It's all going to be OK, right? The Sounders untimely exit from the CCL and associated personnel issues give us a great opportunity to talk with Niko Moreno @ELROLONW about the scouting situation, and get his perspective on the bright spots you might have missed in the first few matches of the season. We take apart the Guadalajara match, wallow in our misery with the FC Dallas debacle, and celebrate an outstanding @SoundersFC2 debut. Not much on Swope, given it was basically a trial exhibition... or at least that's what we're telling ourselves.
