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 the three goals the Galaxy scored could have been more, but the dominance would have continued regardless of how little Houston tried to fight back. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 3-1 win over Houston and talk about how much has changed for the club in a very short amount of time. And most of that change can be attributed to two players - Riqui Puig and Gaston Brugman. Josh and Kevin will highlight the critical points in the Galaxy's win over Houston, talk about the incredible season Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez had throughout 34 games, and discuss the difference Puig and Brugman have made in a short time. And while the show has been saying it for the last three weeks, something has changed around the league. Your LA Galaxy might even be considered favorites to hoist a cup in 2022. And they know the path that will take them there. The guys will talk about some 34-game totals that are interesting while also explaining why we know the Galaxy's next two playoff games. Should LA clear Nashville - a tough ask on any day - they'd face off against LAFC at Banc of California Stadium. It's like it's a movie script or something. We've got a great show that covers some of the questions facing the front office and why making some offseason moves might come down to whether you can make players happy or not. Finally, there are some small lookaheads to Nashville and what that game could look like almost a week out. Thanks for joining us on this Playoff Edition. We're glad you're along for the ride.
