COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/9g8FcfU COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The 2020 season if over for the LA Galaxy. And the 3-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps put the perfect "bow" on a horrific season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter breakdown what happened after the game and why Galaxy players may have tipped their hands on what it was like to play under Guillermo Barros Schelotto. Can the guys connect some dots and add some insight into who was being held accountable and who wasn't? And should Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez be trusted with any say in the club's next coaching choice? This episode will dive into the Galaxy's thoughts on Dominic Kinnear, why he might be the perfect answer for the wayward club, and how David Bingham thinks the Galaxy made themselves good last time. Does it all come down to keeping things simple to make players good? And what seems like a reasonable timeline for the Galaxy to pick their next head coach? Finally, the guys give you some stats on Designated Players, on win percentage, and on a whole bunch of other things that you don't want to hear -- but you need to! We've got over 70 mins of Galaxy-talk heading your way, and we're glad you could join us through the entire 2020 season. We're not going anywhere, but we'd still like to say thank you!

LA Galaxy v Whitecaps; Mark Pannes and Jake Nerwinski interviews; MLS Week In Review; Coronavirus impact on football

The 2020 MLS season didn't get underway anyone at Vancouver Whitecaps would have hoped for. A disappointing 3-1 home loss to Sporting Kansas City saw a poor performance and a lot of the spark and optimism from the preseason disappeared quicker than snow aff a dyke for many in the fanbase. Can they bounce back this week in LA against an offensively stacked Galaxy side? Joe, Peter, and Nick return for AFTN's latest preview podcast to chat about just that as they look ahead to the LA game, ponder the lessons learned from last week's loss, and try and work out just what team the 'Caps could put out there that would negate what, on paper at least, should be one of the most deadly attacks in MLS. We also empty the mailbag, as the guys will look for as many answers as they can. Have a listen!

The 2020 MLS season certainly didn't start the way Vancouver Whitecaps wanted. A 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City, an insipid performance, and a lot of work still to be done. If you're thinking wait a minute, this isn't 2019, let's hope you're right. We pick over the bones of that opening day loss and try and see what few positives you can take from it. Plus we hear from both head coaches, Vancouver's Marc Dos Santos and KC's Peter Vermes. We also bring you three interviews this episode. We hear from Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes on the subject of ticket sales and chat about some of the off-pitch changes this season.

Our MLS Week in Review also looks at the MLS teams in CCL action this past week and catch up with Sporting Kansas City's Scottish forward Johnny Russell to look ahead to the season and find out what his favourite jam is. All this plus Canadian Premier League chat, as we look at the new home kits that were revealed and transfer talk, Football Violence Awareness Month returns in Wavelength, and Scottish band Peat & Diesel continue their residency as March's artists of the month.

Two more sleeps till Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer return for the 2020 season. Excited yet? Joe, Gideon, and Peter are and the lads are back for the first preview show of the decade! How are the Whitecaps looking heading into the new campaign? Are they playoff contenders or is it going to be another long season? The guys delve into the offseason rebuild and the tactical style Marc Dos Santos wants his team to play. Can they deliver it this season? Last year, the 'Caps and Sporting KC were the two worst teams in the west in the standings. Both have added some key pieces, but which one will get the new season off to a flying start and what kind of threat are Kansas City bringing to BC Place on Saturday night? So many questions, including a lively mailbag, and the guys will look for as many answers as they can. Have a listen!

This week's episode of the AFTN Soccer Show falls in the CiTR Radio 'Fundrive' period, as the radio station tries to raise some money for equipment and other ventures. As such there a little bit of a different vibe, but there's also a lot of football chat as well. The big MLS news this past week was that a new CBA has been agreed with the players and there won't be a strike. We delve into some of the big talking points coming out of it including charters, free agency, DPs, revenue, and lots more.

We've got something a little bit different for you in the latest AFTN Soccer Show. For one thing, it's short! But it's also not a news-laden episode, instead we're bringing you a goalkeeper's special. The goalkeeper is the loneliest position on the pitch. It's a team game, yet you're your own man in many ways. A potential hero and villain, sometimes in the same match. What makes you want to be one? Do you have to have a special mentality to deal with the huge ups and downs? And is it true that all goalkeepers are a bit crazy? We chat with Vancouver Whitecaps' Max Crepeau and Thomas Hasal to ask just that and a lot more. It's a glove story. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:02.06: Max Crepeau interview and discussion22.37: Wavelength - Michael Marra - Hamish (The Goalie)28.23: Thomas Hasal interview and discussion

And they have some new players too to talk about this week, so we do just that, plus we cast our eyes over some of the trialists in the camp and what they offer the team.

We chat about moving away from Canada at 16 to learn his trade in Uruguay and Mexico, coming back home after a decade away, and what he hopes to bring to the Whitecaps and to MLS this season.

2019. What a year. If you were a Vancouver Whitecaps fan it started with some hope and ended with some hope, but the bits inbetween were certainly bleak at times. But elsewhere in Canadian soccer it was a year of excitement as the Canadian Premier League launched and the national team made some history before ultimately just falling short of taking a giant leap forward. We'll look back at the year over the next two podcasts. All the highs, all the lows, all the forgettable moments, and the stuff that will last a long time in everyone's memories.
