The Seattle Sounders lost 3-1 to Inter Miami, a game they played on two days' rest and required a cross-country road trip. The result was pretty predictable, if we're being honest. But what Jeremiah and Aaron point out is the degree to which it's a problem is mostly a result of dropping points on Saturday.That sets up a final five-game stretch in which the Sounders have virtually no margin for error if they want to secure home-field advantage through the first round of the playoffs.Sponsor

Cristian Roldan has been mostly an afterthought when it comes to the United States national team, even when he was one of the final players to make the 2022 World Cup roster. But after being a late addition to the most recent camp and helping the USA beat Japan 2-0, it looks like he might be solidifying his spot.Jeremiah and Charlie Boehm discuss Roldan's place in the USMNT and more broadly what the situation looks like about 10 months from the 20w6 World Cup. They also discuss the Sounders' position as they head into the final stretch of the 2025 regular season.Follow Charles Boehm on BlueSky and read him on MLSsoccer.com.Sponsor

Diego Valeri, as much as it pains us to say, is one of the greatest players in MLS history. Now, he's generally considered one of the most insightful commentators on MLS Season Pass. Not only has he called dozens of Inter Miami games over the years, but he also has experience playing in front of packed houses at Lumen Field.We figured there were few people better to share some insights into Sunday's Leagues Cup final than Valeri.Sponsor

Inter Miami may be led by Leo Messi and the “Barca Boys”, but given the level of competition the Sounders have faced this year there's no reason they should be intimidated. The Sounders have been playing as well as anyone in North America over the past couple of months and will be at home.To discuss the game, Jeremiah and Niko are joined by Sounder at Heart's Tim Foss for this week's episode of What We Learned This Week.Follow Niko Moreno on BlueSky and YouTube.

Of all the former assistant Sounders coaches, few have a place in fans' hearts and minds as Gonzalo Pineda. After playing here for two years, Pineda joined the coaching staff in 2017 and was Brian Schmetzer's top assistant until he was hired as Atlanta United's head coach midway through 2021.Pineda's teams were never quite as successful as they seemed like the “should” be but they always played expansive soccer and actually posted a positive xGD in all three of the seasons where he was mostly in charge.Niko and Jeremiah spent an hour talking with Gonzo about his philosophy, his thoughts on the Sounders and what he hopes to do next.Sponsor

Ravi kicks off the show with the latest update in the Epstein scandal — a resurfaced birthday letter allegedly sent from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. He unpacks the implications of Trump's denial, the GOP's strategic calls to "release the list," and what's really at stake in the fight over grand jury testimony. From there, he turns to Trump's latest attacks on Obama, FEMA, and the U.S. dollar, connecting the dots between the President's social media meltdowns, a hollowed-out disaster response agency, and the economic fallout of chaotic trade policy. Carter Sherman then joins the show to talk about her new book, The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, which explores Gen Z's shifting attitudes toward sex, porn, dating apps, and sexual education. Ravi and Carter discuss how digital culture, incel ideologies, and the collapse of comprehensive sex ed are shaping the next generation's understanding of intimacy and power. -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 321-200-0570⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F
