Will some rain help or hurt the Galaxy? And will Chicharito's confidence be broken? Hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles (Kilometer) discuss the Galaxy's mistakes against Sporting KC. But more importantly, they focus on the individual errors that have cost the Galaxy points over the season. The guys will also highlight the standings and upcoming schedule across the league and talk about some games you should be interested in watching after the Galaxy have played (Seattle and Portland). Finally, Josh and Christian will really dig into the Nashville game to tell you why Nashville is a difficult team to play and why they've been red-hot in their last four games.

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!

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? We've got a great show for you today, and we're thrilled you decided to join us!

So will Atlanta United cause as many problems as the San Jose Earthquakes for LA? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's continued fall from grace. They'll talk about the "Stupid Tax" the club has been paying with all of their transfers and why ghost teams probably aren't in place to get another signing across the line. But what do we make of Gaston Brugman? Will he be an answer of sorts that fixes some of the issues the Galaxy have? Plus, who would be your Penalty Kick takers in a winner-take-all shootout? Would you let Chicharito take one of them? What about Jonathan Bond? Josh and Eric also want to talk about points totals and why there might be a low number this year for getting into the playoffs. Will 19 points be enough? What about 21? 24? With just 14 games left (15 if you're Greg Vanney), the Galaxy need a confidence boost. But if they see another loss, will Vanney's seat get warm? What about other changes in the front office. Are jobs on the line? We've got another packed show to prepare you for Atlanta United on Sunday!

Dave brings his own wine to celebrate the playoffs for Atlanta United. Mike admits, the wine is not only drinkable, it's good! Shocked about a year 1 wine, we go into the formation change from Gonzalo Pineda and why we should be playing 4-3-3 headed into the NYFC playoff game. But, we don't think the coach will go that direction. Mike thinks we'll win regardless and advance in the playoffs, Dave thinks it's our final stop. We talk about it all, including the new wonderboy Thiago Almada who will join the team in 2022.

And it's going to be two hours of absolute mayhem. Are you ready for Decision Day on steroids? Are you ready for multiple scenarios that get the Galaxy to the post-season? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the Galaxy's draw with Seattle, the lineup choices Greg Vanney made, and the stuttering development of a Young Designated Player that got it all wrong and could still cost the Galaxy a playoff spot. Josh and Sophie want to get at the heart of the Galaxy's woes over the last five seasons and why a big club like the Galaxy can't fill the seats. Is it only about winning? Or is it something else? Are the Galaxy missing characters? Are they missing stars? Your hosts are also updating you on Dennis te Kloese's contract and why the Galaxy picked up his option. Does that mean that te Kloese is staying for 2022? Not. So. Fast. Josh will introduce the players he thinks will make the end-of-the-year awards for the Galaxy and why one name, in particular, keeps popping up. Could we see history with the Player of the Year and Defender of the Year awards going to the same person? Finally, Josh and Sophie want to get you ready for a "must-win" game that is both a must-win and not a must-win. It isn't very clear, but we're more than prepared to explain what's about to happen. Keep your phones handy during the match. This show is over 90 minutes of Galaxy-talk that you'll need ahead of the simultaneous kick-offs on Sunday. Can the Galaxy beat a Minnesota United team that only needs a draw to get into the playoffs? This is it! The last show of the regular season. Will we be back on Monday to preview the playoffs? Or will we be starting the post-mortem of a 2021 season that went well off the rails? Let's go!

If you're an optimist, the draw might give the Galaxy the one point they need to make the playoffs. But both sets of people would agree, the next two games are challenging. And getting results against Sporting KC and the Seattle Sounders would mean the Galaxy earn the post-season spot! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's pathetic first-half performance against a bottom-dwelling team in the Western Conference, and why Greg Vanney may have gotten it wrong with the players he chose for the starting lineup. And just how important is Julian Araujo to the Galaxy? Newsflash -- very important! Was that a peek at what the Galaxy might be facing once Araujo moves on from Major League Soccer? But Josh and Kevin are keeping their eyes on the Wednesday night matchup with Sporting KC. Kevin thinks the Galaxy are catching KC at the perfect time. And their schedule and the history of games played Children's Mercy Park might lean into that... almost. Josh thinks that getting a point from both KC and Seattle is key to getting into the playoffs. But with the inconsistency of the entire conference, maybe just a win against Minnesota will be enough? Along the way, the guys are talking about an "elite" level performance from Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and why a spurt of goals could make a big ripple for the Galaxy and for the Golden Boot. Josh even has a chart for you to look at or something. Finally, the guys preview the Wednesday night matchup, why the Galaxy will be missing another defender, and why SKC might be down a goalkeeper and their leading scorer. There's a lot to discuss, and we're delighted you could join us!

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and Canadian football chat.It's been a busy week for Vancouver Whitecaps with three games in seven days and seven points taken from them. It's left the team above the playoff line with three games to go. Can they hang on? Can they even secure a home playoff game? And what does all of that mean for interim head coach Vanni Sartini? It's going to be a nervy end to the season.We chat about all of that and more as we look back at the Whitecaps dramatic come from behind win in Portland and the hangover draw in San Jose. What does that do to the team's mentality and how the rest of the West will view them? Was dropping points in San Jose just them running out of juice?

But is all right with the Galaxy now that they've figured out what three points feel like again? And why could this be a tricky week for the club and Greg Vanney! On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter (is Kevin in New York City? Or is he somewhere else using a green screen? We'll never really know the answer!) discuss the Galaxy's win over Portland and why it's not all positives for the club. Plus, the guys want to discuss Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez's performance since returning from injury. Is he quietly having one of the best performances in MLS? And is that good enough for what the Galaxy need him to be doing on the field? And with the defensive issues the Galaxy have had over this season, did you think that this was their best defensive performance? What was different from the entire team on the defensive side of things? Finally, Josh and Kevin will spend a lot of time looking at the Western Conference standings and why the next two games could make or break the Galaxy's playoff chances. With just three spots for five teams, who is most likely to make a late push for a spot? And why is that team the Vancouver Whitecaps? And if you're the Houston Dynamo, are you playing for pride on Wednesday night? Or do you fold up the tent and go home? After all, the Dynamo had their biggest win of the season on Saturday and still got eliminated from the playoffs! We've got a packed show that's getting you ready for a big game on Wednesday night. How many points do the Galaxy get from a Dynamo side that doesn't like to lose games at home?

After a horrible start, they gave a decent account of themselves at times during the match, but defensive lapses loomed large and cost them dearly. We look at all the highs and lows coming out of the match, where that leave's the 'Caps in the MLS West playoff race, and look at the season run-in for all the team in and around them.Moving on to the international stage and CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, we look back at Canada's two draws with Mexico and Jamaica, the chances taken and the missed opportunities, and after a dramatic round of games, where that leaves all the teams five matches in ahead of a big Canada v Panama game on Wednesday evening.And we round things off this episode with a discussion about the new League 1 BC that was officially announced this week. We chat about the details that have been revealed thus far and discuss whether BC is ready for such a league, the importance of getting the excitement in the local communities in growing the game here, what this can mean in the grand scheme of player development, and a lot more.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.41: Intro and football cards11.46: Sounders v Whitecaps postgame analysis29.41: MLS West playoff race - the lie of the land and the road ahead46.00: Canada CONCACAF World Cup qualifying chat82.07: League 1 BC launch discussion104.45: Wavelength - Loyalty - Give Football Back To The Working Class

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and Canadian football chat.The Whitecaps made it one loss in their last 15 matches with a crucial 3-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes at the weekend, moving to within a point of the MLS playoff places thanks to a Brian White hat-trick. We pick over the bones of that one, hear from head coach Vanni Sartini, and see where the win leaves the 'Caps in the playoff picture.We also delve in the Whitecaps attacking and defensive options for the rest of this season and next, and debate whether now is the time for a settled starting line-up when possible or is the tinkering a way to keep things fresh and the opposition on their toes?Turning our attention to the international stage, we look ahead to Canada's three World Cup qualifiers and chat with 'Caps keeper Maxime Crepeau about them.Plus what is Vanni Sartini's favourite jam?

But can you claim that the Galaxy deserved more from that very even affair? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter will get you updated on the Galaxy information you need for the jump start to a hectic week for the team from Los Angeles. That will include hearing from Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez for the first time since June and what Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney thinks of this Houston Dynamo team now that they snapped a very long winless streak. Josh and Kevin will start with the draw against the Colorado Rapids. They'll talk about the play of Chicharito and why the Galaxy left two or three big plays on the table when facing off against the second-best team in the Western Conference. Can you pencil LA into the number four spot in the West? Or could a busy September, and some dropped points, mean the Galaxy will be scrambling toward the end of the season? The guys will transition to an overlooked Galaxy defender, and why you should probably never count out Dan Steres. After all, he got a Team of the Week nod in his return to the starting lineup and helped the Galaxy limit the Rapids to just three shots on goal. But the September schedule should have you nervous. Josh and Kevin will go over the Galaxy's close to this short and compact month and look at all the road games that should have fans more than a little on edge. If the Galaxy are going to come together, now would be a great time to do it. Finally, the guys look at a Houston Dynamo team that is bad. And even though they just won, they're still bad. And that means these are probably the easiest three points of the season. Which also means they will be anything but easy. We've got a packed show for you today, and we're very, very glad you could join us.

Are the Galaxy prepared to start winning right now? And are they ready to get Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez back on the field? Today's show will get you ready for the Galaxy's next game against the Colorado Rapids. And that's going to be a massive test for a team that doesn't know what their best lineup is and is having to go to altitude to try and beat a team they haven't beat since 2017. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's media conference call and tell you about the positivity exuding from Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney. Will Chicharito play in a single striker formation? Will Vanney pair with Dejan Joveljić? And what circumstances might the Galaxy use Chicharito in during the game? The guys will also talk about the Galaxy's odds to make the playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight, and why betting on them to win MLS Cup might be a steal! But there's also talk from Josh and Eric about some international players returning that haven't been vaccinated. Will they be available for Saturday's game? And how could this hurt the team down the road when the next international window opens? We've got a packed show that is jammed with stats and information that will get you ready for the Rocky Mountain clash on Saturday. What was Josh's best advice about the game? Start drinking early! Thanks for joining us on the podcast today! And let's hope the Galaxy can find a way to make the final 12 games of the regular season a happy experience.

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy didn't get to play their game against the Colorado Rapids this weekend, and it's thrown the entire Western Conference into the air. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's problems with trying to reschedule that match and why Major League Soccer might have to blow up the Rapids' season to keep everything else fair! Plus, could the playoffs be decided by a team that hasn't played four or five of their 23 games? And what if the league chooses to implement points-per-game as the way to settle this? Do the Galaxy stand a chance? The guys dive into all the different issues with the Rapids and their coronavirus outbreak and why a big decision isn't coming soon. Plus, with Jonathan dos Santos and Rolf Feltscher away on international duty, and COVID-19 taking hold of some national teams, did MLS and the FIFA take the risk of shutting down some domestic seasons by allowing friendlies and qualifiers to go on? But our big segment on this show is about Josh's stats and why he was wrong about comparing 2017 with 2020. The two seasons, it seems, are very similar when it comes to some of their stats.

Vancouver Whitecaps stayed alive in the playoff race this weekend, coming away from Toronto with what has to be said was an unexpected 2-1 victory and ending TFC's postseason hopes in the process. We look back at that win, hear from Craig Dalrymple, and see how the run-in and playoff scenario is looking now for the Whitecaps and those above them. There's also some Canada national team talk, a discussion on what the Whitecaps identity should be under their new coach, and some general Thanksgiving fun.
