Sounder at Heart

After an ideal start to Concacaf Champions Cup, the Seattle Sounders couldn’t quite turn a couple Jordan Morris goals into a win in their season-opening 2-2 draw vs. Charlotte FC. Should you be more encouraged by another solid attacking effort, or more tilted about that highly unfortunate own goal? We debate that as part of our game review, hit our Agenda Check, and check the pulse of the streets.

Later on, we dig into a fun Matchday 1 slate in MLS that gave us a couple of surprise results, as well as a highly comedic showing from the Portland Timbers that delivered us our first Blazing Hot Coach Press Conference of the Week of 2025 (sponsored by Haxan Ferments).
