The Sounders are lighting up the pitch and hosts Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans along with Keely Dunning have lots of thoughts following a big win vs LAFC (1:37).  They then discuss the versatility of this current Sounders roster (5:12) and why it's been such a big part of the squad's success so far. On the flip side, is this the last year in LAFC's championship window with their current team (7:47)? Then, time to turn the page with a preview of Atlanta United and a comparison between ATL and SEA as "model" expansion franchises (10:44). And, speaking of expansion franchises, Steve asks the million dollar question: are the Sounders still the bright, shiny franchise in MLS (20:23). Sounders defender Shane O'Neill joins the pod (21:59) and discusses the fast start (23:31), playing in a 3-CB system (26:26), how his time playing for Orlando has prepared him to play in a 3-5-2 (31:09) and finally whether he remains an eligible bachelor in Seattle (33:55). Our hosts close the pod with quick predictions vs ATL (35:07) and another round of Over/Under (36:39).
