Seattle is winless. This feels weird to say, but the Galaxy should win this game. So what do they have to do? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira want to talk about Riqui Puig's future and why his wanting to go to Europe is a green flag, not a red one. The guys will also review the Athletic's anonymous CSO survey and talk about how weird it is for the Galaxy to be so well thought of. Can the Galaxy back up all that goodwill? Finally, what will the Galaxy vs. Seattle game look like? Can the home team win its first game at home in 2024? The Galaxy have to prove it, and everyone is waiting to see! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 16, just a few shows past show no. 1,100!
