One question that continues to haunt the Club World Cup is “why does this exist?” One of the only people to really attempt to answer that question is Yahoo! Sports reporter Henry Bushnell. Jeremiah has him on the show to discuss that very issue as well as many other issues circling the next two summer’s tournaments. Follow Henry Bushnell on BlueSky…

1:02:51The Seattle Sounders turned easily their most disappointing performance of the season. What makes it sting even worse is that expectations were quite high for their game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were missing more than half their starters and were coming off a nearly team-wide bout of “gastrointestinal symptoms.” The Sounders responded b…

We are so close to the Sounders that sometimes it can be a little easy to take what we have for granted. That was probably the biggest takeaway from Charles Boehm’s stint as a guest co-host on this week’s show. Boehm, who has an upcoming feature about Ryan Kent on MLSSoccer.com, marveled at how effectively the Sounders have been able to maintain th…

FC Dallas comes to Seattle in the middle of a three-game road trip that seemingly puts them at a significant disadvantage, coming a few days after they went to New York and played 120 minutes a few days before they head to FC Cincinnati. To make matters worse, they’re also missing star midfielder Luciano Acosta. It all sets up quite nicely for the …
