Jeremiah and Niko discuss a relatively quiet week in terms of Sounders news, but do dig into the revelation that Yeimar Gomez Andrade will be out until after the World Cup. They explain that's more about the emergence of other options at center back and the flexibility that gives the Sounders to bring him back slowly. They also preview the upcoming game against San Diego FC and try to better understand their early-season struggles.

Aaron joins Jeremiah to talk about how the Sounders missed a golden opportunity and that was more frustrating than any of the individual performances they saw in that match against Kansas City. In the second and final segment they air world cup grievances and talk about how they feel they should be a lot more excited about what feels like a once-in-lifetime event as a host city.
