Player Call Ups

Greg, Vince and Belz convene to discuss the soon-to-be-released roster for the upcoming friendlies against South Korea and Japan, and Greg classifies each position into Locks, Poch Favorites, All Eyes on You, and Shrugs. We work our way through who's going to get called up bc he absolutely should, who Poch WILL call up, and who might deserve it but may not get the phone call. Lots of news to sprinkle throughout, including Reyna to Gladbach, Balo's very encouraging first start of the season, Pepi's return, and much more.

Vince, Tara and Belz recap the NWSL action from the weekend, Tara gives her list of centerbacks who she'd like to see called up for June, Cat getting a lot of assists in England in a short period of time, Claire Hutton balling out for the Current in Kansas City, and much more.

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!

But to start things off, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter, are talking about the US Men's National Team calling-up three Galaxy players. And while Sebastian Lletget is the most seasoned of the players headed towards the December 9th matchup with El Salvador in Miami, the real focus is on Efrain Alvarez and Julian Araujo. Both Galaxy players are now in a tug-of-war between the United States and Mexico. What could this mean for both youngsters as they head into 2021? And what does the schedule congestion look like with the Olympics being thrown into the mix? The guys will then talk about some MLS rescheduling, and what matchups have Galaxy ties as the playoffs come close to reaching their conclusion? Could a Bruce Arena and Caleb Porter matchup show Galaxy fans what could have been? Finally, Josh and Kevin discuss the roster overhaul that started today with some decisions on options. They'll discuss what changes, if any, the Galaxy have already committed to and why one name is left off this list but is still technically a Galaxy player. Plus, an update on where the Galaxy are in their search for a new head coach. Will interviews this week lead to a final answer for the club? We've got a great show lined up for you. A lot of Galaxy-talk headed your way!

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- We're going to be honest. We thought this show would let host Josh Guesman ramble on about the LA Galaxy draw with the Seattle Sounders and why they played better than against Real Salt Lake. But instead, about a minute before we went on air, LA Galaxy General Manager Dennis te Kloese said he'd be available for some questions. So we dropped him into the show and talked about all things Galaxy for over 30 mins. So while this show was going to cover so much about what happened on Wednesday night, instead we ended up talking with Dennis about scouting, the timing of the firing of Guillermo Barros Schelotto, analytics, Cristian Pavon's future, and why Dennis is still the best man for the job. Along the way, we'll talk about Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, why the Galaxy keep having Designated Players that are always injured, and what things Dennis has done to make the Galaxy better. And will Dominic Kinnear be given a fair shot at this head coaching job? Dennis talks about Kinnear and what he has meant for this club. Along the way, Josh will give you some injury updates, talk about Jonathan dos Santos and Sebastian Lletget both being called up to their respective national teams, and why the game against Vancouver will still be a serious affair. The season is almost over, the Galaxy are still playing to keep from being the bottom of the conference, and we've got a GM on the show. Sounds about right for 2020! A big thanks to Dennis te Kloese and the LA Galaxy for coming on the show and talking with us. Enjoy this surprise interview and don't forget to tell your friends and family about our show!
