The Seattle Sounders' run in the Club World Cup has come to an end, which is a perfect time to take stock of what we made of it. Jeremiah and Aaron discuss the high points and the low points. They came away feeling a bit more excited about next summer's World Cup, with a sense that the gap between Europe and the rest of the world is a bit smaller than we previously thought and believing that the Sounders' have a roster that should be able to compete going forward.Sponsor

Send us a textWhat happens when a professional sports executive takes off the GM hat and steps into his most important role as a father? Craig Waibel, General Manager of the Seattle Sounders FC, brings us behind the scenes of his parenting journey with refreshing honesty and hard-earned wisdom.Waibel, a former MLS player with four championship titles, shares a powerful framework for raising children that focuses on authenticity over achievement. "When it stops being fun, we're done," he explains about his daughter's volleyball journey, highlighting his commitment to nurturing joy ahead of competitive success. This philosophy might surprise some, coming from someone who's thrived at the highest levels of professional sports.The conversation reveals intimate moments of parental growth—from learning to step back when his teenage daughter needs space to process challenges, to allowing her to see his vulnerabilities. Waibel recounts transformative lessons from his own upbringing, including when his parents confronted his self-deprecating humor with the firm directive: "That's not how we treat ourselves." These formative experiences shaped his approach to both leadership and fatherhood.Particularly moving is Waibel's emphasis on integrity and communication. The open dialogue he's cultivated with his 15-year-old daughter didn't happen by accident but through years of intentional parenting. He describes the gratitude he feels when she shares her experiences and emotions freely—a connection many parents struggle to maintain during the teenage years.Whether you're raising future athletes, managing a team, or simply trying to become a better leader at home, Waibel's insights transcend sports. His perspective on removing fear to unlock potential applies equally to parenting and professional settings. How might your relationships transform if you approached them with more humility, vulnerability, and genuine curiosity?Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

The Seattle Sounders turned easily their most disappointing performance of the season. What makes it sting even worse is that expectations were quite high for their game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were missing more than half their starters and were coming off a nearly team-wide bout of “gastrointestinal symptoms.” The Sounders responded by looking flat and almost uninterested at times.Jeremiah and Aaron dig into that performance before power-ranking the five teams they each think have the best shots at winning the Club World Cup.Sponsors

And here we are, looking the Club World Cup square in the face. And trembling like a jackhammer being held by a puppy. After the week that was, can anyone, seriously, believe there is a point to be had for the Seattle Sounders during this upcoming tournament? Or has it all been a ploy to lull the competition into a false sense of security and the Sounders will be the Cinderella story of the summer?

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, Northern Super League, and national team chat and interviews. What a week it's been in Whitecapsland. Eventful doesn't even do it justice, as the team returned from a heavy cup final loss only to be hit by gastrointestinal illness that left Sunday's derby game with Seattle Sounders in doubt. In the end it was played and despite everything the 'Caps came away with a stunning 3-0 win over their Cascadian rivals. We look back at the match, the build up, and the fallout. Turning our attention to the national teams, we look back at Canada's win over Ukraine in the Canadian Shield as they prepare for the Gold Cup, the Canadian women's U20s qualifying for the World Cup, and our feature interview is with the Vancouverite and Vancouver Rise player who scored her first goal for the senior team this week, Holly Ward. We chat with Holly about her fantastic year to date for both club and country and what's to come.

Seattle is gearing up to host some big events this summer – from music festivals to early World Cup matches. The Sounders will host their first FIFA Club World Cup match on Sunday June 15 at Lumen Field. June is also Pride Month, with all kinds of LQBTQ+-focused celebrations planned throughout the city. It’s a time when law enforcement agencies are tasked with keeping people safe, and respecting free expression. And that balance has gotten extra difficult in recent weeks here in Seattle, after duelling protests by queer demonstrators and their allies and fundamentalist Christian groups. So we wanted to invite the Seattle Police Department, and the city of Seattle on to talk about how they’re approaching public safety this summer. And a note: this conversation was recorded on Friday, prior to this weekend’s protests in Los Angeles, and the mobilization of the National Guard. Guests: Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes Seattle Chief Public Safety Officer Natalie Walton-Anderson Related stories: Cal Anderson protest: No charges (yet), Parks says nope to August, FBI threat, and ‘mostly silent’ vigil planned outside Seattle church - Capitol Hill Seattle Blog 8 more arrests at dueling protests, this time at Seattle City Hall - Seattle Times 14 indicted on charges of drug trafficking in Chinatown International District - Seattle Times Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

On this week's episode of the Sounders FC Pod-Cast, host Steve Zakuani recaps what could be shaping up to be a nine-point week for the Seattle Sounders. First, a solid win over FC Dallas last weekend, followed by a grind-it-out victory over San Diego FC on Wednesday, which saw Jesus Ferreira open his scoring bank account for the first time in a Rave Green jersey. The schedule doesn't get easier: Steve looks ahead to a tough home matchup against third-place Minnesota United (kickoff 3pm on Sunday at Lumen Field) before the Sounders hit the road to face Western Conference table-leading Vancouver Whitecaps on June 8th.And keep tuning in from there, as Steve is joined by our Change Champions representative, Elvin Bucu, Senior Director of Development from Foundation for Tacoma Students to learn more about the great work him and his team do for the community. 

The Seattle Sounders are coming off a massive win over San Diego FC which sets up a pretty enticing stretch to send them into the Club World Cup break. If the Sounders can win their next two games, they'll take over first place in the Western Conference. Jeremiah and Niko discuss the San Diego game and look ahead to Minnesota and Vancovuer on the latest “What we learned this week.”Sponsor

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at the Club World Cup, set to kick off just a couple of weeks after the European season ends. The tournament has divided fans and pundits alike, with some seeing it as a bizarre power play from FIFA to try and rival the riches of the Champions League, whilst others feel that it's an opportunity to spread the game's wealth on a more even keel globally. We examine the history of the tournament and where the concept originated from, before taking a look at how it matters differently to different areas of the globe - in some place, it's a real badge of honour; whilst in others, it's treated as a second-class trophy. Perhaps more importantly, there's a deep dive into the finances of the tournament and how it's going to work, as well as some thoughts on if we should really be adding more football into an already oversaturated calendar - whilst the concept of the CWC is a good one, generally; is there actually a real need for this given the amount of football players are already going through? So, is this global benevolence or a cash grab from the Federation? Are the big teams going to send shadow sides or are the megastars going to give it all they have? And to whom does this all matter most? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle... And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
