Playoff Push

Ahead of the UEFA qualifying playoffs, Rog sits down with Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson to discuss his team’s remarkable journey to and the belief growing within the squad. Hallgrímsson reflects on taking over an Ireland side in transition, why he saw parallels with his historic Iceland team, and how he’s built a harder, more resilient identity. He also breaks down striker Troy Parrott’s incredible goal-scoring run, including his dramatic winner in Hungary, and what it takes to deliver in the biggest moments. Plus, Hallgrímsson previews Ireland’s decisive playoff clash against Czech Republic and explains why this squad is learning to embrace the pressure of the occasion. Presented by Christopher Ward.

BUY NOW! http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy get a chance to take a big step toward the playoffs on Friday night. 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.

With long lines to get into the stadium in both the parking lot and entrance gates, the LA Galaxy were already burning goodwill. But to come out flat against a Dallas side that was intent on destroying you and having no reaction? That's not how playoff teams are made. And it's not how Champions react. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to break down the loss to Dallas. And even when the defense gives up three goals, the main focus will be on the offense. Because the Galaxy have proven to be a good defensive team, but they haven't proven to be a good offensive team. Josh and Kevin will talk about Boxing's big day at Dignity Health Sports Park and why the stadium over-extended itself. And why, if you were one of the people scrambling to get inside the stadium, you would have done better staying outside? And if Chicharito is slumping and bringing on Dejan Joveljic doesn't change anything, then you need to look at how you put them in the best positions. So who is going to make the angling balls, and who is going to make the run dictate the pass? The games are coming fast and furious now. The Galaxy will play Minnesota United midweek, Houston over the weekend, LAFC next week in the Open Cup, and then close out the month with Austin. So how does Vanney manage that stretch of games? And do the Galaxy have a problem winning the big games -- winning those that will move them up the standings? We've got a great show for you today. And you're going to want to catch every single word!

How did the LA Galaxy earn their point against LAFC? And what does that mean for a team that is pressing toward the playoffs? Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter walk you through the Galaxy's trip to take on LAFC and discuss who stood out and who didn't have a good game. Would you want to change the lineup to get a better A+ set of players? And can you do that without Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez being on the field? The guys will even talk TV production and some big numbers as far as ratings go. Is El Tráfico the biggest MLS tv property? And does that give the league license to do stupid things? Josh and Kevin will also discuss the Galaxy's upcoming schedule and why some teams won't be taking an international break. That includes the Colorado Rapids, and it's a game Galaxy fans should watch! Finally, the guys will discuss some Galaxy charts and graphs and get into a possible formation change for the club. Would you move into a three-man backline to shore up the defense? Would you move into a five-man backline when you go on the road? Should defense be first? We've got another fun show for you as the Galaxy survive their international break with six or seven players headed to their national teams. Thanks for joining us!

And now they have to throw a ton of effort into a Cali-Clasico that could mean ending a surge of somewhat positive results from the San Jose Earthquakes. Will the Galaxy start to put some things together with just 14 games left in the season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicalou discuss all the Galaxy news and info you need to head into a Friday night match that has a national TV audience, and that kicks off a rivalry weekend. Josh and Sophie will start with the loss to Colorado and what they saw from a frenetic Galaxy side that couldn't find the finishing touches despite several good stints of play. But there was also a horrible start to the game and some questions surrounding Jonathan Bond's performance. Did Greg Vanney cause some problems between Bond and Jonathan Klinsmann? Or is there more to the "nervous moments" from Bond during his two most recent games? Plus, how do you feel about Jonathan dos Santos' play over the last couple of games? Is he making a push for the Galaxy to keep him as a Designated Player? Or is his time with the club coming to a quick end? And what about injury updates for Friday night's game? Finally, we're discussing the Galaxy's match with the San Jose Earthquakes. Can the original rivalry still get the blood pumping? Can you still call it a rivalry? Are the Galaxy ready to make a sprint to the playoffs? Or is there still some worry that it could all come crashing down? And does Chicharito put this team into another level? Does his inclusion mean cup thoughts? We've got a great show that will get you ready for another rapid-fire game! See you at the stadium!
