In studio, we welcome @ELROLONW Niko Moreno, writer for @sounderatheart and personality on @DEPORTETOTALUSA. He gives us his journalistic insight into the loss at RSL Away (where championships seem oh so far away). We also chat briefly about the Fresno-S2 match, and speculate on whether the FO is OK dropping the US Open Cup this year. (Spoiler, turns out they are.)

Then we move firmly into Niko's wheelhouse with roster construction and scouting. Then *tons* of listener questions and bantzzzz.
