But it is certainly one they should be able to handle. That's even when you take five players off the roster with their participation in the Gold Cup. Our goal is to get you ready for the Galaxy's longest road trip of the season on today's podcast. It's a road trip that will see the Galaxy take on two of the worst teams in Major League Soccer but play three games in eight days -- with two of those games being played at altitude. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are well versed in Galaxy news and all the injury and availability updates you'll need before turning on the TV this Saturday! The guys will start with going over Efrain Alvarez's contract extension and why the Galaxy will use the U-22 rules to their fullest advantage. But what exactly does that mean for Alvarez and Julian Araujo in salary and salary cap? We'll explain. Josh and Eric will also talk about the All-Star Game as well and why you shouldn't vote for Galaxy players, but if you do, these are the guys who are probably already going, so you won't be hurting anything! Then it's an update on where Galaxy players stand in their Gold Cup appearances in a segment that will no be called Gold CupDates. Because why not? And while we throw in a couple of other stats and exciting things you'll want to know as you watch the games for the rest of the year, Josh and Eric also want you to prepare for the Vancouver Whitecaps and what they are might be presenting on Saturday night.

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps and international football chat.What a few weeks of fantastic football we've had to watch, and there's another few weeks ahead. The Whitecaps also played another game, and we'll be looking at all of that action across the globe this episode.The 'Caps extended their winless run to eight with a midweek loss too RSL. We look back at that, try and work out where it's all going wrong, and question whether the imminent new additions will turn the season around or is MDS in for a further tough time of it when the team get back to Vancouver.Despite MLS playing lots of matches, international competitions have been in full flow and we talk Canada in the Gold Cup, Messi finally winning a Copa America, and the highs of Italy's win at Euro 2020 and the lows of the abuse England's penalty takers have received.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:02.37: Intro and football cards09.27: Whitecaps News of the Week - another loss, where is it all going wrong, MDS' future, Cornelius loaned out, transfer rumours51.07: Canada and Gold Cup chat64.21: Copa America chat73.12: Euro 2020 chat92.41: Wavelength - The Chromosones - Goalkeeper

The Rooster and the Villain are back at it. Discussing Euro 2020 because it's been epic. We also delve into MLS, NISA Independent Cup, Gold Cup, Copa, Tottenham and Villa, and more. Fun little convo.

We talked about transfers -- the done ones and the undone ones. Then we got to the Gold Cup. The Haiti match on Sunday is kind of the "big one," if there is such a thing. Berhalter should run out his best lineup and it'd sure be nice not to need points from Canada a week later so we'd better get 3 against Haiti.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with a preview of the Copa America final and talk about how good Messi has looked with Argentina, his last chance to win an international trophy, and how Neymar and Brazil stack up against Argentina. (08:02). The guys then talk about the EURO 2020 semifinals match between Spain and Italy; La Roja dazzled but could not score. Italy reverts to the traditional style for the victory, and is it coming home for England? (29:22).

But the off-the-field won't be the only explosive action. No, the Galaxy will be hosting Sporting KC and the no. 2 and no. 3 teams in the conference both want to come out on top! Hosts Josh Guesmand Eric Vieira get through all the Galaxy news that has landed since Monday night. They'll start by discussing the media call on Thursday afternoon and what we could learn from Greg Vanney, Jonathan Bond, and Sebastian Lletget. But the most significant topic of discussion will be the Galaxy's grueling scheduling in July and August and why the Gold Cup will take away five Galaxy players for most of the month. Can Vanney make some deals to keep a player or two to ease that burden? And who are the five players who will make the pilgrimage to the CONCACAF Gold Cup? Finally, Josh and Eric break down one of those stupid rumors that won't go away before getting you ready for Sporting KC on Sunday night. The Galaxy have a challenging game against one of the most in-form teams in MLS. Is this a game that the Galaxy can take all three points from? As always, we thank you for listening and watching our shows, and we hope that we can keep you updated on your favorite team in MLS!

Long episode on the Gold Cup roster, who we’d like to see from the 60-man preliminary roster, and who we think Berhalter is likely to select.

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back to talk about gold ole US of A! We are going to do a recap of the recent group of games that the USMNT has played and give our reaction to the games, performances by individual players, and general outlook for the team.

With midweek and weekend games coming fast and furious, rebounding could be the key to getting off on the right foot for a brutal stretch of games that won't stop coming! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to take you through the busy road ahead for the Galaxy and talk about why the team should be frustrated after a loss to the Seattle Sounders on Saturday night! Josh and Kevin will start by recounting their experience at the stadium and why nothing beats having fans in the stands and getting to say hi to so many people. But then it's on to evaluating how the Galaxy played against Seattle. There's detailed talk about the formation Vanney was playing and why things didn't quite work out the way the club wanted. But there are some positives as well. And if you lump everything together, what are you left with? The guys will give you updates on Raveloson and Jonathan dos Santos and talk about the injury to Dan Steres and why it comes at a crucial time. Plus, if the Galaxy wanted to see Kevin Cabral take a step forward, Saturday night wasn't that night. But along the way, the guys will update you on standings, talk about Sebastian Lletget, Jonathan Bond, Julian Araujo, and the upcoming Gold Cup, and how many players the team things will be leaving them. Josh and Kevin will also get you ready for the game against the Vancouver Whitecaps and why it's the most winnable game of the next two, but certainly not a lock. Would a draw be good enough? It's a packed show full of Galaxy talk and opinion! And we're glad you chose us to get you through a bunch of rapid-fire games!

A Gold Cup Full of Galaxy Players? Depth an Issue for LA? by Corner Of The Galaxy

A 4-game window for Nations League in late May and early June, and then a likely entirely different group of players for the Gold Cup in July. The Nations League roster is pretty easy to figure out. For the Gold Cup, though, we went full Scuffed wishlist, because it's anybody's guess.

It's an international break and the US Men's National Team has good players on it, some of whom were even allowed by doctors and public health authorities to play with the team. Dest, Pulisic, Reyna, Aaronsen, formations, Musah, the Gold Cup, it's all here. Support the show

Hope fuels football fans. For Vancouver Whitecaps, the slow death march to their postseason hopes finally being extinguished came it's inevitable conclusion on Saturday. For the Canadian national team, hope is still there of beating the US to get to the final four of the Nations League and clinching a place in the Hex for World Cup qualifying. We look at both teams in this episode, kicking things off with a look at the 'Caps season ending defeat to New York City FC, the earlier loss to Montreal Impact and the travel issues that followed, and we ask "what now?" over these final four games of the year and hear from head coach Marc Dos Santos. Turning our attention to Canada, we hear from head coach John Herdman and sit down for chats with Whitecaps Russell Teibert and Max Crepeau about the Gold Cup, the Nations League, and World Cup qualifying. We look at the week's happenings around MLS and chat with NYCFC's birthday boy goalscorer Gary Mackay-Steven.

Summertime, and it's quiet for now around the indoor field, but there has been plenty of activity in the offseason. Not much for the Sockers, though. In the first of an occasional summer podcast regathering, Craig Elsten and Nate Abaurrea get together to discuss the MASL league meetings, the heavy activity of the Ontario Fury in the league's free agent window, and what to expect from the Sockers' summer. Plus, Nate recounts a month on the road covering the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the guys discuss San Diego's turnout for the USWNT World Cup Final, and Craig's visit to LAFC.

Seriously, if you love learning about the US Men's National Team and its player pool, make sure you subscribe to the One Goal newsletter: https://www.onegoal.us/ Felix and Rohan from OneGoal give us an honest opinion of the US's Gold Cup campaign. We then get hoodwinked by a secret Arsenal fan (Rohan) and he gives us his opinions on a bunch of Arse topics. We finish out the episode by getting hot and bothered over Tottenham's signings and Jimmy leaves us cliffhung (not a word) with the Wan-Bissaka signing for Man United. Although every single Rooster and the Devil episode ends with a mostly original song, I'm particularly happy with this one about Tottenham and the Premier League coming back soon. Hugs and Kisses XOXO

A long episode breaking down the loss to Mexico, the opening flurry from the US, the gradual annexation of the game by Mexico, and that 20-minute period of utter helplessness in the second half culminating in the match-winning goal for El Tri. We try to discuss what this game and the overall performance in the Gold Cup all mean for the USMNT and the player pool in the fall and beyond.

The USWNT win the World Cup and we are glued to Ashlyn Harris' Instagram stories. There is seriously no better television right now. The victory parade begins now and it will be skipping right by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We also recap the Gold Cup Final between USA and Mexico. We also talk about the best matches this week in MLS.
