Lobbing Scorchers: The Great Seattle Fire Extinguished

It’s another Dub Pod as the Seattle Sounders emerged victorious over the Chicago Fire at Lumen Field in Matchday 23. We recap the latest come-from-behind result, which affected multiple agendas, and give our thoughts on Paul Rothrock’s omission from the starting XI.

Elsewhere in MLS, Atlanta United scored one of the craziest goals of the season, while the LA Galaxy and Philadelphia Union find themselves on differing trajectories. Finally, we check in on the US men’s national team’s Copa America campaign, which we regret to report is not going all that well following their group stage defeat to Panama.
