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!

A lot, actually. And we want to share it with you. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira talk about all the pertinent points the Galaxy accomplished against the Dynamo and why it makes Wednesday's game one of the most important of the year. In actuality, it all comes down to allowing Greg Vanney to start thinking about the FC Dallas game before the Houston game was even over. And that's something the Galaxy have failed to accomplish this entire season. And with six points out of nine so far in the week, the Dallas game takes on an importance that might not have been there if the Galaxy don't win midweek. The guys will talk about the significant contributions from the alternate lineup guys like Sacha Kljestan, Efrain Alvarez, and Kevin Cabral. And they'll also focus on Jonathan Bond's clean sheet and Julian Araujo's continued aggressiveness. Even Sebastian Lletget and Jonathan dos Santos get some kind words lobbed in their direction. But the defensive pairing of Nick DePuy and Derrick Williams also deserves some focus. Josh and Eric will also discuss the latest salary numbers and who has spent the most money at each team segment throughout the league. Plus, they'll talk about the dollar cost per point and why it's okay to be spending a lot if you're getting a lot. Finally, the guys will look ahead to a match with FC Dallas that could have the visitors Pepi-less. What's the key to unlocking the Dallas defense? And why should the Galaxy's game plan be to score first... again? We've got a great show for you today, and we're glad we can get you ready for a Saturday night matchup! We'll see you at the game!

Lots of good results to recap on the Side x Side podcast this week, including Wednesday night's 1-0 road win vs FC Dallas and of course last Sunday's 6-2 demolition of the Portland Timbers. This week's guest is none other than former NFL kicker Steven Hauschka, who discusses the differences between kicking a soccer ball and a football, what post-career life has been like for him, and whether he'd time travel or meet aliens if he had the chance. The important stuff, as always. Thanks for tunin...

Is a single point out of a possible nine a sign that things aren't going well for the club? Or was this just a little bump in the road? FC Dallas took it to the Galaxy on Saturday night, but the scoreline doesn't necessarily tell the story. And can we stop with the "excuses" excuse? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's problems heading into a critical home stretch against the Portland Timbers and why a statement win is vital to the team's success throughout August. Also, Kevin will check in from his Tokyo hotel room and then have to leave early to cover the USWNT game at the Olympics. The guys will talk about Kevin Cabral's struggle and whether or not it's time to bench the young player. And you'll hear from Greg Vanney about what he's seen from Cabral. Do you disagree with the coach's approach? Should Cabral be put on notice? And there was a significant return to the field on Saturday night. We'll talk about Danilo Acosta's Galaxy debut and tell you why he could be the key to making Jorge Villafaña even better than he's already been. Finally, Josh will update you on the Galaxy's chase of Dejan Joveljić and why things seem to be heading toward a signing for a second striker. What could the young man bring to the Galaxy? And how might the club use him? We've got a packed show that we can't wait to share with you. And while you're here, make sure to get your tickets for Saturday's LIVE EVENT! We've got some great special guests lined up, including Cozmo!

You absolutely can! And we want to explain! On today's show, host Josh Guesman is flying solo for a bit of refresher on how the Galaxy could take down Dallas without too much issue. But there's something essential to point out. Josh wants to talk about the effort and not "playing down" to an opponent. Plus, Josh discusses the Galaxy's form and their success through the first 12 games of the season. This team might surprise you when we start comparing what they're accomplishing on the field. In fact, it might make you take a second look at them. Do the Galaxy deserve to be in the company they're currently around? Then we'll discuss the Galaxy's signing of Julian Araujo to a U-22 deal and why you should consider it a bit of a coup. With teams around the world jostling for the youngster, what does a 4.5-year contract really mean? And why does the loss of the Galaxy Academy Director put the Galaxy in a tough bind? Finally, stick around for information on our live show on July 31st. We're getting excited, and hopefully, that means we'll be seeing you there!

If that team is Sporting KC, getting it almost right isn't good enough for any points. But the LA Galaxy are taking steps forward. They just have to develop into a better team. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 2-0 loss to Sporting KC at Dignity Health Sports Park on the Fourth of July. How did the team feel about the loss? And do our hosts feel the same way? Josh and Kevin will discuss the injuries to Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and why Galaxy fans should be holding their breath over the calf injury, and they'll talk about the Galaxy's dwindling supply of center backs. Could Daniel Steres make a return for Wednesday night's game against FC Dallas? Or will Rayan Raveloson be forced back into a defensive stance? The guys will also discuss Raveloson's stellar debut and why it should open up options for the Galaxy once they get some healthy bodies back into center-back. Plus, Victor Vazquez continues to be worth his weight in gold, even if the Galaxy couldn't finish off several chances. But are you growing weary of Kevin Cabral? Do you think the Galaxy need to bench the Young Designated Player? Or is this all part of his learning curve? And before the guys get you updated on the game against FC Dallas, do you want to hear some breaking news? We've got a packed show for you on this Monday (holiday) night. And we're glad you decided to join us!

Tutul (@tutulismyname) walks us through the mechanics of why it’s difficult for an MLS team to pick up a USL prospect like Jose Gallegos or Jonathan Gomez. He also talked about why FC Dallas has gone from “play your kids” to “play your 32-year-old Liga MX veterans” in the span of 12 months, and how MLS front office desire for parity gets in the way of talent development.

This episode was taped on May 26th before protests for the murder of George Floyd, so we won't be addressing much of what's been going on the last few days.

Last week's loss to Seattle hit Vancouver Whitecaps' playoff hopes hard, but they're still hovering around the playoff line, albeit underneath it, as second placed FC Dallas come to town on Sunday. Joe, Nick, and Gideon look ahead to the match in this week's preview podcast. Can they bounce back from last week's loss? Are they meeting Dallas at the right time after their own mini dip in form? And is there really hope of the playoffs or are we simply grasping at a fantasy? There's a lot on the line, as there will be every week now going forward if the 'Caps can grind out results, and we bring you a new twist on the "Do You Know Who I Am?" game and it's a fun one.
