- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy came out flat against Real Salt Lake on Saturday afternoon. The lack of creativity in this lineup is starting to show itself. And while Kevin Cabral had been firmly in the crosshairs before this game, he cemented his position and started to drag Douglas Costa and Efrain Alvarez with him. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's lack of creativity and why they think this club will need something different. Either that's getting Victor Vazquez back and healthy or by going out and grabbing a CAM in the summer transfer window. But like so much of this early season, this show will revolve around Cabral's inability to make an impact on the game and why Dejan Joveljic is the hot hand that needs more playing time. Will Vanney's defensive balance be thrown away by the club in favor of more scoring? Or does it make more sense to get Joveljic minutes in place of the biggest goal-scoring threat for the Galaxy? What do you make of two Designated Players that are injury prone and two Designated Players that have shown relatively little in the way of production in the goals or assists category? We've got an entire show of discussions on formations, chances created, and expected goals — all hoping to get the best players on the field for LA. Thanks for joining us!

PODCAST: Who are the Galaxy afraid of? It shouldn't be Real Salt Lake. - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- Have your views on the LA Galaxy shifted? Is there any team that the Galaxy should be afraid of? And looking at the schedule, do you see anyone who should cause the Galaxy problems? Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are back to discuss the Galaxy's psychological change and why you should be feeling confident heading into their match with Real Salt Lake this weekend. They guys will start by continuing the Dejan Joveljic conversation. They'll play audio from Greg Vanney that gives his side of the Joveljic debate, and they'll talk about Kevin Cabral's benching and why it should probably continue. Plus, there's more tactical talk regarding the slight shift in formation that Vanney made against Nashville. Josh and Eric will also discuss the Galaxy's Open Cup game and why it should be a fantastic time in a small stadium. So maybe try to be on your best behavior? It's not every day in the United States we get these kinds of experiences. And the guys will also talk about a nearly $30 bowl of chicken and waffle fries that has Twitter a-stir. Is the food too expensive at the stadium? Are you simply a captive audience. Are you being milked by the Galaxy? Finally, Josh and Eric will get you ready for the Galaxy's match against Real Salt Lake. They're a team that is hard to figure out. Will the Galaxy be playing against the team that lost 6-0 to New York City? Or against the team that lost to a lower level in the Open Cup? Or the team that just drew Portland and has beaten Nashville? We've got a great show for you. And as always, we're so thankful you decided to join us!

And we've got some major LA Galaxy storylines that need to be discussed! On today's show, host Josh Guesman is flying solo while battling a cold and updating you on all the Galaxy news that has happened and everything you need to know that's coming up. Josh will start by getting you through the Galaxy's "City of Dreams" kit and ask, "why are we naming kits?" Do you think the name adds something to the release? And is this more than just a plain white design with some colors? And is there anything wrong with that? And are the Galaxy calling Josh fat? But our host will then dive into the Galaxy's first pre-season loss and try to figure out why Julian Araujo isn't playing starting team minutes? Is Greg Vanney really planning on Araujo coming off the bench for Kelvin Leerdam? Is there a better explanation? Plus, will Derrick Williams's return or Douglas Costa's debut make waves on Saturday against DC United? And are those the main stories behind this last dress rehearsal before the season starts? And finally, Josh believes the Galaxy will be one of the best teams in MLS. And he's basing that off of a broken heart. Whose broken heart? The Galaxy's broken heart. Can the way the Galaxy crashed out of the postseason set them up for a revenge season? Was Real Salt Lake's goal in the final minutes of the season enough to motivate this team to get revenge on the whole league? Was this the shared disappointment that leads to championships? We've got a packed show, we've got some good discussion, and as normal, we have some of the best listeners in the world. What more could you ask for?

That's where the LA Galaxy's winless streak now stands, and they've got some tough prospects coming up midweek and this weekend. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's latest debacle and why Greg Vanney might be correct, but he still can't divorce himself from the results of the loss at Austin FC. The Guys will start with some numbers talk as they look at the Galaxy's play against Austin. Why did Vanney and Jonathan dos Santos both talk about execution after the game? And did the 2-0 loss come down to missed chances? What about the defense? Will they need to be perfect down the stretch for LA? And are the Galaxy even a playoff team anymore? Josh and Kevin will also discuss the chances that Dennis te Kloese gets all the blame if the season goes sideways and why one win really could mean the difference for a Galaxy team that is mentally fragile at this point. Expert analysis boiled down to "score first" and "be a better team." It may sound pedestrian, but the guys will make it sound way more exciting than that. But the base idea is still the same. So for the Galaxy, it definitely comes down to either executing when it counts or being executed before the season is over. How do the Galaxy make you feel right now? Can you take a positive mindset into Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake? Let's go. Let's get this show going so that we can all find out what happens after the ball is kicked on Wednesday night!

And really, they have no one to blame but themselves. But a trip to take on Austin FC might be enough to get the club back on track. So why might the Galaxy look to allow Austin to control the game on Sunday night? And just how important is the first goal of this game? Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou join you for over 75 minutes of Galaxy-talk that will get you ready for the game this Sunday and many of the upcoming events at Dignity Health Sports Park and the unveiling of the Landon Donvan statue. Josh and Sophie will talk you through FIFA 2022 rankings. Sophie will tell you just what type of hardcore gamer she is, and then they'll both tell you why they've never snuck into a party they weren't invited to. Plus, there will be some talk about David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and of course, Elizabeth Taylor. Your hosts will also give you the schedule for Donovan's statue unveiling and tell you why you can go to a LA Galaxy II game on October 2nd! Something that hasn't happened all year. Finally, there's some look at the upcoming schedule, a look at the balance of the last eight games of the season, and eventually, that will lead to a robust discussion about which way the Galaxy play the best. The game at Q2 Stadium is a big deal. And the Galaxy need to get all three points to help stabilize their slide. After all, both Portland and Real Salt Lake are right on their heels. We've got a packed show for you, so don't miss it. As always, thanks for playing along with us, and we'll catch you next time!
