It's a big show. We've got a full hour of LA Galaxy talk with two excellent guests. LA Galaxy President Chris Klein and VP Brendan Hannan take time out of their busy schedules to talk LA Galaxy. Klein will key listeners in on what to expect from the rumored signings (which you can bet will be announced as soon as this podcast is released). He answers all the questions the show throws at him and even gets into your phone calls? Want to know more about the teams philosophy entering this season? Want to know about releasing Omar Gonzalez and Juninho? Chris is candid in his approach and is confident in leading the LA Galaxy to "push the envelope." What would Ashley Cole mean to this LA Galaxy team? The LA Galaxy have spoken to Ashley Cole as Klein will confirm. What about Van Damme? Again the question is not ignored (and again, I'm sure the LA Galaxy will announce this immediately as to make this show old immediately). Brendan Hannan has lead a re-birth of the LA Galaxy's social and digital media. He talks about the challenges of marketing to 19 million people in the greater Los Angeles Area. He also gives us some insight into Cozmo, LA's Mascot and why the tone that comes from the team is fun and engaging. He'll also talk about logos, new kits and a multitude of other fun items as we peek behind the curtain of the LA Galaxy's market offerings. It's a packed show and we really want to thank the LA Galaxy, Chris Klein, Brendan Hannan and working behind the scenes Chris Glidden and our in-studio photographer Steve Carillo. Without the professionalism of these people and the LA Galaxy organization this show wouldn't exist in it's current capacity. Thank you to all of our listeners and we'll do our best to bring you the best LA Galaxy entertainment in the world.

Welcome to today's episode of Soccer Morning with Jason Davis. Jason kicks off today's show taking listener calls on a Christmas Eve special.

'Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house not a kit-man was stirring, not even a mouse. The boots were hung by the locker with care, in hopes that Bruce Arena soon would be there. The players were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of MLS Cups danced in their heads. And Coach Dave in his sweater and Cozmo in his taco had just scarfed their dinner with a good friend named Nacho. When out on the pitch there arose such a clatter I was sure it was Geiger, his red card a tatter. Away to the bench I flew like a flash, tore off my training top into a 40 yard dash. The moon on the lines of newly striped grass gave the illusion of game night to supporters en masse. When, what to my wondering eyes should I see, But a larger than life Coach, he’s way smarter than me. With a little old gaffer so sarcastic and fine, I knew it was Arena and not Noonan nor Klein. More Rapids than Colorado his players they came and he whistled and shouted and cursed them by name: “Now Zardes! Now Gordo! Now, AJ and Leo! On Baggio! On Omar! On Rogers and Gio! To the top of the table! Setup the wall! Keano you’re offside?! You can’t make that call!” As dry mouths before halftime lie When they meet with a defense they run quickly by. So up to the goal mouth the passes they flew, With a counter attack and Coach Arena Too. And then in an announcement, I heard on the speaker the shout of a goal call, the voice it was deeper. “Thank you” he said and was turning around, “You’re welcome” we shouted, no scarf was found down. He was dressed in a suit from his head to his shoes LA Galaxy Colors, 5 stars he would choose. A bundle of balls he had flung on his back, And he yelled out his orders, he’d give you no slack. His rings-how they twinkled! His loafers, how merry! His gait was so Brooklyn, his hand gestures, cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, No beard on his chin, with hair like dirty snow. The stump of a cup he held tight in his hand, Though his constant berating of refs he did land. He had a broad face he wouldn’t blink when he stared at ya. Alone he would pace, inside his technical area. He was sarcastic and plump, a rich jolly old coach And I laughed when I saw him, all your players he’d poach. A wink of his eye and twist of his head Led me to believe if I joked I’d be dead. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, His wind-sprinting youngsters were staying alert. And laying a finger aside of his noes, And giving a shout, up the press box he rose. He sprang to his golf cart, to his team gave a whistle And away they all streaked like a self guided missile. But I heard him exclaim as he cursed out of site, LA Galaxy to all, and we’ve won it 5 times!
