COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It's going to be hot in Dallas. FC Dallas hasn't been good. And the LA Galaxy can't win in Dallas. What does that all mean?

Hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the current state of the LA Galaxy. They need points - any points. And they haven't taken a win from Dallas since 2015, and it will be an uphill battle on Saturday.

The guys will start by discussing the few fleeting rumors that briefly included the Galaxy. They'll talk about Luis Suarez's possible move to MLS after his Nacional stay. Would you want him on the Galaxy? And what to make of French winger Denis Bouanga? Is $8 million too much to ask? And were the Galaxy misidentified in the rumor?

Plus, Josh and Christian will talk about the movement of Markus Ferkranus, who will spend the rest of the season in Phoenix. Does this mean he's in the dog house?

But what do the stats say about this Galaxy team? And how many points will they need to make the playoffs? Can you identify 100-percent wins on this schedule?

Finally, the guys discuss the importance of fresh, young legs in the heat at Toyota Stadium this weekend. So that means Dejan Joveljic starts, right?

What can you expect from a place that often makes for weird games? Do you remember the win blowing in a goal for Dallas? Do you remember weather delays? Can the Galaxy win?

We've got a great show for you today, and we're thrilled you decided to join us!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It was ugly at times, but the LA Galaxy finally snapped that three-game losing streak. And while Atlanta United was not exactly playing up to top-tier standards, the Galaxy still showed some glimpses of what they might be able to do down the stretch.

Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's 2-0 victory and get into some details surrounding the game, both on and off the field.

Josh and Kevin start with Greg Vanney's choice of starting lineups. That included a Galaxy debut for Gaston Brugman, and starts for Chase Gasper and Eriq Zavaleta. And while those were question marks at the beginning of the game, they all worked well.

What can Brugman bring to the table for the Galaxy? What does a distributing six look like down the road? And are the Galaxy still looking to add one more piece?

Plus, how big of a story will Dejan Joveljic be in the next 13 games? Probably one of the biggest. Especially as he continues to score goals every time he's on the field. But how hesitant will Vanney be to start Joveljic?

We've got a great show for you, and we're thrilled you joined us!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy face off against a team they've never beaten. So will Atlanta United cause as many problems as the San Jose Earthquakes for LA?

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's continued fall from grace. They'll talk about the "Stupid Tax" the club has been paying with all of their transfers and why ghost teams probably aren't in place to get another signing across the line.

But what do we make of Gaston Brugman? Will he be an answer of sorts that fixes some of the issues the Galaxy have?

Plus, who would be your Penalty Kick takers in a winner-take-all shootout? Would you let Chicharito take one of them? What about Jonathan Bond?

Josh and Eric also want to talk about points totals and why there might be a low number this year for getting into the playoffs. Will 19 points be enough? What about 21? 24?

With just 14 games left (15 if you're Greg Vanney), the Galaxy need a confidence boost. But if they see another loss, will Vanney's seat get warm? What about other changes in the front office. Are jobs on the line?

We've got another packed show to prepare you for Atlanta United on Sunday!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy lost their third straight game as they came up well short of the Colorado Rapids side, which was the better team for 90 minutes. And then Derrick Williams told Spectrum that guys aren't listening to the coaching staff.

So that means there's a big problem in the locker room, right? Maybe not. Let's discuss.

Host Josh Guesman is joined by LA Galaxy beat reporter Damian Calhoun (LA Daily News / SoCal News Group) to discuss the Galaxy's loss to the Rapids and why the organization's dysfunction is showing its teeth right now.

Josh and Damian want to focus on the Galaxy's Designated Players and why Chicharito, Douglas Costa, and Kevin Cabral have been more misses than hits. What does that mean for the last 14 games of the season? And is there a way to the playoffs during this final stretch of games?

Plus, the Galaxy front office has some explaining to do regarding contract lengths and is not aware of who would have been coming available this summer. Is this evidence of more problems in the scouting and analytics department?

We've got a great show ready to get you through the early days of this week. And get you ready for the introduction of Gaston Brugman on Wednesday.

Let's get to listening!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy looked like they were the ones on Covid Vacation through the first 45-minutes of the match against the San Jose Earthquakes. But why the genuine lack of confidence in the defense? And can the Galaxy get their mojo back in the Mile-High City?

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night. And why there seems to be a pattern of "softness" on defense. Can the Galaxy and Greg Vanney make adjustments?

Why did Douglas Costa impress in his second-half performance, and why did Kevin Cabral's first assist of the season still leave everyone questioning his finishing? Plus, did Efrain Alvarez's bleached hair lead to another sub-par performance?

Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the first-half collapse and why this pattern will repeat itself until the players start playing with a little more confidence. Can the team psychology be mended before a necessary playoff run?

And the lack of infrastructure surrounding the Galaxy's acquisition tools keeps being a problem. So what more do the Galaxy need to do? Unfortunately, they need to have patience. And that's not going to be easy to do.

We've got a packed show to ensure you're ready for the match against Colorado. Will the altitude be a welcomed respite from the bright lights at Dignity Health Sports Park?

And will a short-handed Galaxy earn some road points against the Rapids?

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- Did you expect an emphatic win over Montreal on Monday night? And did the two-forward set do everything and more for the LA Galaxy?

On today's show, we've got a packed schedule. Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira have 120 minutes of Galaxy-talk on the way for you because there was only one show this week, thanks to some weird game schedules. So on a Wednesday night, we bring you all the hectic Galaxy news you need to know.

The guys will start by talking to TheStriker.com's Managing Editor Phil West about how that subscription-based service is coming to Los Angeles. And why they think LA is the perfect place to expand their coverage outside of Texas.

Then Josh and Eric want to break down the 4-4-2 and talk about the 4-0 win over Montreal. How did Javier Hernandez and Dejan Joveljic play together? And why will Greg Vanney use that formation sparingly?

Plus, did a meeting with Efrain Alvarez point the youngster in the right direction? Will his aggressive game against Montreal be the stepping stone to a longer MLS career?

Then the guys want to talk about the transfer rumors that saw Uruguayan defensive midfielder Gaston Brugman sign with the team on Wednesday and why Jesse Lingard rumors aren't fake. But can the Galaxy get him over the line? And is this simply a reaction to LAFC signing Gareth Bale?

And Josh will kill some other rumors that have been hanging around while passing down some of the conversations that were had with Vanney over a long sit-down on Saturday afternoon.

Finally, Josh and Eric will get you ready for El Trafico on Friday night and tell you why the Galaxy have the least amount of pressure they've had going into one of these games in a while. Can the "mental midgets" finally pressure the Galaxy in a game this year?

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- If you only made it through the first 45-minutes of the LA Galaxy's 3-2 loss to Minnesota United on Wednesday, we're not going to blame you.

A 25th-minute red card to Kevin Cabral threw the game- already 1-0 to the visitors- into even greater disarray.

But could some positives come out of a second half that was reminiscent of some of the better performances the Galaxy have had this year? Is scoring two goals while down a man enough of a gut check for this team?

And has Greg Vanney already lost the team?

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and special guest host Nikki Kay (SpectrumSN sports/sideline reporter) want to talk about this wild Galaxy game.

Josh and Nikki will start by reminding everyone that the transfer window is open, and Nikki will tell you what Vanney is expecting from a new defensive midfielder.

Then it's a deep dive into some of the good and a lot of the bad of the game against Minnesota. What did Nikki see from the sidelines? What reaction did the team provide in the last 45 minutes? And is the clock ticking on Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to start scoring goals and looking dangerous?

Then Josh and Nikki want to prepare you for Spectrum's coverage of the July 4th matchup between LA and CF Montreal. Can a Montreal side that just outplayed Seattle falter against a Galaxy team that can't decide if they're good or not?

We've got a lot to talk about, and we'll need you to listen along!

Thanks for coming to this Corner of the Galaxy!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- It's tough to get excited about the LA Galaxy right now. Even if you still believe this is a good team, it's not always easy to see. And there are plenty of ways you could take the highs and the lows.

So with a forced weekend off, it almost feels like the Galaxy got worse by not playing. Although with the loss to USL side Sacramento Republic still hanging over their heads, maybe it was good to get a short break.

On today's show, host Josh Guesman (Kevin Baxter is away in Qatar doing World Cup prep) is talking about all the moves around the LA area and why Galaxy fans are tough to please.

Josh will update you on quotes from Greg Vanney at training today, tell you why the Galaxy seem more set on two players now in this upcoming window, and why Vanney really wants a defensive midfielder. But does Vanney have a point?

During the show, Josh will also talk about the two names that might be headed toward the Galaxy once the transfer window opens and go over the roadblocks to bringing in two international players this summer.

Finally, he's getting you ready for the Galaxy's match with Minnesota United on Wednesday night and why this feels like a game the Galaxy should win. But how many times have we said that before?

We've got a packed show for you, and we're delighted you decided to come outside, get some fresh air, and just breathe in all this soccer talk!

COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will wish they were still on the international break. After surviving the Portland Timbers, surely an energized Galaxy side would be able to handle a lower division Sacramento Republic side. Not so fast. In fact, really slow and plodding.

On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the many ways the Galaxy failed to meet the intensity of a US Open Cup game that was played just about as perfectly as you could have hoped by USL side Sacramento Republic. What did Greg Vanney see on the night, and why are several players who may have just played themselves out of playing time down the stretch?

And what did the loss reveal about the Galaxy's summer needs? Will they be going for a Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)? And should you be worried about them finding the right piece?

Also, Josh and Christian will talk about the postponed Cali-Clasico and the likely reason the Galaxy aren't headed to a different stadium to play this weekend. And surprise... it's about MONEY.

We've got a packed show of reaction, analysis, and criticism of a team that doesn't have all the pieces they need and why they should be tired of waiting for other pieces to come around.

Let's get you more than 60 minutes of Galaxy-talk. It all starts right now on show no. 950!
