FC Dallas comes to Seattle in the middle of a three-game road trip that seemingly puts them at a significant disadvantage, coming a few days after they went to New York and played 120 minutes a few days before they head to FC Cincinnati. To make matters worse, they’re also missing star midfielder Luciano Acosta. It all sets up quite nicely for the Sounders in general and Jesús Ferreira in particul...

Coming off a three-game road trip in which the Sounders got four points, Jeremiah and Aaron express mostly satisfaction with the overall play even if they weren’t entirely happy with the results. But one player who is harder to figure out is Jesús Ferreira, who seems to be doing a lot of things right but not performing how we thought we would. Jeremiah and Aaron try to project how he might do the...

The Sounders are coming off a disappointing 4-0 loss to LAFC, but that doesn’t mean Jeremiah or Niko are particularly worried about the longterm ramifications. They discuss the takeaways from that match as well as look ahead to Saturday’s Cascadia Cup clash with the Portland Timbers on the latest episode of “What we learned this week.” Sponsor 🍷 Full Pull Wines : Love wine but not wine clubs?

The Seattle Sounders are moving up the Western Conference table and to help give us a better sense of how they stack up, we brought back Matt Doyle for another episode of “How the West will be won.” Matt continues to be very impressed by the play of the Vancouver Whitecaps and far less impressed by the play of the Portland Timbers as he and Jeremiah dig into the other Western Conference contenders...

It was another busy week around the Sounders with a U.S. Open Cup match and a signing. Jeremiah and Niko dig into another episode of “What we learned this week” that focuses a lot on the development of younger players who appeared in the Tacoma Defiance match against the Portland Timbers.  Somewhat connected to the Defiance match was a second consecutive match where we saw the 4-2-3-1. They d...

The vibes are starting to feel pretty good around these parts after the Sounders dominated St. Louis City and the Tacoma Defiance gave the Portland Timbers everything they could handle in the U.S. Open Cup. Jeremiah and Aaron break down what has fueled the Sounders’ turnaround. Sponsor 🍷 Full Pull Wines : Love wine but not wine clubs? Check out the boutique wine seller who lets you browse their s...

Due to the silliness surrounding MLS teams’ participation in the U.S. Open Cup, the Tacoma Defiance have taken the Sounders’ place in the tournament. They’ve won their first three games and have now earned the opportunity to become the first MLS Next Pro affiliate to face a MLS first team in actual competition. Even more silly, that team is the Portland Timbers. To help us understand the Timbers’...

It was almost exactly 10 years ago that the Portland Timbers visited Starfire Stadium for what would ultimately be known as the Red Card Wedding. With the Timbers returning to Starfire on Tuesday, now seems like a good time to re-release this episode that was first recorded in 2017. Back then, Jeremiah teamed up with former SB Nation colleague Richard Farley and Soccer Made in PDX’s Chris Rifer to...

Niko and Jeremiah are back together for another installment of “What we learned this week” and they’re mostly focused on how the Sounders will cope with Jordan Morris likely being out at least six weeks. There’s no sugar-coating that the injury diagnosis was bad, but there is reason to think that it won’t be a season-killer.  First and foremost, both of them like the way Danny Musovski has be...

The Sounders are coming off a 1-1 tie with the Colorado Rapids. That leaves them with a 3-3-4 record and sitting eighth in the West. Jeremiah and Mark give some of their big picture assessments of the season up to this point. One big point of discussion is the play of Danny Musovski, who has now scored in three straight games and seems to be doing it in repeatable fashion. Tom Biro’s GoFundMe . Sp...

A week after vibes seemed to be moving in a positive direction, the Seattle Sounders had a much more business-focused week of training. Jeremiah is joined by Niko Moreno for another episode of “What we learned this week” to discuss some of the findings. Perhaps the most notable development of the week is that Pedro de la Vega and Jordan Morris appear poised to be back in the starting lineup. 💪Bod...

To help pick up the pieces from the Sounders’ 3-0 loss to San Diego FC, Mark Kastner joins the show with Jeremiah. They point out that San Diego’s press wasn’t nearly as effective as the pundits seemed to think, but also acknowledge that the Sounders aren’t doing nearly enough to create scoring chances.  In this week’s power rankings, they assess blame for the slow start.

Matt Doyle joins Jeremiah on another episode of “How the West will be won.” The first topic they discuss is the news that Peter Vermes has been fired as head coach for Sporting KC, something that was probably long overdue. But the real problem isn’t so much Vermes, as an ownership that allowed Vermes to have more control than he was capable of managing.  They also discuss the rise of San Dieg...

It was a pretty interesting week in the world of the Seattle Sounders. On “What we learned this week w/Niko” Jeremiah and Niko Moreno discuss what appears to be the imminent signing of English winger Ryan Kent and the ramifications that may have on the roster.

Jeremiah and Aaron field questions ranging from a potential change to two strikers, how the Sounders might use their U22 roster spots, what’s going on with Cody Baker, how well the Sounders managed their fixture congestion and what they think of rumored signing Ryan Kent. *** Nos Audietis is the flagship podcast for Sounder at Heart, which became a reader-supported website on Aug. 21.
