Listen now
Description
What do you do when you get to bed at 1:15AM on Monday morning after an exhausting LA Galaxy game? You do a special live version of Corner of the Galaxy: From the Box, of course! Our hosts, take your calls on the ugly tackle by LA Galaxy Midfielder Nigel De Jong. How much does his reputation play into it? How much does his past play into his punishment? How many games does Nigel De Jong deserve to be suspended? How do you view the LA Galaxy? Is it their fault? Just the simple question of is Nigel De Jong a dirty player? We try and talk this through reasonably and without a slant towards the team. This is about what actually happened and can we separate the emotion from it? This is an in-depth look at the Nigel De Jong tackle taking your calls and your concerns about the situation. It got so heated over the weekend that you had the LA Galaxy twitter account and the Portland Timbers account trading jabs. And with Nigel gone, the LA Galaxy now face the possibility of being severely shorthanded for their Friday match agains the Houston Dynamo. If it's not injuries, it's suspensions. You can read a full recap of the game here and you can catch a transcript of the Josh's interview with Nigel De Jong here. This show is about emotion and what it this sport does to us. It's a really good show and I'm glad you could join us!
