It’s been almost a week since the LA Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup, completing one of the most impressive turnarounds the league has ever seen. Taylor sits down with one of the architects of LA’s resurgence: Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz. And because fans are the lifeblood of this league, Offside has a special report from the heart of the LA and New York supporter sections during the final, featuring two die-hard fans. Plus, Taylor looks to 2025 by speaking with San Diego FC coach Mikey Varas ahead of the club’s inaugural season.

The script for this year’s MLS Cup serves up a gripping story, as founding clubs clash against each other in the final for the first time. On one side, the LA Galaxy, a former dynasty who fell on hard times, aim to regain their crown for an astonishing sixth time. On the other, the gutsy, gritty New York Red Bulls, who have been here since the beginning, try to make it to the mountaintop for the first time.

In this episode, Taylor breaks down everything you need to know about the MLS Cup Final with fellow MLS Season Pass colleagues Diego Valeri and Sacha Kljestan. Plus, they check back in on how their preseason predictions held up.

The MLS Cup Playoffs have always had upsets. But if this year feels extra chaotic, it’s not just you.

So today, Taylor sits down with two of the managers behind some of this year’s post-season mayhem. First, Brian Schmetzer of the Seattle Sounders, who just knocked off the West’s #1 seed LAFC. Then, Sandro Schwarz of the New York Red Bulls, fresh off his team’s win over crosstown rivals, New York City and not far removed from their sweep of the reigning champions , Columbus.

Plus, the Offside crew visited that first-ever playoff edition of the Hudson River Derby to hear from fans on the ground.
