On today’s podcast, your hosts Josh Guesman and LA GalaxyInsider Adam Serrano are joined by LA Times Soccer Writer, Kevin Baxter. Together, the guys try to pinpoint some of the reasons for Giovani dos Santo’s poor LA Galaxy performance to date. They’ll talk about his injury issues and about happiness. They’ll also dive into Gio’s positioning, his tendencies as a player, and what the LA Galaxy need to do for him as well as what he needs to do for the team. This is a show that’s dedicated to trying to better understand a player who’s gone through 8 teams in 10 years. And it’s also a player who has the future of an organization firmly planted on his shoulders. Whether fans appreciate Giovani dos Santos for what he is – a bridge player – the fact is that he’s supposed to be the single LA Galaxy designated player who’ll be playing down the road. This is not a short term project. What do you expect from Giovani dos Santos? Do you think he could ever be as great for the LA Galaxy as a Landon Donovan? Is that even a fair comparison? And what happens when Robbie Keane gets healthy? Dos Santos is playing in Keane’s position right now. Is it time for Robbie Keane to bow out to the younger player? It’s an insightful show that might just got to prove how difficult a job Bruce Arena is going to have in the coming weeks and months. Player selection, position selection and injuries could very well be the difference between making the playoffs and winning the Supporters Shield.

Seth, Pablo & Thomas discuss DC United & the weekend's Major League Soccer results before being joined by New York Cosmos COO Erik Stover.

On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas do their best to get you ready for the LA Galaxy game on Saturday. They'll first dive into the 4-1 win over the Houston Dynamo. Giovani dos Santos and Steven Gerrard played some of their best soccer yet for the LA Galaxy, but was it their best performance since joining the team? And will some surprising stats change your mind about Giovani dos Santos and his play with the LA Galaxy? And really, you couldn't talk about the Houston game without talking about the form they're in. Houston is not good. But does that mean that LA isn't as good as last Friday says they are? Next, LA Galaxy Defender Daniel Steres joins CoG. Dan talks with Josh about growing up an LA Galaxy fan, about his partnership with Jelle Van Damme, and about his growing confidence and how "visualization" is the key to his success. They'll also take a quick look ahead to the weekend as Steres tells you what he expects from Kyle Beckerman and the rest of the Real Salt Lake offense. Finally, Josh and Wendy cruise through some LA Galaxy news, Josh gets called "out of shape," they answer some tweets and they preview the Saturday night matchup with Real Salt Lake. You better get to StubHub early, or at least earlier than Wendy (Golfing, BBQ, Soccer) because we expect there to be an "adjustment period" for the new security screening rules that MLS put into effect over all 20 MLS teams and venues. But the Real Salt Lake game looks be the best test yet for this relatively young LA Galaxy season. RSL comes into StubHub Center undefeated (last remaining MLS team to be undefeated) and is looking to put a stop to the LA Galaxy's momentum.

The Red Bulls drop two more matches out west while trying to right the ship. Orlando visits Red Bull Arena this week, and the SR boys preview the match. Homegrown Alex Muyl makes his Seeing Red debut with a frank interview.

Plus all the scores, yammering, and threats of insolence you've come to expect on the latest Straight Red. #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K

On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider, Adam Serrano are joined by Four Four Two's Scott French (@ScottJFrench) to discuss the LA Galaxy's defense. It's an important conversation to understand what this team will have to deal with when and if all their injured players get healthy. Who's your starting backline? Who do you bench? The guys will discuss AJ DeLaGaraza, Daniel Steres, Robbie Rogers, Jelle Van Damme, Ashley Cole and others as they try and figure out who ends up being left out. Bruce Arena has tough decisions to make and that could include benching a player like AJ DeLaGarza. Is AJ's best position in the center of the backline? Or is it out on the right? And if DeLaGarza is playing at right back then where does Robbie Rogers play? Do you bench Daniel Steres if AJ plays at center back? And who plays better in the right back position? Is it AJ or Rogers? There are endless combinations but who gets the start and who gets the bench is up to you! Along the way your hosts will talk about how squad rotation may start to answer some of these questions. After all, this team is filled with players over the age of 30. And maybe you could find a way to move Rogers into midfield? We want to know what you've decided. Hit us up on twitter and lets us know who gets the bench for you starting backline.

What do you do when you get to bed at 1:15AM on Monday morning after an exhausting LA Galaxy game? You do a special live version of Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box, of course! Our hosts, take your calls on the ugly tackle by LA Galaxy Midfielder Nigel De Jong. How much does his reputation play into it? How much does his past play into his punishment? How many games does Nigel De Jong deserve to be suspended? How do you view the LA Galaxy? Is it their fault? Just the simple question of is Nigel De Jong a dirty player? We try and talk this through reasonably and without a slant towards the team. This is about what actually happened and can we separate the emotion from it? This is an in-depth look at the Nigel De Jong tackle taking your calls and your concerns about the situation. It got so heated over the weekend that you had the LA Galaxy twitter account and the Portland Timbers account trading jabs. And with Nigel gone, the LA Galaxy now face the possibility of being severely shorthanded for their Friday match agains the Houston Dynamo. If it's not injuries, it's suspensions. You can read a full recap of the game here and you can catch a transcript of the Josh's interview with Nigel De Jong here. This show is about emotion and what it this sport does to us. It's a really good show and I'm glad you could join us!

Christian Pulisic and Bobby Wood are tearing up Germany while Nigel de Jong deserved a red and a suspension. No argument here. Meanwhile, whether Alex has a good haircut or not is an entirely different matter. And you will only find out for sure in the next Straight Red. Which happens to be this Straight Red. Lucky you. #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K

Seth, Pablo & Thomas discuss DC United, the weekend's Major League Soccer results & Nigel de Jong's tackle on Darlington Nagbe.

It's another 60+ minutes of LA Galaxy talk with your hosts Josh Guesman Cory Ritzau. The guys have planned a completely packed show with your calls and your reactions to Vancouver and of course they'll be looking ahead to the MLS's defending Champs coming to town on Sunday. But it's important to start from the beginning. The guys will really get into the mix of feelings and emotions behind the LA Galaxy's road draw against a shorthanded Vancouver Whitecaps. Missing two starters to injury and having to suffer a red card early the first half somehow Vancouver was able to stop the Galaxy from scoring. But was it because of a sub-par lineup? Was it because LA was missing all three of it's designated players? Or was it simply a lineup problem? Cory and Josh continue some of the discussion that was had on this weeks CoG: From the Box about the LA Galaxy's creativity. The show will get you updated on LA Galaxy News and LA Galaxy II's come-from-behind win to keep themselves undefeated. In addition you'll be getting the most up to date injury information that we can gather together. MLS Standings are now something to pay attention to and the Cory will tell you who he thinks are the pretenders and who's underachieving. Will Seattle stay in the basement? Will Portland find a way to right the ship? Finally, the boys will turn their to the game against the Timbers on Sunday. With the Champs in town the LA Galaxy should have no trouble finding motivation. If you remember, the 5-2 win over the LA Galaxy was an important part of Portland's MLS Cup run. So will the Galaxy have enough enough fire power to exorcise the demons? It's another great episode of Corner of the Galaxy and we're glad you could join us!

Welcome to today's episode of The Best Soccer Show with Jason Davis and Jared DuBois. Jason & Jared kick off today's show discussing controversy surrounding D.C. United, red cards in MLS & 20 years of Major League Soccer.

It's a spectacular new episode of Corner of the Galaxy: From the box. Your hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano tackle the subject of creativity. It's a word that's tossed around by fans, coaches and pundits alike. But its a word we probably don't define as well as we should. What does it mean to be a creative player and do the LA Galaxy lack such a man on the roster? First, Fox Soccer Play-by-play announcer Dave Denholm (@TalkSoccer) calls in to give us his views on the LA Galaxy. Is it less about creating chances and more about the mentality of the players when they get on the road? Did Bruce Arena construct a team that was always playing for the draw in Vancouver? And who is the most creative player on the field for LA? Or perhaps it's more about positioning and players being played out of where they are comfortable? Regardless it's an excellent discussion on what this 2016 may be lacking. After the break, Josh is joined by ESPN Soccer Analyst Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman). Together they tackle some of the same issues that were brought up in the first segment but do it from the standpoint of Taylor's years of MLS play. They discuss the LA Galaxy's "anemic" offense and what factors into that. Is the jury still out on Giovani dos Santos? Or even Gyasi Zardes? And what about the injuries that have plagued the LA Galaxy so early in the season? Taylor will break it down for you and tell what he sees when watching the LA Galaxy and why creativity isn't about being spectacular. It's a great 30 minutes-plus of LA Galaxy talk. We don't pull any punches. You deserve the truth. And this show gives it to you.

The US Women say they should be paid as much as the US Men and, you know what? Yeah, they should. Alex and Geoff rant why. Plus, last week's MLS games, the Revolution/Red Bulls goal controversy, and why Alex thinks the Cincinnati Reds will win the World Series. All that and more in the latest Straight Red.

Red Bulls GM Marc de Grandpre joins Mark & Eric on a special 250th episode of Seeing Red.

It's another packed Corner of the Galaxy. Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas are only focused on one thing. And that's to make sure you know everything you need to know about the LA Galaxy before the game on Saturday. First Josh and Wendy are joined by the hardest working man in Soccer, Brian Dunseth. Dunny breaks down the LA Galaxy with and without Robbie Keane and what he thinks of the LA Galaxy's "style" so far in 2016. He'll also give you his thoughts on the Vancouver and what challenges the LA Galaxy face on Saturday. Then it's back to the show. Josh and Wendy will talk the two LA Galaxy II wins in the last week. They'll highlight their favorite players, Jack McBean, Ariel Lassiter and more as well as tell you why you should be watching the young guns play for the lower division teams. Is the injury list growing? They'll talk about Robbie Keane's surprise surgery, how long they expect him out as well as going over the rest of the injury list. Steven Gerrard and Giovani dos Santos both make an appearance on this list but who else? Finally your hosts will look ahead to some great events and the big game with Vancouver on Saturday. Vancouver has had a lot of luck lately with penalty kicks and the shorthanded LA Galaxy will need all the help they can get. Its a little turf, a little Dunseth and little bit of Rock n Roll. We've got a great show for you, so thank for supporting us since 2009. It's been a fun road and we only plan on getting better and bigger.

Welcome to today's episode of Soccer Morning on Backheel. Today's show kicks off with Brian Sciaretta (American Soccer Now) to recap the United States' 4-0 win over Guatemala and the U23's loss to Colombia.

It's another deep dive into the LA Galaxy's development system and how the team is using and cultivating it's young talent. There's been well documented criticism of LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena for constructing a very "old" team in the offseason. With Ashley Cole, Robbie Keane, and Steven Gerrard all into their 35th year, and other "mature" talents like Jeff Larentowicz and Mike Magee signing with the team there's no doubt that experience runs deep. But are there players capable of making a splash on the senior team that have been developed by the LA Galaxy's Academy and USL teams? Hosts Josh Guesman and LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano take a look at how the LA Galaxy have exploited Southern California for it's soccer riches and how they keep talent locked away on LA Galaxy II and their Academy teams. Plus they'll look onto the LA Galaxy II roster to find some of the guys who are ready to break free of the lower division and make a splash in Major League Soccer. They'll also discuss the experience of these younger kids and what they can offer up a very experienced team.

On the show Josh will be joined by LA Galaxy II Head Coach Curt Onalfo (@soccer_curt) to discuss their upcoming season opener at StubHub Center on Saturday night. The Game will kick-off at 7:30PM and Alan Gordon will be tailgating with those of you who come early. It should be a great time and a great way to kick off a very fun USL season. After Curt Onalfo gets everyone fired up for the game we'll be talking to LA Galaxy II Captain Jack McBean (@JackMcBean). Jack will talk about his evolution with the LA Galaxy. After all he started with the team when he was just 16 years old and now, five years later, he's one of the hottest forwards going into this LA Galaxy II season. It's a great talk with Jack about the growing pains he's had to go through to get to where he is right now. Along the way the guys will recap the 3-1 win over San Jose. They'll take your CoG Hotline calls and they'll get you updated on the important LA Galaxy news. International Call-ups and the upcoming schedule highlight this news segment.

Welcome to today's episode of The Best Soccer Show with Jason Davis and Jared DuBois. Jason & Jared kick off today's show discussing the US U-23's, the United States' World Cup qualifying matches against Guatemala & week 3 of Major League Soccer.

CoG Studios - Your hosts are joined by the Daily Breeze's Soccer Writer, Thuc Nhi Nguyen (@ThucNhi21)to discuss LA Galaxy Defender Ashley Cole. Together they look to dissect what made people dislike Ashley Cole so much. They'll look at the positives and negatives associated with signing a 35-year old defender and what he has brought to the LA Galaxy in just 270 minutes played and a well played last 90 minutes vs San Jose. While most of the hate and vitriol surrounding Ashely Cole is probably due to the initial reports of the LA Galaxy looking to use Targeted Allocation Money (all of it) to sign him, there are other negatives that he brought to the table. Cole had made comments about Major League Soccer that led people to believe he though of it as retirement league and that he wouldn't take it seriously. And again, his age and the comparable age of Steven Gerrard also played a significant role in the initial hate. But has Ashley Cole already made a significant contribution on the field of the LA Galaxy? And can you consider him "a steal" as one of the highest paid left backs in MLS? All things to be considered when judging this signing a success or a failure. And what would constitute a success for this Bruce Arena move? How many games does Ashley Cole have to play and by what metric is he "worth" the LA Galaxy's confidence? It's a great show looking at one of the strongest players for the LA Galaxy in 2016 so far. And yes, we're very well aware that we're only 3 games into the season.

Seth, Pablo & Thomas discuss D.C. United's draw with Colorado & Jurgen Klinsmann's roster for World Cup qualifying.

Eric Gomez then comes on the show to look at Mexico's latest roster & the epic Super Clasico from last weekend.

It's another packed show talking about your LA Galaxy. Your hosts Josh Guesman and Wendy Thomas will walk you through the disappointing result in Denver. Was the defense to blame for their almost perfect performance against Colorado? Or was leaving Marco Pappa unmarked a sign of bigger issues for this LA Galaxy back line? What did you think of Brian Rowe's goalkeeping performance? And what did you make of the LA Galaxy's offensive numbers? Is one shot enough? Or should we throw out the numbers in order to understand that LA did create some chances? The game vs Colorado probably opens up more questions than it answers. Then Josh and Wendy will turn their focus to the California Clasíco. It's the very first rivalry matchup in 2016 and San Jose is coming off two home wins that has them sitting atop of the Western Conference. With some dangerous players will the LA Galaxy's defense be stretched vs the Earthquakes? Or is the home form of San Jose just a fallacy? And what formation will Bruce Arena trot out against San Jose? Will Zardes finally get the start up top that everyone wants? Who's going to create in the midfield? And will Steven Gerrard be able to replicate his performance against Colorado? It's going to be a great game. Your hosts will also update you on injuries, team news, and all the new parking information the Galaxy have just released. We've got nearly 60 minutes of LA Galaxy talk and we can't wait to get to it!

We've got another great CoG: From the Box and we'll be re-living the bad portions of 2015 as the LA Galaxy gave up a late goal and found zero points on the road. It's a question that was asked throughout the season last year, and it's come back to life quickly in 2016. To help us talk about the mentality that is needed, we're joined by LAGalaxy.com Contributor Larry Morgan. The guys will discuss whether a different attitude is needed for this team. They talk about if the Galaxy are too timid when playing 90 minutes away from StubHub. They'll also discuss what would constitute success for the LA Galaxy on the road in 2016. Does the team switch tactics when on the road? Should the Galaxy approach games with a "3 points or die" attitude? And how does Bruce Areana approach road games? Does that differs from how Robbie Keane would approach them? It's a great show discussing a topic that is on everyone's mind. What do you think? How many wins on the road is preferable for this 2016 team?

New York dominates the stats sheet, but drops the home opener 0-2. Can a trip to Montreal raise the team's spirits? Mike Grella is our guest this week, and we've got a great selection of your emails.

For 45 minutes the LA Galaxy failed to do anything remotely dangerous with the ball in their season opener vs DC United. However, thanks to a injury to Giovani dos Santos, Bruce Arena was forced to make a substitution bringing on Mike Magee. What happened next was an offensive explosion from a single man in a route of DC United. So has Mike Magee solved the Galaxy's offensive issues? Is Bruce Arena now forced to sit Giovani dos Santos? What is the answer for the LA Galaxy's goal scoring issues? Your hosts Josh Guesman, LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano, and special guest, LA Times Sports Reporter, Kevin Baxter go over the details, as they see them. When are Steven Gerrard and Giovani dos Santos going to contribute or gel with this team? Does Bruce Arena need to implement some changes in positioning? It's a great, quick, talk on the LA Galaxy's struggling offense. Yes it's early in the season, but it doesn't mean that certain patterns haven't begun to emerge.

Your hosts Josh Guesman and Cory Ritzau will walk you through the LA Galaxy's complete failure to compete against Santos Laguna that resulted in the club being eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League. Why did the LA come out so flat? Was it a matter of heart? Was it a matter of tactics? Was it just simply that Liga MX is too good for Major League Soccer? They'll take your call on the matter and you'll get to hear directly from people who traveled to Torreón about the experience. Along the way Josh and Cory will debate the different narratives that were apparent after the loss to Santos Laguna. Is it Ashley Cole's fault? Or maybe you could blame Jelle Van Damme? What about Leonardo, could he be the reason the Galaxy failed to "show up" in Mexico? Then the guys will get to all the LA Galaxy news. They'll talk about Gyasi Zardes and his contract extension, the probable addition of Ariel Lassiter and the release of Dan Gargan and Ignacio Maganto. They'll also discuss the Ring of Honor and the LA Galaxy's upcoming schedule. Finally it's a quick shift of focus to the LA Galaxy's MLS opener.

It's a packed show made all the better by excellent callers and a giveaway. What more can you ask for than 65 minutes of LA Galaxy talk. Happy 2016 season everyone!
