- I AM THE NOISE T-SHIRT: https://www.bonfire.com/i-am-the-noise/ - SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy got bounced from the US Open Cup after a relatively poor showing from the club. Not even a two-goal attempted comeback could sell the team on a competent performance. Now the Galaxy head to the top team in the Western Conference, and St. Louis City isn't playing around. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Sophie Nicolaou discuss the latest in Galaxy news and get at the heart of many of the club's most significant issues. Josh and Sophie will touch on the firing of Chris Klein and the David Beckham link to Leonel Messi arriving in Major League Soccer. Does it feel weird for Galaxy fans not to land the big name? They'll also discuss the Galaxy's loss to Real Salt Lake and the injury to Chicharito. Could his appearance in Salt Lake be the last time the Mexico-all-time-scorer steps on the field for the Galaxy? And what roster mechanisms might open up for the Galaxy this Summer? Yes, summer. Finally, Josh and Sophie will get you information on the Galaxy's Sunday match against St. Louis. There's a really big chance this game ends in disaster. Thanks for joining us! Let's talk!
