It's probably not healthy, but Jeremiah and Aaron are full back on the Sounders' bandwagon for at least another week. And even if this ends in tears, at least we had a wonderful moment against Houston.

Sure, it was only a half of inspired soccer AND it didn't even get us a win, but it was enough for Aaron and Jeremiah to be bullish on the rest of the regular season.

The Seattle Sounders are stuck in a bit of a rut right now, not necessarily playing badly but definitely not playing well. They're losing a lot of one-goal games these days and that's making it a little harder to have a strong opinion. We talked it through.

Since last we met -- all of two weeks ago -- the Sounders' season has taken a rather frustrating turn. They are now winless and scoreless in three straight and suddenly the playoffs don't seem quite as assured as they once were. We're pretty sure the difference mostly comes down to health but that is not itself a complete answer. We give our thoughts.

Overall, the Sounders had a pretty good week. But they ended it with a loss in a perfectly winnable road game. That's not a disaster but it does continue a trend of not playing well for sustained periods.

Hopefully you listen to this before Wednesday's game. And barring that, we sure hope the Sounders advance because most of what we discuss is predicated on that possibility. We think the semi against NYCFC is one of the biggest non-finals in team history and that's only become bigger now that we know the Sounders will host the second leg of the final if they advance. Get pumped y'all. This week's music: Perry Como - "Seattle", "RVIVR - "Ocean Song", Woody Guthrie - "Roll On Columbia", "Your Journ...

Richard Farley suddenly has a lot of free time so he and Jeremiah decided to record a podcast about something they were discussing on Twitter. Effectively they argue that the fortunes of the USMNT are largely divorced from the long arc of American soccer at large. It's an interesting discussion that goes in several directions. We're also really curious what you think of it. Do you want more stuff like this?

We don't get a ton of chances to do interviews on this show these days but we randomly ended up with one last week when we got the chance to talk to Jordan Morris. He was promoting a camp he does through a sponsorship with Dexcom, the company that makes his blood-sugar monitor. Morris talked about the joy he gets from doing soccer camps like that, his injury recovery and how long he thinks it will be until he's playing again.

Somewhat remarkably, the Sounders still find themselves coming out of the Gold Cup break undefeated through 13 games. They’re sitting atop the Supporters’ Shield standings with 29 points and have easily the best goal-difference at +15. More remarkable than all of that is they’ve managed this while missing as many as six potential starters for solid chunks of the season. Their latest win over the Houston Dynamo came without Nicolas Lodeiro, Stefan Frei, Nouhou, Shane O’Neill, Cristian Roldan and ...

We return to you almost a month after our last recording in much the same place we left you. The Sounders are still riding a best-ever start to the season, still undefeated and still leading the Supporters’ Shield race. They’ve also not yet conceded a goal from open play, a streak that now stands at 900 minutes which is the longest MLS has on record. The latest win was in some ways their most comprehensive. Although the scoreline was a relatively close 2-1, the Sounders finally put together two ...

They’re leading hte Supporters’ Shield by three points and have a four-point advantage in the Western Conference. The Sounders have, of course, done this without Jordan Morris, while only getting 24 minutes in total from Nicolas Lodeiro and their two most recent results have come without Stefan Frei.
