But with a big stumble against Austin FC on Wednesday night, it feels like the season has finally become too much to beat back. It's not like the math was on their side to begin with. On today's show, host Josh Guesman dives into the loss to Austin and why El Trafico takes on new meaning -- a chance NOT to be embarrassed against a heavily favored side of LAFC. Can the Galaxy find a formula that puts balls into the back of the net without allowing silly and stupid mistakes?

The top of the Western Conference and possibly home-field advantage could be decided on Saturday night. What goes into this massive El Trafico? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira prepare you for the biggest matchup in the short history of these two clubs (regular season anyway). What could a win mean for the Galaxy for the rest of the season and into the playoffs? How vital is home-field advantage to the Galaxy? And can they clinch a post-season berth early this year?

But Cobi won't just be talking about the LA Galaxy's second team. He'll also answer questions about the growth of Major League Soccer and what he thinks of the 2024 club. Should we see a Cobi Jones statue in front of the stadium? Josh and Kevin will also discuss the weekend's results and why the game against LAFC has become the biggest game in quite some time.

And while the win against the Earthquakes was an important one, all attention shifts to El Trafico and the Rose Bowl on July 4th. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter go over the win on Saturday night and why Riqui Puig and Gabriele Pec had such good performances. But Kevin wants to know if Puig is really a game-changer. Can he be the big difference in the Galaxy's post-season fortunes? Plus, have the expectations for this Galaxy team shifted since the ball was kicked 21 games ago?

Hosts Josh Guesman and Alex Ruiz will plot a path through Galaxy News and into this weekend's game to get you all the essential information ahead of what is sure to be another crazy game. But why could they possibly label this the least important El trafico? And what are some keys to the game for the Galaxy? Plus, will Puig's groin get through this game? Will he survive another yellow card game? The guys will also wade into the Billy Sharp Baby Shark debacle and tell you to stop being so serious. But will Sharp get the start over Dejan Joveljic? We've got a great show that is sure to get you ready for all the fun this weekend.

And the emotional results are probably just as important as getting points. But that puts a lot of pressure on a team that has, so far this season, not handled the pressure well. On today's show, host Josh Guesman gets you ready for the Galaxy's trip to San Jose and starts to get you thinking about the El Trafico on July 4th. But where some games have results dictated by form, it's likely the next couple of games for the Galaxy will come down to emotions. And because the Galaxy are a passionate team, that could mean they're either set up for success or damned by failure. Join us as we talk through the game against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium. Let's go!

But then a bad loss on the road turns into an international embarrassment. And the LA Galaxy's brand erodes even further. Funny that the Galaxy had a real chance at gaining some momentum heading into a lopsided El Trafico without Supporters Groups in the stadium. And now? Is there a response that makes up for two boneheaded plays and two red cards in a game that may have already been decided? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the faults of the Galaxy in the game against Houston and why all the pressure is cooking this club. And they don't seem to be reacting well. Josh and Kevin will give some broad strokes about the 3-0 loss to Houston. Still, it will be a much more comprehensive look at the club, how it's been created in the offseason, and why an incomplete club is still an indictment of a Galaxy side that is dealing with a summer international transfer ban while being overly selective in the primary window. But the loss isn't just their sixth winless game of the season, it's also part of the mounting frustration from inside the locker room. Has Vanney lost the locker room? Who can fire whom? Why is Vanney not on the hot seat right now? And a lot more. We've got a stellar 90-minute show just waiting for you. We'll just call it group therapy.

In a very comfortable performance, LA was able to out-defense the defensive side of Nashville SC and, in turn, make Martin Caceres and Sega Coulibaly stars of the show. On today's podcast, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 1-0 win over Nashville on Saturday while also keeping an eye firmly on the next matchup. That's right. It's another Playoff El Trafico (Don Garber is so happy right now). And the biggest game in all of MLS (we'll keep saying it) gets more significant with the added pressure of the playoffs. The guys will start by discussing the win over Nashville and how the Galaxy's midfield had the match won reasonably early. Did the visitors make a mistake by not trying to match up with the Galaxy's midfield? Did the two-forward set cause some confusion in the first half, but not enough to worry the Galaxy? And did the Galaxy really shut down two very talented strikers -- one of which won the Golden Boot and is the likely MLS MVP? There are so many angles to judge this game. Did Douglas Costa's stumbles in the first-half cause the Galaxy to stumble? How vital was Julian Araujo's play on the edges? And were fans right to boo Kevin Cabral before he even stepped on the field? We've got a lot to talk about, and then we hang in there to ensure you have the most updated bracket. Will Josh and Kevin wow you with their penalty prediction skills? Join us for a special playoff edition of Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box.

And did the two-forward set do everything and more for the LA Galaxy? On today's show, we've got a packed schedule. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira have 120 minutes of Galaxy-talk on the way for you because there was only one show this week, thanks to some weird game schedules. So on a Wednesday night, we bring you all the hectic Galaxy news you need to know. The guys will start by talking to TheStriker.com's Managing Editor Phil West about how that subscription-based service is coming to Los Angeles. And why they think LA is the perfect place to expand their coverage outside of Texas. Then Josh and Eric want to break down the 4-4-2 and talk about the 4-0 win over Montreal. How did Javier Hernandez and Dejan Joveljic play together? And why will Greg Vanney use that formation sparingly? Plus, did a meeting with Efrain Alvarez point the youngster in the right direction? Will his aggressive game against Montreal be the stepping stone to a longer MLS career? Then the guys want to talk about the transfer rumors that saw Uruguayan defensive midfielder Gaston Brugman sign with the team on Wednesday and why Jesse Lingard rumors aren't fake. But can the Galaxy get him over the line? And is this simply a reaction to LAFC signing Gareth Bale? And Josh will kill some other rumors that have been hanging around while passing down some of the conversations that were had with Vanney over a long sit-down on Saturday afternoon. Finally, Josh and Eric will get you ready for El Trafico on Friday night and tell you why the Galaxy have the least amount of pressure they've had going into one of these games in a while. Can the "mental midgets" finally pressure the Galaxy in a game this year?

Maybe you shouldn't be. And maybe you should be. After all, the LA Galaxy dominated LAFC like no other team they've played all year. It was the total performance from start to finish and significantly raised the bar as to what you should expect from this team. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 victory over LAFC and why there are standout performances across the board. Why did Raheem Edwards cement himself as an El Trafico legend after this game? Why did Kevin Cabral finally find everything clicking? And why was Sam Grandsir Josh's man of the match? We've got 60+ minutes of Galaxy-talk that will cover the broadcast details of the game and why it was called from Florida, and why Joe Tutino was even invited to call the game with Max Bretos. Josh and Sophie will also discuss the after-match confrontations. Did you like things being physical in this game? And are you now convinced of the power of the El Trafico? Is this rivalry real enough for everyone? Finally, Josh and Sophie will tell you the Galaxy's path to the US Open Cup and why the club is now firmly in the "win it" column. Plus, they'll get you ready for the last game before the break! Austin FC are invading Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday, and it's going to be another tough match. As always, thanks for joining us, and enjoy some time off as Josh takes a break for a couple of shows.

First, it was Dallas who hung three goals on the Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. And on Sunday, it was Houston's turn to take the Galaxy for three goals. So what's the problem? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter have a long free-flowing discussion about the Galaxy's struggles against Houston and why it doesn't seem to matter the lineup. The Galaxy have a chance creating problem that only appears to be solved with Victory Vazquez on the field. And then they have a finishing problem as well. The guys want to dive into the rotated lineup and why Dejan Joveljic was one of the better players on the field for LA. And why Efrain Alvarez is causing all sorts of issues for Greg Vanney. Plus, why does Vanney think there should be a dedicated defensive midfielder. And why he thinks creation will come from Mark Delgado if he gets that. Did Delgado do that in Toronto? But does all this go away if the Galaxy can advance in the US Open Cup past LAFC on Wednesday night? And while LAFC are coming off a win in Columbus, they haven't exactly been setting the world on fire in their last three games either. We've got an extra-long show to get you ready for another El Trafico and discuss the Galaxy's problems that aren't going away anytime soon.

They'll take on the Chicago Fire on Saturday in a game that could extend a very long streak for the Galaxy. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to get you ready for that road game and catch you up on some Galaxy news and media calls you need to know before watching Saturday's game. Josh and Eric will start by hyping Saturday's live show. Josh and friends (Kevin Baxter, Christian Miles, and Sophie Nicolaou) will be out at the LA Galaxy Sports Complex for the LA Galaxy Block Party in Torrance for a special live show from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. Then they're going to stick around for the watch party where the Galaxy will take on the Fire. The guys will update you on where you can watch the game on Saturday and talk about why that's even a thing just two days from the local broadcast debut. Plus, there's an August 3rd money grab that needs to be explained. We'll tell you why the Galaxy will get to make history at SoFi stadium and why everyone should be concerned about the security implications of putting four powerful fan groups into the same stadium for a double-header. Are you going to SoFi? And should the Galaxy play an A-team lineup? And what does this have to do with future El Trafico's and the 2026 World Cup? Finally, the guys will get you caught up on the joint media call and what you can expect from a defensively sound Chicago side that isn't going to want to give an inch to the questionable Galaxy offense. We've got a packed show for you ahead of a big weekend for the club. As always, thanks for joining us!

But Chicharito is scoring goals, and the Galaxy did things they wouldn't have done in 2021. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the win over the Timbers, talk about some pregame activities that didn't make the broadcast, and start to get you ready for the first El Trafico of 2022. The guys will start with their recap of the Galaxy's win in Portland and how Efrain Alvarez stepped up to create enough offense while Sam Grandsir, Kevin Cabral, and Chicharito all made the Timbers pay for some lax defense and bad fouls. Plus, Josh will tell you why not knowing what a foul was in this game led to the Galaxy getting a red card, Portland getting a red card, and the second half being the least predictable match in MLS over the weekend. And the players, coaches, and other officials all knew it! Josh and Kevin will then break down some of the charts that explain where the Galaxy are through five games and why we're cautiously watching what Chicharito is doing in 2022. And that drumbeat gets louder for Mexico's all-time goal scorer to join up with them for Qatar 2022. Will Tata finally relent? Finally, the guys talk about the addition of Preston Judd to the first team roster and why Greg Vanney is making that move now. Are you ready for the Galaxy to take on LAFC? We'll tell you about the white-out in the stadium for Saturday and other team news you need to know. Join us for 60-plus minutes of Galaxy-talk on a Monday night. You won't be disappointed.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with the top MLS headlines that include the El Trafico recap (6:52), who wears the LA crown, LAFC, or Galaxy? Minnesota Loons’ struggles, Columbus rebrand. The guys then recap CONCACAF Champions League and predict the semifinals (38:45). They also react to UEFA Champions League semifinal results, Christian Pulisic’s impact, Zach Steffen, Manchester City’s dominance, PSG falling apart, and the final predictions (47:05). The guys then look at Neymar’s extension with PSG, the “Bayernliga,” League 1, and La Liga title race, Zidane’s upset with VAR, Jose Mourinho to Roma. They Looked at #AskAlexi, where fans ask about the prevalence of English coaches at the US youth level, if Premier League is the best in the world, and if Alexi ever gets tired of people being jerks to him on social media (1:22:50).

But what really made the game another instant-classic El Tráfico was how the Galaxy fought for everything they got and absorbed almost constant pressure to secure the victory. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's victory and a little thing called "heart." And while we usually shy away from talking about heart, it's something the Galaxy seem to have already figured out in this very young season. Josh and Kevin will start with some updates on new Designated Player Kevin Cabral and tell you why he probably could have played on Saturday, but why you should definitely expect him this weekend against Austin FC. The guys discuss the standout performances from the Galaxy defense and why Jonathan Bond, Derrick Williams, and Julian Araujo all deserved mention on the MLS Team of the Week. And are the Galaxy just catching teams at the right time? Can an argument be made that Seattle is the only good team they've played? Or is something else at play here. Plus, the guys will get you updated on transfer rumors and tell you why a former Chelsea player isn't on the list of people the Galaxy want to bring in. But there is someone. Is the second rumor the Galaxy's mystery man? We've got a packed show ready to get you through a busy week that ends with another home game. What colors will the Galaxy wear this weekend?
