We're back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian soccer chat.The MLS and CPL postseason are in full flow and it's been an exciting weekend of action, which we round up in this episode.Sadly for the Whitecaps the season is over and the big decisions have to be made as who should stay and who should make way. If the team is to take the much needed next step of becoming a side that isn't just trying to scrape into the lower playoff places but to be a top four side in the West, some difficult decisions need to be made to improve the squad significantly. We give our thoughts of who should be in, out, and who's on the bubble.Plus it's been a great year for Quebec soccer. We chat with CS Saint-Laurent U17 head coach Maxwell Arhin about his side's win at the recent U17 Boys nationals in Surrey, the rise of the game in the province, and bringing CF Montreal player Ismael Kone through at youth level.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.30: Intro - the great Panini rip-off08.25: Whitecaps In/Out/On The Bubble - Goalkeepers23.07: Whitecaps In/Out/On The Bubble - Defenders 47.00: Whitecaps In/Out/On The Bubble - Midfielders 59.02: Whitecaps In/Out/On The Bubble - Forwards 76.20: MLS playoffs round-up87.30: Wavelength - Armchair Loyal - Terry Buchanan Midfield Hardman94.10: CPL playoffs round-up and awards111.25: Maxwell Arhin interview

Host Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Carl Anka and Jack Pitt-Brooke to explore the myriad of events which led to Dele Alli making his Besiktas debut last night at just 26 years old... The panel reflect on a meteoric rise, their first impressions of a totally self-confident phenomenon who quickly became a symbol of both Pochettino's top-table party-crashers and England's new generation. Was Dele failed by a succession of coaches, is he a player born in the wrong era tactically, or even a victim of the gaps in his own footballing education such was the speed of his rise to the top? Plus, did anyone think the Everton loan would work out and do we need to challenge the narrative of what success actually looks like for Alli? Hosted on Acast.

It's called recency bias. And in this episode, we lean into it. After all, the last ten games are about finding that playoff form. And the LA Galaxy are a playoff team, right? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to talk about the gutsy, gritty game the Galaxy played against New England on Sunday night. And they want to talk about it as if there was no doubt the Galaxy would win. Josh and Kevin will talk about the lineup that Greg Vanney put out and how they executed the game plan against a cross-happy Revolution side that created many chances but could only finish one. The guys will talk about Chicharito's great pass, Daniel Aguirre's fantastic game and first MLS goal, and Riqui Puig's perfect pass for the Chicharito finish. So many things went right for the Galaxy in New England it would be hard to transfer that over to an emotional game coming up against Toronto on Wednesday, right? Kevin and Josh will talk about Vanney's return to Toronto and whether or not he'll be welcomed back to the place he helped create. And can the Galaxy's former TFC players see some extra field time? Plus, what do you do about Aguirre's confidence? Does he start again if the injured Mark Delgado finds his way north of the border? We've got a great show for you today. There are some terrible jokes, some horrible takes, and hopefully, just a bit of entertainment. As always, thanks for joining us today!

Because a win over the visiting Seattle Sounders would set them up nicely for their tough road trip and carry some positive momentum. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieria discuss all the Galaxy news that will matter on Friday night, even when some information is breaking while they talk. The guys will start by looking at the Herbalife renewal and determine if the Galaxy got what they deserved from the longest-running sponsorship in Major League Soccer. Why was having AEG as part of the negotiation important to this? And why didn't the Galaxy take this to the market? Next, the guys will focus on the press conference of Riqui Puig and why Puig may think of himself as a pioneer. Can someone with his pedigree lead young players to MLS? And can Riqui possibly match the club's and fans' expectations for him in the final ten games of the regular season? Finally, Josh and Eric cover the game with the Sounders. It's a team they haven't beaten in a very long time, but it's also a team that is slumping when they should be thriving. Can Brian Schmetzer turn them around at Dignity Health Sports Park? And Can Greg Vanney finally get some revenge on a Seattle team that stole an MLS cup from him? We've got a great show for you today, and we're thrilled that you've decided to join us. Drive safe to the game on Friday, and we'll see you back in our little Corner of the Galaxy next week.

FC Dallas hasn't been good. And the LA Galaxy can't win in Dallas. What does that all mean? Hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the current state of the LA Galaxy. They need points - any points. And they haven't taken a win from Dallas since 2015, and it will be an uphill battle on Saturday. The guys will start by discussing the few fleeting rumors that briefly included the Galaxy. They'll talk about Luis Suarez's possible move to MLS after his Nacional stay. Would you want him on the Galaxy? And what to make of French winger Denis Bouanga? Is $8 million too much to ask? And were the Galaxy misidentified in the rumor? Plus, Josh and Christian will talk about the movement of Markus Ferkranus, who will spend the rest of the season in Phoenix. Does this mean he's in the dog house? But what do the stats say about this Galaxy team? And how many points will they need to make the playoffs? Can you identify 100-percent wins on this schedule? Finally, the guys discuss the importance of fresh, young legs in the heat at Toyota Stadium this weekend. So that means Dejan Joveljic starts, right? What can you expect from a place that often makes for weird games? Do you remember the win blowing in a goal for Dallas? Do you remember weather delays? Can the Galaxy win?

And while Atlanta United was not exactly playing up to top-tier standards, the Galaxy still showed some glimpses of what they might be able to do down the stretch. Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 2-0 victory and get into some details surrounding the game, both on and off the field. Josh and Kevin start with Greg Vanney's choice of starting lineups. That included a Galaxy debut for Gaston Brugman, and starts for Chase Gasper and Eriq Zavaleta. And while those were question marks at the beginning of the game, they all worked well. What can Brugman bring to the table for the Galaxy? What does a distributing six look like down the road? And are the Galaxy still looking to add one more piece? Plus, how big of a story will Dejan Joveljic be in the next 13 games? Probably one of the biggest. Especially as he continues to score goals every time he's on the field. But how hesitant will Vanney be to start Joveljic? We've got a great show for you, and we're thrilled you joined us!

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?

So as the Galaxy slowly work their way toward their match with the Portland Timbers, we want to get you out of this international break. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to tie up any loose ends and finally put his extended break to bed. The guys will start with some more observations on the Galaxy's win over Austin FC and why Dejan Joveljic is practically screaming at Greg Vanney to let him start. What do the stats say about Joveljic's scoring prowess in recent games? And does that mean more minutes for the Galaxy's chess-minded striker? Josh and Kevin will also dive into some updates on the Galaxy's group of internationals and why Efrain Alvarez's stint with the U-21s isn't a great sign for the club. Plus, did Julian Araujo finally find the field for Mexico? And why three young Galaxy players are fighting for Olympic and U-20 World Cup spots.

But this Sunday's game will first have to see some international players return. And if we're being honest, a couple of them should be getting regular call-ups and playing time, especially for Mexico. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter look at two players who should have a more significant role with El Tri but currently don't. And they look at how that could benefit the Galaxy if it all fell into place. But will Julian Araujo flourish under Tata Martino, or will he continue to ride the bench? And is the pressure getting to him? Have we seen that with both the Galaxy and Mexico? Plus, is Mexico making the same mistake as Jurgen Klinsmann and Sweden? Are they letting their pride keep them from capturing the last competitive breaths of one of their country's greatest goal-scorers? So what does Javier Hernandez need to do with the Galaxy to get Tata's attention? Josh and Kevin will also dive into the Galaxy's demanding schedule, tell you why the Galaxy still don't have a TV deal they've told us about yet, and why there are three or four pretenders above the playoff line in the Western Conference. And the Galaxy might be one of them. We've got a packed show tonight, and we're moving at an unusually quick clip. So buckle up for the return of CoG after a relaxing Thursday off!

Hosts Dan Bardell and Flo Lloyd-Hughes are joined by The Athletic's Jay Harris - fresh from his recent visit to St. George's Park - to discuss how the FA are trying to put an end to the fact that an English manager has never won the Premier League title or The Champions League! You'll hear from some of the latest cohort of ex-senior England professionals embarking on a revolutionary coaching programme with the FA, how Italy and Germany have set the standard as well as how Gareth Southgate fits into the bigger picture. Plus, the trio debate recent comments from the likes of Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard as part of a wider conversation about what modern day players actually need from modern coaches. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And the reason for that hush was Efrain Alvarez. So is this the sign that Alvarez should finally be given the freedom to start? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the LA Galaxy win over Charlotte FC on Saturday night in front of nearly 75,000 people. But there are other topics to cover. They're going to talk some offense, some defense, and whether or not Julian Araujo is a believer in the darkest of arts. Josh and Kevin will start by applauding the effort and the result from the 1-0 win over Charlotte on Saturday. They're going to talk about Alvarez and his wonder-striker and why it's not like we haven't seen this movie before. Does that mean we need to see him starting? Does the injury to Vazquez put Vanney in a position to reward the 19-year-old? And how does Alvarez's game change when he's a starter? Plus, the Galaxy lead the league in shots and key passes, but they've only seen two goals hit the back of the net in 2022. Are you worried that Chicharito, Cabral, and Costa aren't producing? And how much does Cabral shoulder the blame for the poor finishing? But there's a bigger question about Cabral. Are the Galaxy not finding their Young DP? And the defense has been the standout through 180 minutes. What have Julian Araujo, Raheem Edwards, Nick DePuy, and Sega Coulibaly been able to do this season? And why are they the key to success? Finally, Josh raises questions about Eriq Zavaleta, Sergio Ramos, and Julian Araujo. And then he talks about charts. It's a pretty standard Monday. But the Galaxy could be on their way to club history.

And we've got some major LA Galaxy storylines that need to be discussed! On today's show, host Josh Guesman is flying solo while battling a cold and updating you on all the Galaxy news that has happened and everything you need to know that's coming up. Josh will start by getting you through the Galaxy's "City of Dreams" kit and ask, "why are we naming kits?" Do you think the name adds something to the release? And is this more than just a plain white design with some colors? And is there anything wrong with that? And are the Galaxy calling Josh fat? But our host will then dive into the Galaxy's first pre-season loss and try to figure out why Julian Araujo isn't playing starting team minutes? Is Greg Vanney really planning on Araujo coming off the bench for Kelvin Leerdam? Is there a better explanation? Plus, will Derrick Williams's return or Douglas Costa's debut make waves on Saturday against DC United? And are those the main stories behind this last dress rehearsal before the season starts? And finally, Josh believes the Galaxy will be one of the best teams in MLS. And he's basing that off of a broken heart. Whose broken heart? The Galaxy's broken heart. Can the way the Galaxy crashed out of the postseason set them up for a revenge season? Was Real Salt Lake's goal in the final minutes of the season enough to motivate this team to get revenge on the whole league? Was this the shared disappointment that leads to championships? We've got a packed show, we've got some good discussion, and as normal, we have some of the best listeners in the world. What more could you ask for?
