Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans are back on the mic to break down a commanding performance from the Seattle Sounders in the opening round of this year's Leagues Cup. The Rave Green punched their ticket to the knockout rounds with a 2-1 win over Liga MX side Club Tijuana on Wednesday night — capping off a perfect group stage run with three wins from three and a flawless nine-point tally.Zak and Brad dive into the big-picture implications of these results: Has the gap between MLS and Liga MX finally closed? The duo debate that hot topic and also revisit Pedro de la Vega's jaw-dropping golazo against Cruz Azul — comparing where it ranks among the all-time great Sounders goals.Up next: Seattle shifts focus back to league play as they hit the road to face defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy this Sunday.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Welcome back to Memories From Toronto, a Holding The High Line Production. My name is Matt Pollard. On this episode of our 2010 MLS Cup interview series, I speak with the man who made this all happen, forward Macoumba Kandji. Mac and I discuss his emigration to the United States and soccer career that led him to Colorado Rapids. We talk about his relationship with Steve Guppy and that questionable PK at Columbus Crew. He got away with one there. We of course get his thoughts on his play to create the MLS Cup winning own goal, in which he tore his ACL going up against former Rapid Ugo Ihemelu. He gets real on how he's reconciled sacrificing his body and affecting his career to win a major trophy. This conversation hits different, you guys. Mac Kandji is built different and he says as much. You can listen to previous episodes of Memories From Toronto where we interview Marvell Wynne, Kosuke Kimura, Omar Cummings, Paul Bravo, Jeff Plush, and Drew Moor.

The road to the MLS Cup has been surprisingly navigable. However, it's time to swerve right and exit the MLS highway for a pit stop in the Leagues Cup. Last season, FC Cincinnati got further into the knockout round than the season before. As much as that momentum is positive, this reiteration of the Leagues Cup has a completely different format. To get tho the smaller knockout rounds, the Orange & Blue have to go through three Liga MX squads and hope they can do so without many hiccups. So what can we expect from C.F. Monterrey, FC Juarez, and Chivas Guadalajara? We invite Jaime from Cantina MX to give us the lowdown on Chivas and Eddie from Rayados90 to reintroduce us to the Vazquez-less version of Monterrey. Juarez? Well, we can at least try to narrow down what MLS team they would be. Can this new format please everyone? Are Columbus or Inter Miami able to dominate the competition again? Does Geoff sincerely think Cruz Azul could win it all?? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

However, the matchup against Inter Miami comes with a little extra motivation.Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast are Daniel and Kris from Battered Herons, and Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise. We talk about PSG's upcoming match against Inter Miami in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup and some of the drama swirling around the matchup.We begin with Daniel and Kris telling us about their podcast, and then jump into their initial thoughts after it was official that Inter Miami would face PSG. With a significant amount of prize money up for grabs to the winning squad, I ask whether that will be a strong motivator for the MLS team.Lionel Messi is obviously the biggest star for Inter Miami, but Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, and even their manager, Javier Mascherano, will be familiar to PSG fans not only because of their careers but also from the 6-1 defeat to FC Barcelona in 2017. I ask about other Inter Miami players who could make an impact against PSG.Of course, we discuss PSG fans wanting to win big against Messi after some of his statements about the club following his departure. We also discuss whether Messi has to deliver an MLS Cup this season.We wrap up the show talking about Messi's impact in Miami, and we give our predictions.Thank you for listening and subscribing.

The LA Galaxy was unable to add any W's to the win column, as they drew 3-3 in a back-and-forth contest against St. Louis City on Saturday, June 14. The Galaxy had opportunities to put this match away, but fell behind once again after sourning their chances. They fought back twice, and seemed destined for three points, when Joao Klauss thurndered home a volley in injury time to deny the Galaxy a second win on the season. With the Galaxy offense finally waking up with three goals and plenty of chance, what will it take to have the defensive end follow suit and put in the performances that took it to MLS Cup last year?

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Another disappointing night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Atlanta United, losing 1-0 to Philadelphia who go to the top spot in the Eastern Conference with the win. Personally, there were things I really liked about the shape change to play two central midfielders ahead of one holding midfielder and essentially two up top, although Miguel Almirón was essentially in a free role. However, it wasn't good enough on the night, the Union earned a deserved (although unlucky) penalty and converted to win 1-0. It doesn't get any easier for Atlanta United next weekend as they host the team level on points with Philadelphia in FC Cincinnati on Sunday night. Hot take alert, I'm a fan of the LA Galaxy announcing Greg Vanney's extension on Friday even though the team is still winless in regular season play in 2025. The negotiations started after Vanney won MLS Cup last December and were finalized recently. With the amount of injuries the Galaxy have tried to navigate this season, including to their 4 top attackers, a struggle was inevitable. A knee-jerk reaction to move on from Vanney after he rebuilt the club into a successful winning team would be the wrong move in my opinion. Crystal Palace earned their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup 1-0 over Manchester City. That will qualify them for the Europa League next year, their first time in a major European competition. Chelsea's women completed the domestic treble with their FA Cup win over Manchester United that saw USWNT members Catarina Macario score a goal and Naomi Girma marshal the backline to a clean sheet.Napoli and Inter both drew in Serie A yesterday, taking the title down to the wire. Their matches will be played on Friday with Napoli holding a one point advantage in the table. If they finish the night tied at the top of the standings, there will be a one-game playoff for the league title. PSV and Sporting won the Dutch and Portuguese top flight titles over the weekend respectively. Aberdeen defender Jack Mackenzie was hit by a plastic seat thrown by his own fans, intended for Dundee United fans celebrating on the field after their win that qualified them for Europe at the Dons' expense. He was bloodied and required treatment, the SPFL called the act "moronic". The great-great grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford has become the majority shareholder of Scottish 2nd division side Livingston. Calvin Ford saw his new team win in their promotion semifinal. They will play either Dundee FC or Ross County for an opportunity to earn promotion to the Scottish Premiership. On the Club World Cup front, reports out of Spain indicate that an unnamed Brazilian club has made a "tempting" offer to Cristiano Ronaldo to join them for the tournament. Al Nassr is not in the event and Ronaldo is out of contract on June 30. Al Nassr also missed out on trophies this season and won't be in the Asian Champions League Elite tournament next season. Real Madrid paid the release clause for Bournemouth's CB Dean Huijsen. They have secured their new manager Xabi Alonso for the tournament, are working to bring in Trent Alexander-Arnold for the event as well, and reports indicate they could execute the buyback clause on Como's Nico Paz in time for the tournament as well. They are still chasing a left back too. New ticket options are available at FIFA.com/tickets along with hospitality opportunities at FIFA.com/hospitality.More Espresso coming tomorrow on the SDH Network.
Cincinnati continues to collect points during this important stretch of the season and they are doing so with some spectacular goals by striker, Kevin Denkey.

Stugotz is in Australia on something he calls either Operation Boomerang, Operation Bloomin Onion, or Operation Boomerang Bloomin Onion. That leads Billy to make a reckless accusation about the population of Australia, and Dan exiles him to the outback to apologize to the entire country.
