And after a very disappointing season, the Galaxy have an opportunity to cause some chaos for the Western Conference. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira get you ready for the Galaxy's final showdown of the 2023 season and tell you why this was not a good year for the Galaxy. The guys will update you on injuries, discuss some player contracts that are coming due, and discuss some grades for the outgoing class of Designated Players. Will Douglas Costa and Javier Hernandez be back in Galaxy uniforms? Will Chicharito show up to Fan Appreciation Day? And have Chicharito and Costa meant to the Galaxy during their tenures? The guys want to break down the Dallas game and tell you why it will absolutely matter to Dallas and what's at stake in the conference. Plus, there are updates on the Fan Council, a new mini-pitch in Lakewood, and Josh reveals his ballot for Player of the Year and Defender of the Year for the Galaxy. It's a packed show! And we're glad you hung out with us for another season of Galaxy soccer.

Will the rain hold off? Or will the Galaxy's playoff hopes come crashing down along with the raindrops? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's chances of coming out on top against a red-hot Portland side. And with Riqui Puig questionable, Douglas Costa probable, and Chris Mavinga out, will the Galaxy have enough difference-makers to make their final case? Chief Creative and Brand Officer Will Misselbrook will also join the guys. Will and the guys will discuss the Galaxy's brand and why he thinks he can bring it back to the spotlight! Mathematically, the Galaxy won't be eliminated on Saturday with a loss. But with such a small window to get to the playoffs, it would be hard to pretend they could make it without a win against Portland. Who will play significant roles against Portland? And why is it anyone's guess about how this team progresses through the final five games? We've got a bunch to talk about and get to! So don't miss it! Join us as we get you ready for Portland!

The LA Galaxy got a 3-0 win over a 10-man Chicago Fire side on Saturday night. And it was a rare instance of the Galaxy taking care of business. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's win over Chicago and why the team from LA should be feeling confident about their battle in the Bay Area against the Earthquakes. The guys will highlight performances by Riqui Puig, Douglas Costa, and Edwin Cerrillo. Plus, they'll tell you why Diego Fagundez wasn't allowed to play. There are the usual stats, a look at the upcoming schedule, and why the Galaxy -- who are 13th out of 14 teams in the Western Conference -- still have hopes of a playoff run. We've got a bunch to talk about today. And we're delighted you could join us.

But we can't believe they have turned a corner, right? Didn't we ban that phrase from the podcast? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter go over the Galaxy's 1-1 draw and talk about the performance of Douglas Costa. Was Costa worthy of the team of the match win? And what stat did he match on Sunday morning? Can the Galaxy get a repeat of what seemed like a more motivated Costa? Did Greg Vanney have to talk to Costa to get him to show up for the Galaxy finally? And what about Chicharito? Will we ever see that man on a soccer field again? How would he want to go out? We've got a great show for you today! Thanks for listening!

We need to talk about all of it. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss all the latest Galaxy news, including President Chris Klein's dismissal. How did the players react? And why did AEG and Dan Beckerman pick now when the writing was on the wall since before the season started? The guys will also dive into Douglas Costa's legal predicament and why it could be a real problem for the Brazilian Designated Player. Plus, there's a discussion about the win over Real Salt Lake and why Calegari is slowly turning into one of the best defenders the Galaxy have. Is it wild that the Galaxy won a VAR decision, converted a Penalty Kick, and then had to come from behind with goals from Memo Rodriguez and Tyler Boyd? Is it weird to see Greg Vanney pulling all the right strings? And what is up with Boyd's hand? We've got a great show for you today, so don't miss it!

And it's another injury that will put the Designated Player out for the next month. Does that help the Galaxy establish a rhythm? On today's show, the infirmed Eric Vieira takes the night off as Josh Guesman does another surprise solo show -- we promise he tried to get another host in. Josh will start with Hollywood pricing for LA Galaxy II as they prepare to host Wrexham in what should be a star-studded event. But with what seems like outrageous ticket prices, is this game for Galaxy fans? Or is it a cash grab for Wrexham? And is that okay if the Galaxy are getting a share of that as well? And will you be surprised by the level of play? Josh will then talk about the Galaxy ranking near the bottom in Analytics and why that probably doesn't tell the whole story. But it's certainly a story we've been telling for close to seven years. Is there improvement any time soon? But the main crux of the show is listening to Greg Vanney's media availability for this week as the Galaxy prepare for Colorado. Vanney talks about injuries to Costa, Jonathan Bond, and Chris Mavinga and when you can expect those players to return to the team. And there's also some discussion about the U-20 guys and whether they'll be released for the U-20 World Cup. Will Jalen Neal be able to make an appearance? And what about Julian Aude? Finally, Josh will prepare you for Colorado's defense and talk about how both teams are struggling to find goalscorers. Will Kevin Cabral be welcomed back to Dignity Health Sports Park? Will Robin Fraser find a way to unlock the Galaxy's mistake-prone possession? We've got a great show for you tonight -- full of LA Galaxy news and discussion. Thanks for joining us!

Or was it on par with the 2023 LA Galaxy season as a whole? How did you view the loss? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 2-0 loss to Orlando and why some people are ready to put Greg Vanney on the hot seat. So is Vanney to blame for this season? Did Chris Klein handcuff him with decisions from years ago? And can the Galaxy still find a way into the playoffs? Josh and Kevin will talk about Hollywood's team coming to play Hollywood's team and look ahead to the Galaxy's match with the Colorado Rapids this weekend. They'll also discuss Douglas Costa's no good, very bad day and why Vanney could be giving him a chance to play himself off the team. What reception will Costa get when he comes back to Carson? And what reception does Kevin Cabral get when he steps on the field against the Galaxy this weekend? We've got so much to talk about and so much to do! We're delighted you want to join us on today's show!

That's when they'll take on a struggling Austin FC side at Dignity Health Sports Park. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to argue about Douglas Costa, lament the transfer positions the Galaxy now find themselves in and get you ready for the recycled plastic shirts that will grace every MLS game this weekend. The guys will start by looking at one of the few wins the Galaxy have had in 2023. They'll talk about Tyler Boyd's Goal of the Week, Efrain Alvarez's uneventful trip to play with the Mexican National Team, and dive into Greg Vanney's updates from training today. Are the Galaxy's transfer problems Vanney's problems? And why did the Galaxy wait to get someone across the line? Have they learned things since the first game they didn't know to start the season? And can Douglas Costa play any type of meaningful role on this team? Or is it time to just write him off? Also, is Greg Vanney throwing his hands up with Costa? Josh and Eric will close out the show with a dramatic game preview and all the Austin talk you can handle. What's your prediction for the game? Can you guess better than Eric and Josh?

Seattle hung four on Sporting KC, and Jordan Morris is firing on all cylinders and has double the goals the Galaxy have scored all season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira talk about the lead-up to Seattle and a whole bunch more. The guys will start by looking back on the draw to Portland while discussing the major issues the Galaxy see in the attack. What can Calegari do that Leerdam couldn't? And why is Julian Aude being sought by Italy? Josh and Eric will talk with Steven from AFJA about all the incredible work that the organization does and where all Josh's Pupusa money goes. Finally, the guys are discussing the matchup with Seattle and why there's a lot of history that will probably work against the home team. If this is a clash of styles, who bends in a game where both teams want the ball and love to build up? And with Douglas Costa staying -- Greg Vanney said so -- what can we expect from a leaner, meaner, Bayern-like Costa? If you aren't getting anyone else, can Costa save this team on the offensive side while Chicharito stays getting all pumped up at home? We've got a great show for you on a Thursday night, a Friday morning, a Saturday, or whichever day you choose to listen! As always, thanks for the support!

They didn't get one in Portland. So are we looking at this with an optimistic eye? Are the Galaxy getting better with no wing play? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman covers for a flying Panda. Kevin Baxter is off on assignments. Josh will be joined by Alex Ruiz, the LA Galaxy beat reporter for The Striker, to talk about the Galaxy's 0-0 draw with the Portland Timbers. Alex and Josh will discuss the debut of Calegari, talk about the play of Memo Rodriguez, and tell you why Gaston Brugman has been the best Galaxy player over the last couple of games. But with little to no wing play, can the Galaxy find the guys to make this team complete with just 24 days until the window closes? And will Douglas Costa be back on the field against Seattle? Or is he headed for a buyout? Josh will then break down the Galaxy's first four games on the game tracking charts and tell you why you don't know what kind of team the Galaxy will be from the first four games. But at this point, it could go either way. Hang on for another bumpy internet ride. Your captain has turned on the fasten-seatbelts sign.

But they did fight back to earn a draw in a game where a win wouldn't have felt out of place. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the wins, the losses, and the draws of the weekend when it comes to the Galaxy. Josh and Kevin will discuss the protest before the match, the atmosphere inside the stadium, and why neither party probably got exactly what they were looking for out of the game and out of the showing. The guys will also dive into the improved play from the Galaxy and why Tyler Boyd's mere presence was enough to make this team look a lot better. So where do the improvements need to come from? And are you worried about Jonathan Klinsmann replacing Jonathan Bond? Kevin will talk about the worry heading into the Portland match, as Chicharito and Douglas Costa need to make their return. Do they do it on turf? And finally, the guys look at standings, schedule, and the big news that Will Kuntz has joined the club. What can Kuntz bring to the Galaxy? And why could his presence help end the boycott? Let's talk it out! We've got a great show for you tonight, and we're thrilled you could join us!

But they haven't beaten Sporting KC since 2019, and Greg Vanney doesn't have a great record against Peter Vermes. So what does that mean for a rainy Saturday night in Kansas? The almost great club of Cristiano Ronaldo? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the year some movies came out, a movie star they had a crush on, and, oh yeah, the Galaxy! They'll start by talking about some general assessments of the club before heading into the weekend matchup with SKC, and they'll talk about the pieces that everyone expects to arrive. Josh and Sophie will also talk about some Spanish legends making appearances with some Galaxy players (Pau Gasol, Iker Casillas) and why Riqui Puig looks like your kid brother that gets you in trouble all the time. Is there a rift with Dejan Joveljic? Your hosts will then talk about Leagues Cup and why the Galaxy and every other team in MLS and Liga Mx will take this tournament seriously while also prepping you for the game on Saturday. Will the rain be coming down in KC? Will the Galaxy find a way to make up for some seriously downgraded pieces? And whats with Chase Gasper, Sega Coulibaly, Javier Hernandez, and Douglas Costa? We've got it all for you! Thanks for joining us! We hope you were entertained for at least five minutes. We can't be expected to be engaging for more than that!

And no, LA Galaxy fans, you're not alone. Everyone in the league is talking about the Galaxy. On today's epic 2023 start-of-season show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira are going to talk through all the news, all the rumors, and all the game preview information that you need to know before you head out to the game on Saturday -- whether that's at the bar or the stadium. Josh and Eric will discuss number changes, AppleTV, Lucas Calegari, Uri Rosell, the weather, Karate Kid, boycotts, Riqui Puig's jacket, and the El Trafico to start the season. It's a nearly 2-hour podcast with all the little details you need. Do you like the kits adidas put out in 2023? Do you want to know the playoff format and why the best-of-three series doesn't have us excited? And would you like to know why the Galaxy are mentioned a lot in The Athletic's anonymous survey? You shouldn't be surprised by the unfinished Galaxy roster, but it may have improved with Calegari's addition. Plus, will the Galaxy buyout Douglas Costa on a Friday afternoon with just hours left until the start of the season (conspiracy theory)? We're ready for the 2023 season. The Galaxy are pretty ready too. Let's get to it!

And that's more important in the preseason. But which player made their big debut despite not officially being signed by the club? Hosts Josh Guesman (Kevin is on an airport run for this episode. But he'll be back next week) talks about his trip to the desert and why Coachella has so much potential as a soccer destination. But he'll also dive into how the event was set up and all the Galaxy news you can handle. Josh will get you all the details on the Galaxy's 4-1 loss to the Portland Timbers and why Memo Rodriguez, Douglas Costa, Efrain Alvarez, and Tyler Boyd all made some positive impressions. But the defense still needs some work. Josh will also discuss and talk about what Greg Vanney had to say after the game and why an incomplete team is likely headed to one of the biggest games in the history of the league. He'll explain that too. But there will also be talk about rumors and why the Galaxy may be targeting a U-22 Right Back. Could Julian Araujo's replacement be coming from Brazil? And are the Galaxy going to let you protest inside the stadium? Maybe that crackdown has already started? There's much to talk about today, and Josh wants to ensure you get all the details!

Even if it's for personal reasons, is it time to worry about how they'll find replacements in a very short amount of time? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to discuss the bind that the Galaxy now find them in and try and hammer out several strategies the Galaxy could use to get what they want. But does Samuel Grandsir's departure mean Douglas Costa is staying? And can you trust Costa to be a 34-game player in 2023? Plus, why are the Galaxy eyeing 2024 while all of this is happening? Josh and Kevin will also talk about Leagues Cup and why all the teams will probably take it seriously. We've got a solid show for you on a Monday night, and we're delighted you could join us!

And there were a lot of takeaways to discuss. Plus, have you heard about a boycott? AEG has its hands full on this one. And they probably can't blame anyone else but themselves. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman (LA Galaxy Beat Reporter) and Kevin Baxter (LA Times Soccer Reporter) discuss all the latest club news and why Dejan Joveljic is only half the man he was last year. We'll explain. The guys will discuss all the news nuggets Greg Vanney dropped in his media availability. That includes discussions about Douglas Costa and Sam Grandsir. Could both be gone? Could both be back? Why did Vanney have some strong words about Costa and wanting to play in Los Angeles? Could the Galaxy be relying on Jalen Neal on defense? Maybe they're focused on another young designated player? And why does Vanney think he's got 2-3 good moves to make? Plus, Josh and Kevin want to talk about the Supporter's Groups boycott of the LA Galaxy season. They want Chris Klein gone. So why did AEG bring him back when they didn't need to? And what is a solution that allows everyone to walk away, saving some face? Is this a staring contest? And if so, who blinks first? Why could Herbalife and AppleTV be big players in a resolution? We've got a lot to talk about. And as we approach 1,000 shows (show 999), we're glad you've been around for the ride!

And then the news dropped, during the show, that Chris Klein would be back with the club for the 2023 season. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou get sidetracked in the middle of their usual run down with breaking news from Kevin Baxter and the LA Times that Klein would return after suspension. So all the talk about AppleTV and what that deal will now entail might seem a little less important when you go back and listen to the show. The conversation about announcers and what MLS teams are required to produce for the League Pass "verticals" might seem trivial. But at the time, we didn't know we'd be interrupting the show with breaking news. Hear from Baxter about Klein and his most recent talk with Greg Vanney, which happened just minutes before Kevin joined the show. There are rumors about Douglas Costa and Sam Grandsir, and we even dive into the reversible jackets that Tim Cook unwittingly unveiled. We've got a ton to talk about, so let's get to it. This was a crazy one!

So why was social media abuzz with Chris Klein mentions today? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's status ahead of their first day on the field. Kevin calls in from MLS Media Day and talks about the sudden pull-back of Julian Araujo. There's also the most in-depth talk about Chris Klein's current status and why lawyers are involved. Does this mean a resolution to the problem is near? Or is speculation just too dangerous at this point? Plus, Josh and Kevin want to discuss Greg Vanney's management style and why Douglas Costa could be more at home in Brazil. I mean it makes sense? So should you be expecting a new Designated Player soon? We've got a lot to talk about. And we're going to keep it short and sweet! Join us for this little Corner of the Galaxy.

Plus, how do you view the 2022 season? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter on today's show discuss the LA Galaxy's loss to LAFC in the second-ever playoff El Trafico. But beyond that, they try and figure out what this season has meant and what the biggest question marks are for the club heading into the offseason. The guys will start by looking back on a wildly entertaining El Trafico, but a game that the Galaxy came up short in because their best players didn't show up. Did LAFC push Riqui Puig to be outside his normal playing zone? Did they isolate Gaston Brugman? And did Douglas Costa show why the Galaxy can't trust him for the 2023 season? Plus, is Kevin Cabral on the trading block? Or will the Galaxy find a way to buy out his contract when push comes to shove? We've got a small primer on what to expect from the offseason and why things might not really take shape until after this winter World Cup. As always, thanks for joining us, and buckle up for another wild offseason! The Galaxy have flexibility, so how will they use it?

In a very comfortable performance, LA was able to out-defense the defensive side of Nashville SC and, in turn, make Martin Caceres and Sega Coulibaly stars of the show. On today's podcast, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the 1-0 win over Nashville on Saturday while also keeping an eye firmly on the next matchup. That's right. It's another Playoff El Trafico (Don Garber is so happy right now). And the biggest game in all of MLS (we'll keep saying it) gets more significant with the added pressure of the playoffs. The guys will start by discussing the win over Nashville and how the Galaxy's midfield had the match won reasonably early. Did the visitors make a mistake by not trying to match up with the Galaxy's midfield? Did the two-forward set cause some confusion in the first half, but not enough to worry the Galaxy? And did the Galaxy really shut down two very talented strikers -- one of which won the Golden Boot and is the likely MLS MVP? There are so many angles to judge this game. Did Douglas Costa's stumbles in the first-half cause the Galaxy to stumble? How vital was Julian Araujo's play on the edges? And were fans right to boo Kevin Cabral before he even stepped on the field? We've got a lot to talk about, and then we hang in there to ensure you have the most updated bracket. Will Josh and Kevin wow you with their penalty prediction skills? Join us for a special playoff edition of Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box.
