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.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORS☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Producer's Note: This episode ends with the crew's reaction to Atlético Madrid confirming that Johnny Cardoso suffered a high-grade ankle sprain.

Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola, and (eventually) Charlie Davies discuss Liga MX's dominance over MLS in the Concacaf Champions Cup following Nashville and LAFC's elimination from the competition. Staying in Mexico, the guys react to Javier Aguirre threatening to leave Liga MX players off his World Cup squad unless they report for a month-long national team camp. USMNT legend Clint Mathis joins to reflect on his 2002 World Cup heroics, almost joining Bayern Munich, and playing with a chip on his shoulder. And the crew reacts to breaking news out of Spain as Atletico Madrid confirm Johnny Cardoso has suffered a high-grade ankle sprain.

Nashville SC find themselves in new territory. They are top of the Eastern Confrence with Tigres waiting in the semi finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Clay, Valair, and Stephen review a historic week for NSC and preview the upcoming match vs. Charlotte FC. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Travis and Vince react to LAFC's humiliating 4–1 home loss to San Jose, calling it the team's worst performance of the season and a game LAFC largely lost through its own sloppy play. A second-half meltdown featured three goals conceded in six minutes off glaring defensive mistakes; missed chances in attack;and a lack of urgency and off-ball movement. Add poor finishing and decision-making from the front line and this one was brutal. RIP Hugo Lloris' clean-sheet streak. Wednesday's match vs Colorado is a chance to reset ahead of big CONCACAF Champions Cup games vs. Toluca.

This week's episode hits on all the big stories in American soccer. Thomas Pinzone from The Blazing Musket podcast sits in as co-host to help Jason cover the game from post to post. We start with Matt Crocker's sudden departure as sporting director from US Soccer. Did Crocker make any headway on the big problems facing the game in the US? How will we judge his tenure? Then Jason and Thomas discuss Javier Mascherano quitting on Inter Miami seven games into a title defense season. Was there drama behind the scences? MLS went two-and-two in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Mexican opposition. The guys get into the problems MLS faces in the CCC and the wide issues with a tournament that only two leagues can win. There's round-up of the US Open Cup action from this week with a special note for the cupsets sprung by lower division teams and some love for the SOCCER HERITAGE moments like the plethora of lines on the surface in Mount Vernon, NY for Westchester SC's match against NYCFC. Finally, Jason springs on Thomas the story of the Fernando Mendoza photo shoot that has an eerie similarity to a photo shoot featuring the 2002 USMNT. Photogs apparently can't say not to an athlete sipping from a water fountain.

The 7-2 final aggregate score doesn't flatter the Galaxy one bit, but is this once again a callout of Greg Vanney's coaching? The players not playing? The Galaxy being uncompetitive? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's loss to Toluca on Wednesday night. What didn't the guys like about the setup? What subs made more sense, and what does the injury to Eric Thommy mean to LA? Did getting Joseph Paintsil back make the rest of April a better proposition?

On this show, the duo reacts to Matt Crocker leaving U.S. Soccer for a leadership role with Saudi Arabia so soon before the World Cup. After, Stu and Mosse recap a WILD Champions League week that saw Bayern, PSG, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid advance to the semi-finals.

Back stateside, Nashville made history by becoming the first MLS side to win in the mighty Azteca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, knocking off Club America.

Is Kylian Mbappé the problem at Real Madrid? It's a question that would've sounded ridiculous a year ago—but now, with no major trophies since his arrival and his former club continuing to dominate in Europe, it's a conversation fans can't avoid. We also dive into whether Harry Kane has emerged as the unexpected Ballon d'Or favorite and break down our picks for who will actually win the Champions League as the semifinals approach. Then we're joined by Sophia Wilson for a wide-ranging conversation that goes beyond the pitch. She explains why she intentionally leaves soccer at the door when she gets home, how that mindset keeps her grounded, and how becoming a mother has reshaped her perspective as both a player and a person. We also talk about her competitive edge, her calm demeanor, and her new partnership with Mondelez, the makers of snacks like Chips Ahoy and Ritz. Fans can head to ScoreSnackGoals.com or scan the QR code on limited-edition CHIPS AHOY! products to enter. Finally, Kaylyn Kyle joins us in studio to break down one of the wildest weeks in MLS. From Javier Mascherano's unexpected departure from Inter Miami CF to Nashville SC's historic win over Club América at Estadio Azteca, we ask the big questions: Is Inter Miami the hardest coaching job in MLS? And could BJ Callaghan's stock be rising fast enough to put him back in the USMNT conversation—this time as the full-time head coach?   Timestamps: (12:00) – Is Kylian Mbappe the real problem at Real Madrid?

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola return with a deeper dive into the fallout from Matt Crocker's sudden exit as U.S. Soccer sporting director, moving beyond the breaking news to unpack what the role actually demands, why progress on youth development has stalled, and whether anyone can truly fix one of American soccer's most persistent problems (03:08). From there, the guys discuss the U.S. Open Cup's chaotic and cupset-filled Round of 32 (31:40), a historic night in Mexico as Nashville became the first MLS side to win at the Estadio Azteca, and whether LAFC are now the team to beat in the Concacaf Champions Cup (40:32). Plus, shockwaves in South Florida as Javier Mascherano exits Inter Miami - what's really going on behind the scenes (49:04)? where Americans take center stage in the Copa del Rey final: can Pellegrino Matarazzo lead Real Sociedad to glory, or will Johnny Cardoso's Atletico Madrid cap off an incredible week after booking their place in the Champions League semifinals (1:00:37)?

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The show starts with the breaking news that U.S. Soccer Sporting Director Matt Crocker is leaving his current post to move to work with the Saudi Arabian football federation. Alexi and Mosse break down the implications of this as we rapidly approach the World Cup before moving on to U.S. Abroad where Flo Balogun and Ricardo Pepi found the back of the net for Monaco and PSV. Weston McKennie was suspended due to yellow card accumulation and Christian Pulisic's scoring drought reached 16 games for club and country. Next, Alexi and Mosse preview the midweek quarterfinals in both the Champions League where Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking for 2nd leg turnarounds and the CONCACAF Champions Cup where LAFC is the only MLS side to take a lead into the 2nd leg.

And the heat may end up costing Greg Vanney his job. After the loss to Minnesota at home, the Galaxy now have to travel to Toluca, where they have to try and get back on track as a crazy April rears its ugly head. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Damian Calhoun discuss the Galaxy's loss to Minnesota, why Vanney didn't like his setup, and why there seems to be some pressure on focusing exclusively on the Concacaf Champions Cup matchups. But if you look at the schedule, can you find a place for the Galaxy to get a win? And why does Marco Reus find motivation in how much he hates to lose? It's a busy show with some levity.
