World Cup News

Our staff has had about a month to process the glory and agony of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. What started with a big dream ended with a U13 club soccer-esque daytime drama. Here’s our collective take on the USMNT’s good, bad and ugly. If you don’t speak Spanish, you have three years to learn…

And not in a good way. 3:00am: Awakened “Ridiculous! Disgraceful!” A heavily accented voice shouts into his phone. “I’ve never felt so cheated in my life. I’ve already emailed FIFA. I’ve told them. I’ve let them know this is unacceptable. I want a full refund! $200 a night…for this?” Welcome to FIFA’s Quetaifan Island Fan Village. The voice…

Greg Garza, retired Atlanta United Left Back Joins The Fire! We talk about the World Cup in Qatar and how USMNT and Mexico performed. Greg shares his thoughts on Tata Martino's coaching had elements of a lunatic approach to pressure the other teams. We talks about it all!

Howler is happy to have Matthew Shaddock as its Foreign Correspondent for the duration of the tournament. Today’s dispatch, complete with photography, represents the first of several messages he’ll share from Qatar—where the atmosphere isn’t quite like World Cups past. It might look right on TV, but it doesn’t feel right in the streets. Qatari…

It’s Jimbo, Maram AlBaharna and Tim Spiers on the pod after Day 11 of the World Cup as Australia, Argentina and Poland advance to the knockout stages. Samantha Lewis joins us after Australia pulled off a shock knockout stage progression at Denmark’s expense. Argentina make early fears of a premature exit after their defeat to Saudi Arabia seem premature after a comfortable win over a Poland side who started counting yellow cards to avoid elimination. Mexico so nearly made it through but a conservative start to the tournament couldn’t be compensated for by a barnstorming finish against Saudi Arabia. Looking ahead, Belgium face behind the scenes bedlam and an improving Croatian side as obstacles to their progress in this World Cup. Kristoff Terreur gives us a review of what could be a hellish night for the Red Devils. This Totally Football Show was produced by Steve Hankey. Hosted on Acast.

It's Sunday morning and host Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas and Charlotte Harpur to reflect on Lionel Messi handing Argentina a World Cup lifeline in typical style... James Horncastle offers his thoughts on Messi's moments of brilliance, was Enzo Fernandez' goal an even sweeter strike and why Mexico fans are frustrated with coach Gerardo Martino.

Jimbo’s joined by Michael Cox and Dom Fifield to dissect a pivotal Day 7 of World Cup action. Argentina stay in the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Mexico in Doha. Is this the start of something special? Or are they too reliant on Messi magic? And elsewhere in Group C, it’s a big day for Robert Lewandowski and Wojciech Szczesny. France are the first nation through to the last 16 with the irresistible Kylian Mbappe leading the holders to victory over Denmark. And it looks like Australia could be joining them. Samantha Lewis tells us about the fight and the fire of the Socceroos. Plus we look at all the slow first halves and Raphael Honigstein previews what could be the curtain call for Germany as they prepare to face Spain on Sunday. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Day 6 of the World Cup and Jimbo’s joined by Tom Williams, Liam Thame, Omid Djalili and more! England and USA battle to a goalless draw as The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio once again rues missed opportunities for the US. And why can’t Gareth Southgate find room for Phil Foden?

But can progress to the last 16 help highlight Iran’s troubles to the world? Elsewhere, Qatar are the earliest exiting hosts ever as Enter Valencia continues to rack up the stats for Ecuador.

Jimbo is joined by Jay Harris, Liam Tharme, James Horncastle, Joshua Kloke and Wael Jabir after a historic day 3 in Qatar. Saudi Arabia shock the world by coming from behind to beat Argentina.

We look ahead to Wednesday’s action as The Athletic’s Joshua Kloke previews the biggest game in the history of the Canadian national team as they prepare to take on the number 2 ranked team in the world Belgium. Canada don’t have a new kit but will they look the part? France also come from behind to make light work of Australia, with Olivier Giroud equalling the all-time France scoring record.

And from where they are standing right now, they might even find a home playoff game if they keep playing the way they are. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 3-2 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night and why the Galaxy now have an identity. How important were the additions of Gaston Brugman and Riqui Puig? And why is the 4-3-3 the way the Galaxy close out this season? Plus, has Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez done enough to deserve another year on his contract? Would you re-sign a player who scored 34 goals in his last two seasons and is the team's MVP once again? Or is it time to ship the all-time leader in goal scoring for the Mexican National team elsewhere? And all the little interesting things that the guys get to talk about because it looks like the Galaxy are actually going to make the playoffs. Can you say "playoff bracket?" We've got a good one for you today! Thanks for listening!

Hoo boy. Feels a little like 2019. Berhalter says we need centerbacks who can hold a high line but we couldn't establish a high line because we couldn't possess the ball in part because one of our centerbacks isn't a good passer. Add in a brutal performance from the midfield and this was a bad one. Mixed zone audio courtesy Sanjay Sujanthakumar.

In fact, Sporting KC could do nothing wrong, and the Galaxy didn't deserve to do anything right. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 4-2 loss to SKC and much more. But is Greg Vanney getting the tactics wrong? Or is he putting his faith in players that don't want to play the way he asks? Is Douglas Costa a problem child for the Galaxy? And why are Julian Araujo and Raheem Edwards being rested? Plus, could Araujo be on his way to Porto in only a few days? Would you take $5-million from a European side if it meant that Araujo would have to leave immediately? Or would you hold onto the Mexican International in hopes of a break out at the World Cup? And Riqui Puig is in Los Angeles. Does that mean he has his Visa and is ready to play? Or will he have to sit out Vancouver to be prepared for Seattle? Finally, Josh and Kevin discuss the Galaxy's play to take over the lease at Championship Soccer Stadium at the Great Park in Irvine. Why are the Galaxy moving south with eyes on Orange County? And why did they back off when pressured? We've got a packed show with a lot of analysis, some insight, and a lot of Galaxy-talk! So join us as we get you through our little Corner of the Galaxy.

The Transfer Window is officially closing. But the LA Galaxy have done some excellent business this window. With no DP slots and while somewhat restricted on TAM, the Galaxy were able to land Gaston Brugman and their just announced signing, 22-year-old Riqui Puig. And then they sent Rayan Raveloson to Ligue 1 for a sizeable transfer fee. It's a coup of sorts for an under-fire front office. And it comes on the heels of a solid performance at the first-ever soccer game played at SoFi Stadium. It was a night where the future of the Galaxy was on full display. Hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou will update you on Galaxy news and talk about how all these pieces fall together for the season's home stretch. The first item on the itinerary has Josh and Sophie talk about the Galaxy's confidence after beating Chivas at SoFi Stadium. What did the stadium have to offer, and why was Greg Vanney beaming afterward? And what details can we share about the transfers of Puig and Raveloson? What grade does the front office get for the moves they've made? Finally, what can we expect from a game in Kansas City? Is this another place that, historically, the Galaxy don't win? Is this a "Can't Lose" game with just 12 of them remaining? We've got a great show for you tonight as the transfer window shuts and the season comes into stark focus.

- 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 are back in action on Saturday. And that means the podcast has to gear up for another game week. So as the Galaxy slowly work their way toward their match with the Portland Timbers, we want to get you out of this international break. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to tie up any loose ends and finally put his extended break to bed. The guys will start with some more observations on the Galaxy's win over Austin FC and why Dejan Joveljic is practically screaming at Greg Vanney to let him start. What do the stats say about Joveljic's scoring prowess in recent games? And does that mean more minutes for the Galaxy's chess-minded striker? Josh and Kevin will also dive into some updates on the Galaxy's group of internationals and why Efrain Alvarez's stint with the U-21s isn't a great sign for the club. Plus, did Julian Araujo finally find the field for Mexico? And why three young Galaxy players are fighting for Olympic and U-20 World Cup spots. Finally, the guys want to start looking ahead to who the Galaxy may chase in the transfer market this summer. And why Josh thinks there could be a big splash on a short-term contract. Do you feel like this 2022 team is better than last year? Are they passing the eye test? We've got a packed show ready for your listening and viewing pleasure. So let's get started.
