But Chicharito is scoring goals, and the Galaxy did things they wouldn't have done in 2021. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the win over the Timbers, talk about some pregame activities that didn't make the broadcast, and start to get you ready for the first El Trafico of 2022. The guys will start with their recap of the Galaxy's win in Portland and how Efrain Alvarez stepped up to create enough offense while Sam Grandsir, Kevin Cabral, and Chicharito all made the Timbers pay for some lax defense and bad fouls. Plus, Josh will tell you why not knowing what a foul was in this game led to the Galaxy getting a red card, Portland getting a red card, and the second half being the least predictable match in MLS over the weekend. And the players, coaches, and other officials all knew it! Josh and Kevin will then break down some of the charts that explain where the Galaxy are through five games and why we're cautiously watching what Chicharito is doing in 2022. And that drumbeat gets louder for Mexico's all-time goal scorer to join up with them for Qatar 2022. Will Tata finally relent? Finally, the guys talk about the addition of Preston Judd to the first team roster and why Greg Vanney is making that move now. Are you ready for the Galaxy to take on LAFC? We'll tell you about the white-out in the stadium for Saturday and other team news you need to know. Join us for 60-plus minutes of Galaxy-talk on a Monday night. You won't be disappointed.

We're 5 games in, what's the status? How's that independent investigation going and what about those protests? PDX FC is back, so get involved with Black Hearts Union. There's a thing called the World Cup and the USMNT sorta qualified.

Well, if you listen to this podcast regularly, there's a good chance that you were at the Stadium four years ago watching the craziest game in MLS history unfold. And in less than 20 minutes of total time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced himself to the United States, Los Angeles, the LA Galaxy, and the world. Zlatan was back. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Miracle on March 31st, discuss Zlatan's impact on the world that day, and ultimately how that 2018 team didn't make the playoffs. But it's not about living in the past. It's all about acknowledging the biggest goal in MLS history and what the Stadium felt like on that day. Josh and Eric will then dive into Greg Vanney's media call today. They'll get you updated on the health status of Douglas Costa and why his injury certainly shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Also, they'll listen to Vanney talk about the two-forward system and why Dejan Joveljic needs time to find a balance with Chicharito. But do you believe that Vanney is telling the truth about how the Galaxy would need to cede possession if Chicharito and Joveljic played together? Or is there more to this? Finally, the guys get you ready for a difficult start to April and why winning in Portland would go a long way to stabilizing the Galaxy ahead of some challenging games. Will Portland invite the Galaxy to have possession? Will this be a repeat of the Galaxy's losses to Seattle and Orlando? What needs to change to make the Galaxy as dangerous of a team as some statisticians say? We'll talk about it all in 80-minutes of Galaxy-talk! Thanks for joining us!

But this Sunday's game will first have to see some international players return. And if we're being honest, a couple of them should be getting regular call-ups and playing time, especially for Mexico. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter look at two players who should have a more significant role with El Tri but currently don't. And they look at how that could benefit the Galaxy if it all fell into place. But will Julian Araujo flourish under Tata Martino, or will he continue to ride the bench? And is the pressure getting to him? Have we seen that with both the Galaxy and Mexico? Plus, is Mexico making the same mistake as Jurgen Klinsmann and Sweden? Are they letting their pride keep them from capturing the last competitive breaths of one of their country's greatest goal-scorers? So what does Javier Hernandez need to do with the Galaxy to get Tata's attention? Josh and Kevin will also dive into the Galaxy's demanding schedule, tell you why the Galaxy still don't have a TV deal they've told us about yet, and why there are three or four pretenders above the playoff line in the Western Conference. And the Galaxy might be one of them. We've got a packed show tonight, and we're moving at an unusually quick clip. So buckle up for the return of CoG after a relaxing Thursday off!

On the brink of his return from an ACL injury last August that sidelined him for all of World Cup qualifying, Portland Timbers midfielder Eryk Williamson joins the pod to talk about cold showers in the Azores and his breakout 2020 season, what he's learned from Diego Chara, why he was left off the Olympic qualifying roster and how he overcame that setback to win a trophy against Mexico in the Gold Cup.

Hey, did you hear the Timbers officially transferred Diego Valeri to Lanus? Well this episode is not about that.

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?

But the Saturday night match is a big test for a team that hasn't won a big game this year. Could it be a make-or-break game for a Galaxy side looking for any momentum it can turn into points with just six games remaining? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to get you ready for this weekend's big game while also trying to put into perspective the rest of the season. And all of that will happen while the Dodgers battle the Giants in an NLDS deciding game -- the guys even stall at the end to make sure we can wrap it up. They didn't want to leave any loose threads. The guys will start by talking about the likelihood that Dennis te Kloese will be leaving at the end of the season and why that puts a lot of focus on the remaining front office staff. Can Greg Vanney carry the momentum of the club through to the 2022 season? And why are we even talking about 2022 when the Galaxy still have games to play in 2021? The guys will wrap the international call-ups and tell you why some red flags surround Sebastian Lletget and Jonathan dos Santos country appearances. Plus, Josh and Eric will tell you who will be available for selection on Saturday -- that includes injury updates as well. Then there's some Hall of Fame talk around Robbie Keane and a brief look at Julian Araujo and Efrain Alvarez's inclusion in the "22 Under 22" list that MLS hypes every season. Do Josh and Eric agree with the rankings? Where would they put the Galaxy's two young standouts? Finally, there's an in-depth look at the game this weekend with quotes from Greg Vanney about how the Galaxy can succeed against a red-hot Portland side that is coming into LA with all their confidence. It's a Saturday night game that doesn't get much bigger. Can the Galaxy find a way to break their winless streak? As always, thanks for listening to us! We're glad we could get you ready for the Galaxy's last six games of the regular season.

Joining Josh, Eric, and Larry, and in front of our outdoor audience are LA Galaxy General Manager Dennis te Kloese and Galaxy Goalkeeping Coach/Legend Kevin Hartman.

They're going to be wearing their Tech Green kits while the Portland Timbers come into Dignity Health Sports Park with a mission of wrecking the Galaxy's rebound. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy news you need to know before you get into the stadium on Friday night! The guys will start with the news that dos Santos Brothers lost their father on Thursday. The famous Zizinho passed away, leaving the very close family without their patriarch. And on the day his Dad passed away, Jonathan dos Santos started for the Mexican National Team to win over Canada (the game ended 30 seconds after our show). Josh and Eric will also update you on Sebastian Lletget's performance with the USMNT and why the Galaxy are hoping to capture some of the gamesmanship Lletget highlights while on international duty. Could Rayan Raveloson free up Lletget to be a more dynamic playmaker? The guys will then talk about season ticker renewals and why the Galaxy will always increase prices even if they haven't hosted a playoff game since 2016. Then there's another good update on the Dejan Jovelić transfer and why you should probably expect it to get done. And do the rumors of Pipo Gonzalez going to Alajualense make sense? Yes, they do! Finally, the guys are getting you ready for a challenging game against the Portland Timbers. Can the Galaxy get back on track without Chicharito? Does Sega Coulibaly find the field in this game? And who scores the goals for the club if it's not going to be Charito -- it feels like we've been asking that question a lot. We've got a packed show that is waiting for your input, your listening, and your reaction! Plus, will we see you on Saturday night at Taps? Come have an adult beverage with us!

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!

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Derrick Williams red card that has everyone out for a significant punishment and tell you why we're not ready just to believe what the Galaxy are telling us about his health status. Is it a conspiracy? No! But it is a question of why everything looked so weird. Josh and Kevin will start by taking a look at what the Galaxy were trying to do in the game against the Timbers and what didn't work at all. Was Efrain Alvarez the key to unlocking the Portland defense? And did that mean that Portland did an excellent job of bracketing him? Or was he trying to occupy some busy real estate that pulled Chicharito out of position? The guys will discuss Samuel Grandsir's backward and awkward step that saw him leave the game early and without too much impact. Plus, the guys will once again praise Jonathan Bond and Julian Araujo for another solid performance. But the big discussion will be around the Williams red card and what Josh and Kevin think the video actually shows. Is Williams a dirty player? Was the tackle dirty? Or was it a freak coming together of two guys and more of a soccer play than people want to realize? And why does it feel like the Galaxy are fighting the ghosts of Nigel de Jong with this? Kevin will tell you why you can expect Jonathan dos Santos to be playing this weekend when initially we thought he wasn't playing and why Sebastian Lletget has four International games in the next three weeks? What will the Galaxy have to do to get a starting lineup against the Earthquakes? How many starters do they have to replace? We've got a busy show with a lot to talk about. And we're glad you could join us for some CoG: From the Box!

And is this the game they get it all right and steal some points on the road? We've got a packed show for you today, so you can excuse us for going around 90-minutes. There is tons of Galaxy news, and it's stuff you need to know before this weekend's game. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira talk about all things Galaxy, including why two former players ended up in the Premier League Hall of Fame, looking back on Mike Magee as a goalkeeper and Landon Donovan as the Galaxy's best goalscorer. The guys will also discuss the signing of Rayan Raveloson and why that has the Galaxy shuffling some roster pieces, and what that means for Giancarlo Gonzalez going forward. Plus, are the Galaxy still hunting for more players? We provide some clarification on the Galaxy's "Mystery Man." Plus, how are the Galaxy preparing for international absences, and what tournament have Greg Vanney and his staff been preparing for since the start of the season? And when we have time, Josh will tell stories for money and why he once had Twitter beef with a well-known broadcaster! But the main focus of this episode is getting you through Kevin Cabral's first media availability and learning what Greg Vanney wants to see from the team against Portland. Can Josh keep his prediction streak rolling? Or will Eric crush it with his prediction? We've got a packed show for you, and we can't wait to tell you all of our secrets!

COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- Guillermo Barros Schelotto has been fired by the LA Galaxy. It was probably a necessary step for a team that has struggled with any positive momentum throughout the Covid-affected year. So with Dominic Kinnear in charge of the Galaxy for the time being -- his second stint as interim head coach -- how did we get to this point once again? On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira dive into the timeline of events that led to Schelotto's sacking on Thursday afternoon. The guys start with some weird injury announcement from Chicharito. Was his Instagram post out of line? And how many conspiracy theories can the guys come up with when it comes to the $15-million man? Then it's off to discuss the Galaxy's abysmal loss to the Portland Timbers. Did Dennis te Kloese know that he was going to have to fire Schelotto after the game? And what did he say at halftime that gave us some clues on which way he was leaning? Then the guys dig into the announcement of Schelotto's firing and what te Kloese had to say during his afternoon press conference. In fact, we'll give you pretty full coverage of the press conference during the show to get you caught up on everything that was said during the entire event. Finally, the guys will go over all the rule changes MLS put in place to get the 2020 season done and dusted and why the Galaxy might have a slightly better chance at getting into the playoffs with the points per game governing their outcome. There's even a little game preview of the Real Salt Lake game coming up this weekend. In total, we've got over 90-minutes of important Galaxy-talk. Don't miss it! And thanks for joining us tonight!

This week, Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani are joined by current ESPN analyst Herculez Gomez to discuss the state of the Sounders.
