Well that was one of the more frustrating matches of the season and it wasn't (technically) a loss. The Seattle Sounders showed their usual prowess in possession vs Portland but they continue to have difficulty with the final blow. 16 shots, 6 on target and yet our single goal came from a set piece that found Yeimar's head (his first!). Rusnák provided the assist (not his first) while Jordan continues to struggle at being a #9.

The Seattle Sounders have been one of the hottest teams in MLS for weeks and that trend continued when they dominated the Vancouver Whitecaps thanks to a 3 goals to 1 exchange rate. Sounders then stay on the road and produced another clean sheet against the Colorado Rapids scoring 1 goal USD at altitude. Now, they aim to keep their momentum as they face the Portland Timbers in the final regular season match of 2025.

Aaron, Cameron & Nicholaus discuss:

• Miami's missing supporters group accepts the shield.
• Obed gets called up!
• Cameron is allergic to grass. Also, Pub League.
• The case of the missing Léo Chú.
• Sounders fans... why the long face STILL?
• Recap Whitecaps and Rapids wrap-up.
• Buzz saw the Timbers! NO EXCUSE.

Sounders win 1-0 over visiting Houston in a key match as the Sounders target at least the 3rd seed in the West. With these 3 points they leap frog over Houston to the 5th seed while also getting some distance from Vancouver in who drew PDX 1-1 and now sit in 7th & 9th respectively.

Aaron is on assignment but don't worry he still edited the show. Nicholaus Biela joins Cameron for this one which means more there is more than enough of quality Sounders content packed in. Aaron cut out as many pop culture references as he could and yet that still left this at 2 hours.

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if the Sounders dominated Pumas? No, not in the 2022 Champions League Final. Right now! In the Leagues Cup!

The boys also talk best Sounders under 22, who should be starting at LB, and more!!

We're off to a good start! Sounders score two and give away nothing to the Loons in the first of two group stage matches in this year's Leagues Cup. Rothrock sparks production in a very similar fashion with the help of Jordan Morris (see June 15) . Andrew Thomas also put on a very solid performance in goal. Aaron and Cameron cover

• Lewis Hamilton of course.
• Fan Fest at Longacres
• Annual Business Meeting but more importantly Cameron
• Season Ticket prices jump up.
• Clear MVP frontrunner [Rothrock] does it again.

The Seattle Sounders 8 match win streak gets pooped on just before the break by an LAFC 3-0 loss. It's hard to characterize who or what this team is at the moment. The path that this season is taking has been an unexpected and unrecognizable one.

It's been good season

It's been bad season

It's been a mad season

It's July, and as we all know, it is time to let the good times roll. Sounders have taken 13 points out of a possible 15 in MLS play and have advanced to the US Open Cup Semifinals for the first time in a decade. Can this run of form continue?
