Seattle Sounders Midseason Report Card + USMNT WORLD CUP Roster Reaction!
As MLS pauses for the World Cup, we'll give our takes on the weekend's loss to LAFC, then revisit the letter grades we handed out for the Seattle Sounders' strikers, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, and coaching staff a few weeks ago and update them. Who's improved, who's slipped, and have any of our assessments changed based on the challenging last few weeks? We'll also react to The Guardian leak confirming Cristian Roldan on the USMNT roster (cue the meltdown from the USMNT bots and haters) and run through Pochettino's full squad and debate whether this group actually has a shot to perform at the World Cup.

Best Win, Worst Loss: Seattle Sounders emerge TOOTHLESS vs. LA Galaxy
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?
