    Could the 4-2-3-1 be here to stay?

    · Nos Audietis

    It was another busy week around the Sounders with a U.S. Open Cup match and a signing. Jeremiah and Niko dig into another episode of “What we learned this week” that focuses a lot on the development of younger players who appeared in the Tacoma Defiance match against the Portland Timbers. 

    Somewhat connected to the Defiance match was a second consecutive match where we saw the 4-2-3-1. They discuss what kind of tactical tweaks that could bring.

    They also give a scouting report of the Houston Dynamo.

    Yes, the Sounders might actually be good

    The vibes are starting to feel pretty good around these parts after the Sounders dominated St. Louis City and the Tacoma Defiance gave the Portland Timbers everything they could handle in the U.S. Open Cup. Jeremiah and Aaron break down what has fueled the Sounders’ turnaround.

  • The Defiance have a chance to do the funniest thing


    The Defiance have a chance to do the funniest thing…

    · Nos Audietis

    Due to the silliness surrounding MLS teams’ participation in the U.S. Open Cup, the Tacoma Defiance have taken the Sounders’ place in the tournament. They’ve won their first three games and have now earned the opportunity to become the first MLS Next Pro affiliate to face a MLS first team in actual competition. Even more silly, that team is the Portland Timbers.

    To help us understand the Timbers’ approach to this game, we reached out to Tyson Alger, who runs the Substack I-5 Corridor, which covers mostlyl the Oregon Ducks and the Timbers. He thinks the Timbers will likely field a relatively veteran-heavy team.

    We also discuss the evolution of Merritt Paulson, who Alger notes has decreased his public presence but that “the poster inside never dies.”

  • An oral history of the Red Card Wedding (revisited)

    An oral history of the Red Card Wedding (revisited)

    · Nos Audietis

    It was almost exactly 10 years ago that the Portland Timbers visited Starfire Stadium for what would ultimately be known as the Red Card Wedding. With the Timbers returning to Starfire on Tuesday, now seems like a good time to re-release this episode that was first recorded in 2017.

    Back then, Jeremiah teamed up with former SB Nation colleague Richard Farley and Soccer Made in PDX’s Chris Rifer to record and produce this episode. It features such notable voices as Brad Evans, Lamar Neagle, Andy Rose, Ross Fletcher, Caleb Porter, Jack Jewsbury and Nat Borchers as well as Jeff Hosking, who was an assistant ref in the game.

    For the uninitiated, this was among the more surreal games in Sounders history. It most famous featured Clint Dempsey getting ejected and literally ripping up the referee’s notebook, but it also featured two other red cards (which combined with Obafemi Martins’ injury forced the Sounders to finish the game with seven players).

    Even before that, the match was shaping up as a classic with two heated rivals trading blows in a match that went to overtime. You’ll definitely want to give it a listen.

  • Reasons to think Sounders can weather Jordan Morris' absence

    Reasons to think Sounders can weather Jordan Morris' absence

    · Nos Audietis

    Niko and Jeremiah are back together for another installment of “What we learned this week” and they’re mostly focused on how the Sounders will cope with Jordan Morris likely being out at least six weeks. There’s no sugar-coating that the injury diagnosis was bad, but there is reason to think that it won’t be a season-killer. 

    First and foremost, both of them like the way Danny Musovski has been playing and how he projects going forward. They also like what they’re hearing about Osaze De Rosario, the Tacoma Defiance striker who is off to a blazing start this year.

    Of course, they also find time to give Stefan Frei his flowers for hitting 400 appearances with the Sounders and give a scouting report on Saturday’s opponent, St. Louis City.

  • Is Danny Musovski the real deal?

    Is Danny Musovski the real deal?

    · Nos Audietis

    The Sounders are coming off a 1-1 tie with the Colorado Rapids. That leaves them with a 3-3-4 record and sitting eighth in the West. Jeremiah and Mark give some of their big picture assessments of the season up to this point. One big point of discussion is the play of Danny Musovski, who has now scored in three straight games and seems to be doing it in repeatable fashion.

    From all appearances, it looks like the Seattle Sounders are going to run back the same lineup they used last week despite the availability of several would-be starters. On “What we learned this week” Jeremiah and Niko Moreno discuss whether or not that’s the right call. They also give a brief preview of the upcoming game against the Colorado Rapids.

    Matt Doyle joins Jeremiah on another episode of “How the West will be won.” The first topic they discuss is the news that Peter Vermes has been fired as head coach for Sporting KC, something that was probably long overdue. But the real problem isn’t so much Vermes, as an ownership that allowed Vermes to have more control than he was capable of managing. 

    They also discuss the rise of San Diego FC and look ahead to Saturday’s match against the Sounders, dig into the success of Vancouver Whitecaps, are a little skeptical of Austin FC’s start and admit that the LA Galaxy could be in serious trouble.
