Kickoff: Is this rock bottom?

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 21:02:16 GMT

The Seattle Sounders’ nightmare skid continued with a 2-0 home loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps, raising an increasingly unavoidable question: Is this rock bottom? We dive into it all on this deeply cursed episode regarding the squad's worst performance yet, the continuing injury crisis, an attack that has completely stalled out and where the responsibility lies for a collapse that has now reached seven straight league defeats.

BREAKING: Pedro De La Vega OUT for Remainder of 2026 Season

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 21:53:09 GMT

Seattle Sounders young star and designated player Pedro De La Vega's season is most likely over. During a press conference today Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer revealed De La Vega has a very significant left quad pull that may require surgery. Brian Schmetzer told media, "Pedro has a very significant left quad pull. He is probably out for the remainder of the year. They’re talking about maybe a surgery maybe not, they’re going to a second opinion and a third opinion [from] the best doctors in the United States plus another doctor from Argentina. We are looking to cover all of our bases with this injury, but it is pretty significant."

Kickoff: Are the Seattle Sounders FINALLY turning it around?

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 18:19:25 GMT

The Seattle Sounders' seven-match losing streak is mercifully over after their 3-0 win over Querétaro, so it’s time for another round of Cope or Hope where we'll assess what this result means for Seattle’s 2026 chances. We unpack whether Alex Roldán can be a true double-pivot solution, whether Albert Rusnák’s goal signals a return to form, and if Danny Musovski’s breakthrough proves he can rediscover last season’s production. We also assess Sebastián Gómez’s first senior strike and whether it earns him more minutes, and whether Paul Rothrock can shoulder an even bigger creative load with Pedro De La Vega unfortunately sidelined once again.

Plus: reactions to Leagues Cup Phase One and what the competition’s early results mean for team momentum heading into the season.

This One Position Broke the Seattle Sounders

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 05:14:07 GMT

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe try to make sense of a Seattle Sounders team riding a seven game losing streak and looking overmatched in almost every phase. The rumors of signing a young striker have Ari and Noah asking the question: does any of it actually matter until the No. 6 situation is fixed?

The crew round out the show by assessing if the Seattle Sounders have enough urgency when it comes to making roster fixes. As we watch Cascadia rivals Vancouver Whitecaps reportedly targeting Dániel Gazdag and the Portland Timbers signing David Da Costa, are the Seattle Sounders being left in the dust?

Kickoff: What We Got Wrong About the 2026 Sounders

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 22:22:10 GMT

Six straight losses have forced us to reevaluate a lot of our preseason and early-season takes. It’s only fair to look back and ask where our assumptions missed the mark. This isn't about apologizing for old takes, it’s about learning what this stretch has taught us about the roster and what we might’ve missed.

Can the Seattle Sounders Stop the Spiral?

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 18:51:02 GMT

The Seattle Sounders’ nightmare run continued with a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia, marking a fifth straight defeat in MLS play as the club continues to reel since returning from the FIFA World Cup break. As we navigate our way through these trying times, it's time for an edition of “Cope or Hope” where we discuss every potential path back to contention - from the returns of Cristian Roldan, Yéimar and Pedro de la Vega to whether Seattle’s struggling No. 9 committee can still get the job done. Then, we preview a daunting trip to Providence Park, just weeks after Portland handed Seattle a humiliating 5-1 defeat. Can the Sounders stop the spiral, or will the Timbers deliver another devastating blow?

Kickoff: Processing a HISTORIC Seattle Sounders Catastrophe

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 19:15:13 GMT

The Seattle Sounders are coming off arguably the worst performance in club history, and for an occasion this unprecedented, we’re devoting the entire show to processing the fallout. After entering the World Cup break at 7-3-3, Seattle returned to a 5-1 annihilation by the Portland Timbers in front of more than 35,000 fans at Lumen Field. On this episode we'll break down every angle of the historic collapse. Was it an inexplicable outlier or an x-ray of deeper problems? How much responsibility belongs to Brian Schmetzer and Craig Waibel, and what does the result say about Seattle’s roster construction, ownership spending and veteran leadership? We’ll also examine Jordan Morris’ complicated DP situation, the decision to send Snyder Brunell and Paul Rothrock to face the media, and where the Sounders go from here.

Kickoff: Flo Balogun is BACK?! | USMNT-Belgium World Cup Matchday Arrives in Seattle!

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 20:40:41 GMT

It's World Cup matchday in Seattle, and we're laying down one last preview ahead of Monday's Round of 16 showdown vs. Belgium, which might just be the biggest match in modern US Soccer history. We'll react to the massive news that Folarin Balogun will be available for the match following FIFA's ruling on the controversial red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina, then dive into why reactions from around the world have suddenly made the USMNT one of the tournament's most polarizing teams. Later on, we'll react to some of the other most notable results from the knockout stage so far, including Lionel Messi and Argentina getting pushed to the brink by Cape Verde, Erling Haaland and Norway taking down mighty Brazil and more.

USMNT return to Seattle for Biggest World Cup Match EVER

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 21:52:49 GMT

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe get ready for the biggest match Seattle has hosted at this World Cup so far: the USMNT returning to Lumen Field for a Round of 16 rematch with Belgium and a place in the quarterfinals on the line. But how much does losing Folarin Balogun to a non-appealable red card suspension actually hurt the American attack? And is Belgium the beatable opponent everyone is making them out to be after nearly dropping their group stage match to Senegal? Lobbing Scorchers digs into the state of the USMNT attack heading into Belgium. Can Malik Tillman, Christian Pulisic and company carry the load without Balogun leading the line? Should the US roll with Ricardo Pepi or Haji Wright as the replacement striker? And are fans and pundits fairly reassessing Belgium, or are we overcorrecting because the USMNT finally showed it could handle some adversity against Bosnia? Ari and Noah round out the show with a Yellow Card or Red Card game reviewing the tournament's most questionable moments so far, including Iran's ongoing World Cup issues, cooling breaks, New York hosting the final, the USA Country Roads goal celebration, pitch invaders holding crypto gambling ads, and the new automated offsides system. Plus Canada grinding out a late winner over South Africa, Messi chasing records that could make this the greatest individual World Cup run ever, Paraguay stunning Germany on penalties in maybe the funniest result of the tournament, and predictions on the favorites and dark horses left in the field.

Seattle is proving FIFA made the right call

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 23:26:59 GMT

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe break down the first week of the 2026 World Cup with the group stage opening round officially in the books. Egyptian supporters took over Seattle for Belgium and Egypt, downtown fan zones were buzzing without the USMNT even playing in town yet, and Seattle looks every bit the part FIFA hoped it would be. Has the Emerald City already made the case for an even bigger role in future FIFA events?

Lobbing Scorchers digs into the USMNT stock after a 4-1 demolition of Paraguay, with Folarin Balogun emerging as a Golden Boot candidate and Gio Reyna finding his form. But how much should expectations actually change after just one game, and could Australia, with Mohamed Touré and Nestory Irankunda, be a tougher test than anyone is giving them credit for?

The boys share their favorite World Cup moments so far: Cape Verde keeper Vozinha goes from 50,000 Instagram followers to 10.9 million after the Spain draw, Messi drops a hat trick on Algeria, Haaland and Mbappe both bag braces, and FC Dallas striker Petar Musa scores for Croatia in a 4-2 loss to a sharp looking England side.

Seattle Mayor Tells All Ahead of FIFA World Cup

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 22:00:24 GMT

Noah Riffe of Lobbing Scorchers interviews Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Seattle, Washington. The Interview comes on the heels of Wilson and the administration announcing 1400 free World Cup tickets for youth across the city of Seattle. The pair talk about the ways Seattle has changed for the massive soccer tournament including pedestrianizing streets, heightened security, increased transit and more. Wilson also addresses right wing controversy with a comment made about the Washington State Millionaires Tax. Wilson and Riffe close the show by discussing the recently passed Sound Transit ST3 update and the Seattle Social Housing Developer.

Kickoff: Seattle Sounders Midseason Report Card + USMNT WORLD CUP Roster Reaction!

Wed, 27 May 2026 01:09:40 GMT

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.

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

Mon, 18 May 2026 18:37:18 GMT

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?

Are the Seattle Sounders wasting money?!

Fri, 15 May 2026 17:01:37 GMT

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.

Seattle Sounders Lineup Puzzle Just Got Harder

Mon, 11 May 2026 22:42:24 GMT

We'll kick off with a full breakdown of another 1-1 draw for the Seattle Sounders and why the result felt like two points dropped after the Sporting KC stalemate. Then, we shift into the ongoing discourse: who should lead the Sounders' attack? Was Danny Musovski’s goal against San Diego enough to earn him a run in the starting role? We also address the emerging left-back issue after Nouhou appeared to take a knock late in the match, who might need to step in, and how that change could affect the lineup. Later on, we preview a daunting midweek matchup with the high-flying, league-leading San Jose Earthquakes and outline adjustments Seattle must make to survive a side in excellent form. Finally, we scan MLS Matchday 12, highlight LAFC’s surprising collapse to Houston, and consider whether Concacaf Champions Cup fatigue is a league-wide factor.

Sounders-San Diego FC Breakdown & Inter Miami's Historic Choke!

Mon, 04 May 2026 17:05:44 GMT

We check in after Seattle’s surprising 1-1 draw at Sporting KC and discuss if we should be worried about the offense or chalk this one up as an outlier amid an otherwise strong start. Then it's time to preview Seattle's upcoming showdown with San Diego FC at Lumen Field this Saturday. We'll see if we can figure out why SDFC have regressed from last year’s historic expansion form, and why Anders Dreyer still makes them dangerous. Later on, we'll dive into some league-wide results reaction from Matchday 11, including the fallout from Inter Miami blowing a 3-0 lead to Orlando City, which many are calling one of the biggest chokes/greatest comebacks in MLS history. Are they in freefall in South Florida, or can Lionel Messi & Co. right the ship?

FIFA's decision will DESTROY the game

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 20:52:03 GMT

In this episode, we break down the biggest threats standing between the Seattle Sounders and a 2026 Supporters’ Shield run. Who should we be most worried about, and can Seattle stay in the mix? We also dive into a key lineup question ahead of this Saturday’s matchup vs. FC Dallas: Could Jesús Ferreira slot into the No. 10 role if Albert Rusnák is sidelined with injury? What would that mean for the attack? Then, we dive into our discussion about the oligarch class continuing to price gouge every possible facet of the World Cup, including concerns over rising ticket prices and lack of transportation support and outlandish costs for fans.

In this week’s Agenda Check, Ari shares some trade regret regarding Georgi Minoungou. We had another frustrating VAR controversy in MLS – what needs to change? Does Stuart Hawkins deserves a bigger role moving forward? We close it out by talking about the “Save the Caps” movement and how supporters can push back against the potential oligarch relocation of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Did Brian Schmetzer Get it Wrong in Mexico?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:19:23 GMT

Lobbing Scorchers’, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe regroup after a tough Leg 1 of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal. The Seattle Sounders sit in a 2-0 aggregate hole against Tigres UANL after failing to score at El Volcán. Can the Rave Green flip the script at Lumen Field, or is this year’s CCC campaign headed for an unceremonious end?

Lobbing Scorchers questions Jesus Ferreira’s omission from the Sounders FC starting XI, and if Brian Schmetzer got the subs wrong in Mexico, and if Seattle fans should be concerned about the attack as a whole.

This week's Agenda Check: Should Seattle Sounders fans want MLS Cup or Concacaf Champions Cup? Has Jesus Ferreira proven he should be the starting No. 10? Is it time for the Seattle Sounders to sign a left back in the summer window?

Ari and Noah round out the show with the top headlines around Major League Soccer. James Rodríguez suffers severe dehydration amid a weird tenure with Minnesota United. Portland Timbers head coach Phil Neville questions a reporter on the security of his job. 34-year-old Neymar linked with FC Cincinnati after a brutal start to the 2026 season.

The injury-ravaged Seattle Sounders couldn’t quite get on track in Matchday 5 as they played a snoozer in Saturday’s scoreless draw vs. Nico Lodeiro and the Houston Dynamo. Was this a case of falling back into the cycle of early-season 2024? We discuss that in our game review, then hit our Agenda Check, which included some less than positive coverage of the US men’s national Fraud Squad.

After an ideal start to Concacaf Champions Cup, the Seattle Sounders couldn’t quite turn a couple Jordan Morris goals into a win in their season-opening 2-2 draw vs. Charlotte FC.

We debate that as part of our game review, hit our Agenda Check, and check the pulse of the streets.
