And while that won't help them in 2025, maybe the momentum they started in the second half of the season will help next season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Damian Calhoun (Southern California News Group) discuss the win on Saturday night, the roster rebuilding conundrums, and their votes for Player of the Year and Defender of the Year. Who deserves these very real honors, and how can you justify them in a season that was just so poor?

And a win or a draw over FC Dallas could just put them in a position to not be the worst team in the league. On today's show, host Josh Guesman talk about his fear of scary movies, why his wife would like to see him with more hair, and how the LA Galaxy need to feed Diego Fagundez so he can close out 2025 with that 80/80 record he's been chasing. Plus, who would you put as your Player of the Year? Defender of the year? Why are we all looking forward to this season being over? Let's talk about it all in a little group therapy session right here on Corner of the Galaxy! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 17, just a few shows past number 1,200!

But there's even more to play for even while the Galaxy, and most of the rest of the league, have this weekend off. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's win over Austin and why the game got so physical. Was the type of game played good for the Galaxy as they got the playoff atmosphere they'll be facing soon enough? And who are the Galaxy's top players in 2024? Can you vote for Player of the Year? Defender of the Year? Let's talk about a busy weekend for the Galaxy and why Greg Vanney seems worried about Joseph Paintsill. -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 16, just a few shows past show no. 1,100!

And after a very disappointing season, the Galaxy have an opportunity to cause some chaos for the Western Conference. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira get you ready for the Galaxy's final showdown of the 2023 season and tell you why this was not a good year for the Galaxy. The guys will update you on injuries, discuss some player contracts that are coming due, and discuss some grades for the outgoing class of Designated Players. Will Douglas Costa and Javier Hernandez be back in Galaxy uniforms? Will Chicharito show up to Fan Appreciation Day? And have Chicharito and Costa meant to the Galaxy during their tenures? The guys want to break down the Dallas game and tell you why it will absolutely matter to Dallas and what's at stake in the conference. Plus, there are updates on the Fan Council, a new mini-pitch in Lakewood, and Josh reveals his ballot for Player of the Year and Defender of the Year for the Galaxy. It's a packed show!

And it's going to be two hours of absolute mayhem. Are you ready for Decision Day on steroids? Are you ready for multiple scenarios that get the Galaxy to the post-season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the Galaxy's draw with Seattle, the lineup choices Greg Vanney made, and the stuttering development of a Young Designated Player that got it all wrong and could still cost the Galaxy a playoff spot. Josh and Sophie want to get at the heart of the Galaxy's woes over the last five seasons and why a big club like the Galaxy can't fill the seats. Is it only about winning? Or is it something else? Are the Galaxy missing characters? Are they missing stars? Your hosts are also updating you on Dennis te Kloese's contract and why the Galaxy picked up his option. Does that mean that te Kloese is staying for 2022? Not. So. Fast. Josh will introduce the players he thinks will make the end-of-the-year awards for the Galaxy and why one name, in particular, keeps popping up. Could we see history with the Player of the Year and Defender of the Year awards going to the same person? Finally, Josh and Sophie want to get you ready for a "must-win" game that is both a must-win and not a must-win. It isn't very clear, but we're more than prepared to explain what's about to happen. Keep your phones handy during the match. This show is over 90 minutes of Galaxy-talk that you'll need ahead of the simultaneous kick-offs on Sunday. Can the Galaxy beat a Minnesota United team that only needs a draw to get into the playoffs? This is it! The last show of the regular season. Will we be back on Monday to preview the playoffs? Or will we be starting the post-mortem of a 2021 season that went well off the rails? Let's go!
