In this episode, we'll discuss the Seattle Sounders' big win over FC Dallas in Matchday 10, then preview this weekend's trip to Children’s Mercy Park to face Sporting Kansas City aka the “Club of Professional Enthusiasts” who happen to be the actual worst team in Major League Soccer at the moment. We'll take a look at the Wrestling Enthusiasts' roster and see if we can figure out why they're so bad. How do you approach a match against bad opposition without getting complacent? Can the Seattle Sounders Road Show keep their attacking form rolling in KC? Later on we'll jump around the league and discuss some of the other results and headlines from around MLS.

In this episode, we break down the biggest threats standing between the Seattle Sounders and a 2026 Supporters’ Shield run. Who should we be most worried about, and can Seattle stay in the mix? We also dive into a key lineup question ahead of this Saturday’s matchup vs. FC Dallas: Could Jesús Ferreira slot into the No. 10 role if Albert Rusnák is sidelined with injury? What would that mean for the attack? Then, we dive into our discussion about the oligarch class continuing to price gouge every possible facet of the World Cup, including concerns over rising ticket prices and lack of transportation support and outlandish costs for fans. In this week’s Agenda Check, Ari shares some trade regret regarding Georgi Minoungou. We had another frustrating VAR controversy in MLS – what needs to change? Does Stuart Hawkins deserves a bigger role moving forward? We close it out by talking about the “Save the Caps” movement and how supporters can push back against the potential oligarch relocation of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

A massive week awaits the Seattle Sounders, as the Rave Green welcome mighty Tigres UANL to Lumen Field to close out the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. Facing a 2-0 aggregate deficit after Leg 1, can Seattle celebrate their long-awaited homecoming with a comeback and keep their CCC title dreams alive? And will Jesus Ferreira be in the starting XI for the series finale after his surprising omission in the first leg? We'll break out the lineup builder and project exactly how we think Brian Schmetzer will line it up on Wednesday. Later on, we'll discuss Georgi Minoungou's big debut with the Colorado Rapids, which saw him log an assist in the same match where former Sounders homegrown Josh Atencio also found the scoresheet.

Lobbing Scorchers’, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe regroup after a tough Leg 1 of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal. The Seattle Sounders sit in a 2-0 aggregate hole against Tigres UANL after failing to score at El Volcán. Can the Rave Green flip the script at Lumen Field, or is this year’s CCC campaign headed for an unceremonious end? Lobbing Scorchers questions Jesus Ferreira’s omission from the Sounders FC starting XI, and if Brian Schmetzer got the subs wrong in Mexico, and if Seattle fans should be concerned about the attack as a whole. This week's Agenda Check: Should Seattle Sounders fans want MLS Cup or Concacaf Champions Cup? Has Jesus Ferreira proven he should be the starting No. 10? Is it time for the Seattle Sounders to sign a left back in the summer window? Ari and Noah round out the show with the top headlines around Major League Soccer. James Rodríguez suffers severe dehydration amid a weird tenure with Minnesota United. Portland Timbers head coach Phil Neville questions a reporter on the security of his job. 34-year-old Neymar linked with FC Cincinnati after a brutal start to the 2026 season.

The Seattle Sounders have traded midfielder Georgi Minoungou to the Colorado Rapids. In this video, we break down the full details of the deal — including the GAM and players involved — what Minoungou brought to Seattle, what this means for the Sounders roster going forward, and why Colorado made this move.Georgi Minoungou came up through Tacoma Defiance and developed into one of the most exciting dribblers in MLS. The 23-year-old Burkina Faso international tallied 2 goals and 4 assists across 32 appearances for Seattle in 2025, won the Leagues Cup, and earned 9 caps for Les Étalons — including a goal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
