There’s no midweek game but the Seattle Sounders certainly gave us plenty to talk about as the star striker and the left back each got (effectively) suspended for this weekend’s match against the Chicago Fire. We break down all the drama in the aftermath of Saturday’s win over FC Dallas and what it all means going forward.

Elsewhere in MLS, we also had a coach firing and some major injury news come out for FC Cincinnati. We round it by regretfully reporting that the USMNT bots unfortunately found themselves in a less than pleased state due to some reports linking Weston McKennie to MLS.
