One of our favorite announcer teams on the MLS Season Pass lineup is Max Bretos and Brian Dunseth. We’ve had Dunseth on the show a couple of times, but with the Sounders gearing up for LAFC we thought it would be good to have Bretos on for the first time ever. 

Bretos is one of the longest tenured announcers in MLS, first starting out on Fox Soccer Channel before moving to ESPN and then eventually to MLS Season Pass. In addition to calling games, he also does work with LAFC. We figured he’d be a great person to provide some insight into the Sounders’ next opponent.

If you’d like to hear more from Max, check out his podcast “The Soccer OG [https://www.youtube.com/user/cubanhammer].” 

Note: This episode is being made available early to paid subscribers. 

Nos Audietis: Previewing LAFC with Max Bretos

With a pretty big lull in the schedule, Jeremiah and Aaron are doing their monthly mailbag. Among the questions they tackle: Who should have played more? Who should the Sounders move on from? What positions should Sounders prioritize for upgrade? How will the Sounders finally beat LAFC?

Nos Audietis Mailbag: What’s this offseason look like?

Mailbag: Who deserved more playing time?

With Noah out of commission for the week, Ari wins yet another battle for technology and lays down the Solo Dub Pod coming off the Seattle Sounders’ Round One Best-of-3 Series victory over the Houston Dynamo. As always, he hits our Agenda Check and takes your questions, before reacting to a wild slate of results from the start of the playoffs, including a highly comedic defeat for our friends the Columbus Crew.

Houston DyNoMore - Ep. 73

Lobbing Scorchers: Houston DyNoMore

No, it wasn’t pretty, but in times like this it’s important to celebrate good things. By beating the Houston Dynamo, the Sounders have qualified for the the Western Conference semifinals for the 14th time in 16 seasons. It’s the seventh most in MLS history, and the only teams who have done it more had 13-season head starts. Jeremiah and Aaron give them their due.

Nos Audietis: Something worth celebrating

Something worth celebrating

The Reign finished out the 2024 season with a 3-2 loss away at Orlando. Jordyn Huitema finally broke the curse and scored her first NWSL goal since June 9th. Maddie Mercado played super sub and tallied her first ever NWSL regular season goal, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Shield winners. We reflect on the game as well as the season at large for the Reign, and look ahead to a hopefully brighter future for the team next season.

Later in the episode we cover other results from around the league over the weekend and make our picks for the first round playoff matches.

It's fine, it's cool, it's over - Ep. 22

That was not exactly the performance we were hoping to get from the Sounders, but to act as though winning the game is anything short of a positive is rather silly. Jeremiah and Aaron break it all down and look ahead to what Game 2 might look like.
