Podcasts about Sounder

Obed Vargas joins Jeremiah to talk about his whirlwind soccer year so far. Obed discusses his rapid fire transition from Major League Soccer preseason with the Sounders directly into training with Atletico Madrid. He also details his experience playing for and representing Mexico at this year's World Cup, what it is like to adjust to a lifestyle in Spain and what objectives he seeks for his playing future.Sponsor

The Seattle Sounders are coming off arguably the worst performance in club history, and for an occasion this unprecedented, we're devoting the entire show to processing the fallout. After entering the World Cup break at 7-3-3, Seattle returned to a 5-1 annihilation by the Portland Timbers in front of more than 35,000 fans at Lumen Field. On this episode we'll break down every angle of the historic collapse. Was it an inexplicable outlier or an x-ray of deeper problems? How much responsibility belongs to Brian Schmetzer and Craig Waibel, and what does the result say about Seattle's roster construction, ownership spending and veteran leadership? We'll also examine Jordan Morris' complicated DP situation, the decision to send Snyder Brunell and Paul Rothrock to face the media, and where the Sounders go from here.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe get ready for the biggest match Seattle has hosted at this World Cup so far: the USMNT returning to Lumen Field for a Round of 16 rematch with Belgium and a place in the quarterfinals on the line. But how much does losing Folarin Balogun to a non-appealable red card suspension actually hurt the American attack? And is Belgium the beatable opponent everyone is making them out to be after nearly dropping their group stage match to Senegal? Lobbing Scorchers digs into the state of the USMNT attack heading into Belgium. Can Malik Tillman, Christian Pulisic and company carry the load without Balogun leading the line? Should the US roll with Ricardo Pepi or Haji Wright as the replacement striker? And are fans and pundits fairly reassessing Belgium, or are we overcorrecting because the USMNT finally showed it could handle some adversity against Bosnia? Ari and Noah round out the show with a Yellow Card or Red Card game reviewing the tournament's most questionable moments so far, including Iran's ongoing World Cup issues, cooling breaks, New York hosting the final, the USA Country Roads goal celebration, pitch invaders holding crypto gambling ads, and the new automated offsides system. Plus Canada grinding out a late winner over South Africa, Messi chasing records that could make this the greatest individual World Cup run ever, Paraguay stunning Germany on penalties in maybe the funniest result of the tournament, and predictions on the favorites and dark horses left in the field.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.
