After nothing but mostly good vibes since the beginning of May, SKC lose at home to LAFC and #thediscourse was not good. SKC was very unlucky to lose this match in a variety of areas(refs, fluke plays, chances going just barely awry, etc), but in the moment it was easy to look for someone to blame. Drew and Cody assess the performance in this match, and consider whether the hole SKC has dug itself allows for these types of results if they want to legitimately contend for the playoffs and MLS Cup.

Alan Pulido was in the news again this week with a variety of transfer rumors to the usual suspects in Liga MX. We discuss the veracity of these reports along with what conditions in which it makes sense for SKC to entertain them, or perhaps re-sign him in the off-season.

The USMNT played with swagger and took down the Nations League crown for the 2nd time this weekend after beating a hapless Mexico team and confounding John Herdman and Canada in the final. Things are looking very bright for this team nevermind the avatar mafia losing their respective minds over the Gregg Berhalter re-hiring.

Tactical corner focuses on the purpose of fullbacks, and whether SKC has the right players covering that position.

Finally, a quick preview of the upcoming matches vs LA Galaxy and Chicago.
