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.

Welcome to today's episode of Soccer Morning on Backheel. Today's show kicks off with Brian Sciaretta (American Soccer Now) to discuss US U23 Olympic qualifying & the United States' upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Guatemala

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.
