    S7:E8: Who's Got Heart?

    Christian and Michelle discuss it all because everything is what is wrong with this team. The LA Galaxy’s quality of play and team morale are at an all-time low. After suffering a humiliating 7-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls— a historical low—the team squandered a two-goal lead against Philadelphia, conceding three unanswered goals despite early brilliance from Marco Reus. Now, with El Tráfico looming, Galaxy fans are left clinging to hope for a rivalry win. But another loss at home could break this squad completely. How much longer can we keep carrying water for Greg Vanney? Stay tuned!

    S7:E7: Shame Without a Shot

    The LA Galaxy just made the wrong kind of MLS history—losing 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City, a team that didn’t register a single shot. Michelle and Christian break down the misfortune of the own goal from Maya Yoshida, the lack of finishing despite dominating stats, Vanney’s lack of changes to his coaching style, and why the summer window offers little hope. Has the Galaxy officially hit rock bottom… or is there still a basement?
