Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola dive into Mauricio Pochettino and Jesús Pérez's recent interview on the High Performance Podcast, where the coaching duo talked about targeting a World Cup win, the USMNT lacking basics, and the challenges of managing a player pool spread out across multiple leagues. Alex Zendejas looks like a March lock after a match-winning return for Club América, but does Gio Reyna belong in the same conversation with so few minutes under his belt at Gladbach? The guys debate midfield fits, form vs. talent, and how Poch should handle the situation. Plus: James Rodríguez is officially a Minnesota United player. Is the risk worth it for the Loons?

James Rodríguez to Minnesota United sounds like a FIFA career mode glitch, but it might actually be happening — and we break down whether the most random transfer imaginable could work for both MLS and James himself. Plus, we take a hard look at once-bright USMNT stars whose momentum has stalled, before diving into the latest chaos from around the soccer world, including Real Madrid controversy, awkward press conferences, and some truly bizarre Cristiano Ronaldo headlines.

Another good-to-great guest joins the show as Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Charlie Davies welcome in USMNT and Derby County to break down his red-hot form in the Championship, the Rams' playoff push, and his decision to move to England (02:48). Patrick reflects on being a "late bloomer", why he doesn't compare himself to other American strikers, and what the Gold Cup taught him about himself at the international level. The guys then react to reports linking James Rodríguez with Minnesota United (32:56). Does the Colombian superstar have any idea what Midwest winters are like, and would this be a true needle-mover for the Loons and MLS? San Diego FC make an immediate statement in 2026 with a 4-1 win over Pumas in the Concacaf Champions Cup (41:16). If the writing wasn’t already on the wall for Hirving Lozano, it might be now... Plus, a busy midweek recap for Americans Abroad, as Pellegrino Matarazzo remains undefeated at Real Sociedad (48:29), whichTony says is the biggest story in American soccer right now.

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!

Lots of games to recap and preview in the newest episode of Side x Side With Zak and Brad.

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!

But why should the Galaxy be hyper-focused on Colorado on Tuesday night? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 1-0 win over Minnesota and why Greg Vanney deserves a gold star for being willing to give away a road game while still getting three points. Rotation is an essential part of the Galaxy's strategy through the rest of this congested schedule. So a win on the road with a rotated lineup should make fans very excited for what is coming. And while Klinsmann was the big takeaway from the game -- and is undoubtedly making some fans think that the number two keeper might get the start again -- there are plenty of solid performances in that road win that need to be discussed. Kevin Cabra, Dejan Joveljić, Niko Hamalainen, and plenty of others deserve some acknowledgment over a hard-fought game that lets the Galaxy really attack their Tuesday night match with the Rapids. Plus, Josh and Kevin will update you on all the injuries the Galaxy are suffering and why getting Sebastian Lletget back after a tragic family loss is another big deal for the Galaxy's growth as a team. Finally, the guys are getting you ready for Colorado on Tuesday and discussing why the Galaxy and the Rapids are very similar. And that makes some sense when you compare the two coaches that were once teammates on the Galaxy. We've got a packed show with plenty of updates as you get ready for a weird Tuesday night game against the Rapids.
