Aaron joins Jermiah to recap a toothless, uninspiring loss to LA Galaxy over the weekend. A lot of frustration with the missed opportunities and what looked like tired bodies. In the second segment the two talk about the upcoming LAFC who also have been struggling.

Moose lost his tooth, the rest of the Orca Boys followed suit and LAFC preview

On this episode, we break down the emotional rollercoaster that is the Seattle Sounders, from the season’s best win straight into the worst loss, the end of the home undefeated streak, and a worrying stretch of form that was only partially salvaged by the Earthquakes win. We talk Moose’s tooth, then dive into some obligatory striker discourse, including a discussion on whether Seattle’s investment in Jordan Morris was justified, and what Craig Waibel’s response might be if asked about urgency at the striker position. Then, we widen out to the Western Conference, debate which team is clearly superior to Seattle, and preview LAFC as the next opponent: what’s the vibe going into that matchup at BMO Stadium and how should Seattle approach it?

What We Learned This Week: The Heritage Cup came home, MLS salaries dropped, and Galaxy match preview

Once again, every MLS club is out of Conacaf Champions Cup, which means the 2022 Seattle Sounders remain the ONLY MLS team to ever win the modern version of the tournament. What did that Sounders team have that the rest of MLS still hasn’t replicated? We dive into the roster construction, mentality, depth, experience and timing that helped Seattle break through where every other club has fallen short. Then we shift into the ongoing No. 9 discourse surrounding the Sounders attack, including the current striker platoon of Jordan Morris, Osaze De Rosario and Danny Musovski. Is there a real answer on this roster? We wrap up by digging through the MLS salary guide to identify the biggest bargains, best values, and biggest over- and under-performers on Seattle’s roster relative to their contracts.
