We did it, y'all! We made it to the end(?) of our Hunger Games deep dive with SUNRISE ON THE REAPING by Suzanne Collins (until the movie release, of course) and the gang is all here! How does one even summarize this book/episode? It was so much more traumatic than I think any of us were expecting, but what a journey. We talk major lore, complex character arcs, trauma, recontextualizing the Hunger Games universe, unending despair, potential movie adaptation choices, more trauma, how President Snow can catch these hands, and yet more despair! Whew. Honestly, we're still not over it. REMINDER: Obvious spoilers for the entire Hunger Games universe, including speculation about the forthcoming movie adaptation of SUNRISE ON THE REAPING. If you haven't read this series yet -- babe, what are you even doing here??

The last two games this past week were not what we had hoped for.

In what ended up being a goal fest with Sac Republic and Louisville trading leading scores at one point, ultimately resulted in us losing the game at the last minute, 4-3. With that also our streak of not losing away since last year ended and we now return to play at home vs last place El Paso.

After being out for about two months, Russell returned with Sac Republic only to score a goal within 15 minutes of being subbed in! (And scoring it in his home state of Michigan too!)

Why was it unusual? Because we tied 0-0 and state fair games have typically been much better than what we witnessed last Saturday. The SOTR team talks about the game and interviews Sac Republic Academy player, Ezekiel "Zeke" Padilla, who most of you might remember played in a few games last season with Republic. They also talk about our upcoming opponent Oakland Roots, Cal Storm winning 8-0, and more!

Just like during last year's Open Cup elimination, Republic in true Indomitable spirit, played a game that could've easily been a tie that would have taken it to extra time.

Although we played at home, Las Vegas felt like a local too (hottest game this season!) and ended up winning 1-0 for the first time at Heart Health Park. As tough as it is for us to talk about a Sac Republic loss like this, we talk about the game and what went wrong. The SOTR team also talks about our upcoming opponent, Seattle Sounders, in the Open Cup next Tuesday! While it'll be a tough match and we're not coming off a great form, we're still hopeful that we manage to get a win (and be wrong with our predictions!!)

Last Saturday we were able to obtain a win at home for the first time in June in a game that could be best described with the following: "Moo" , "Cat-like reflex saves", "Final minutes goal".

We once again get a win in the USL after getting a 2-0 away win at Monterey Bay, which marks the 2nd consecutive game in which we beat them 2-0 (last one being in Open Cup). Although the match stream had its issues, our SOTR team member Sharon, went to the game and talks to us about what it was like. Thankfully the highlights were available so the SOTR team talks about the goals, Danny's amazing saves, Jack's unnecessary red card, and more!
