine get MLS back on track? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss Sebastian Lletget and Julian Araujo's game with the US Men's National Team and why Araujo seems destined to be playing Olympic soccer this summer. Plus, some notebook updates with a possible interview that the Galaxy conducted and why the club's timeline appears to be working with won't see an announcement until after the first of the year. Nothing good happened in 2020 anyway, right? So here's to looking at a much better 2021 with a new Galaxy head coach. Let's get to it.

Marcus, Luke and Vish look ahead to a weekend full of Premier League barn-burners in a brand new episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! First under the Ramble magnifying glass is the Manchester derby, as Fizzer whispers up in support of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and John Stones has finally stopped playing with fire. Elsewhere, Christian Pulisic is aware of his hamstrings ahead of Chelsea vs Everton, while Gabriel Agbonlahor has an interesting theory for why James Rodriguez hasn’t been cutting it. We’re sceptical, to say the least. And, of course, there’s also a huge round of Luke’s Game with the title belt on the line!

But we weren't expecting anything so soon. We're just expecting them to take their time, check off the interviews they already have on the books, and make a decision between two guys who you can't go wrong with, right? Well, maybe not! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss why the Galaxy may not have even contacted Greg Vanney yet, and why that all makes some perfect sense. Plus, did Vanney hold off on signing a contract with Toronto because the Galaxy made some coaching moves? Josh and Kevin will dive into the U.S. Men's National Team call-ups for Julian Araujo and Efrain Alvarez and discuss why both players seem to be taking it in stride. And why a Mexico and USA tug-of-war might be great for the Galaxy. Then the guys are off to scoff at rumors that have Jonathan dos Santos moving to a team that his brother might be on his way out of and why Memo Ochoa is suddenly a guy who could be in line for the Galaxy goalkeeping spot -- but not really. And would you want Patrick Viera as your head coach? Why the man who would command attention in the locker room should be on the Galaxy's list. We've got a quick 60 minutes of Galaxy-talk, and we're glad you could join us. Now stay inside, and enjoy your Galaxy-less MLS Cup the way 2020 would want you to -- alone!

On this week's episode, Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan joins Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani to help preview on the squad's upcoming western conference clash vs Minnesota United. The hosts rewind back to Tuesday's big semifinal win against FC Dallas, and give their takes on what to watch for at Lumen Field in the conference final.

One candidate for their head coaching vacancy, and he's a former Galaxy player. What made Greg Vanney leave Toronto after a very successful run, and what could detract from what seems like a perfect person to fill the role for the struggling Galaxy? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's clear target for their coaching vacancy. Does he check all the boxes? Or does Vanney have some things working against him? After all, he got one MLS Cup with the most expensive roster in the league over multiple seasons. And did Vanney have a ton of help from the General Manager's side of things? We'll discuss Tim Lieweke's involvement with MLSE and why that certainly has something to do with his success. But the bottom line may be that Galaxy fans will need to have patience with a coach that loves to build things. And with the Galaxy, he'll need to make them back into an MLS dominant power. Plus, the guys discuss AJ DeLaGarza's future with the club and why he might be another piece to add in the offseason. Does the locker room need help? Is DeLaGarza that guy? And finally, the guys discuss some roster-filling signings of youngsters and a rumor that could see another Galaxy DP get erased from the 17 names already cemented on the team. It's a packed show for an offseason without much movement. Let's get to it before we all remember that the Galaxy should still be in the playoffs.

This is definitely the worst episode of ACES Radio ever. Seriously. Our recording bot jacked the audio up, and we repaired it as best we could. It sounds like a junior high AV club spliced it together while on a Mountain Dew bender. There's a lad check-in, recap of Crew vs. Nashville, talk of underdogs, YOUR questions of the week, score predictions, and Sean and Bront trying to cheat the prediction standings again. Get stoned off your ass and give it a listen, you might like it.
