About this episode

Kevin Baxter discusses the current state of LAFC, LA Galaxy, and Angel City in the 2026 soccer season.

Longtime LA Times soccer writer Kevin Baxter chimes in on the persistent criticism of Marc Dos Santos after a historically strong start to LAFC’s season, Greg Vanney’s job security in light of LA Galaxy’s lackluster form in early 2026, whether Angel City under Alex Straus has gone from being “a mess” and “less of a mess” to being the real deal, and lots more. As always, we also cover all things Empire Strykers and Orange County SC.
