After a scheduled induced break, Nos Audietis returns to discuss Monday night's fiasco as the Seattle Sounders were thoroughly beaten by the LA Galaxy at CenturyLink Field. We talk about the match, attempting to figure out what went wrong, and look ahead to what this means for the rest of the season.

There's also a quick MLS Wrap to discuss the current standings and the Philadelphia Union's love of goalkeepers. Plus we answer listener questions.

Another edition of Nos Audietis is here as we're get to bask in the glow of a second straight win over the Portland Timbers. We break down Sunday's win, and generally just enjoy the tears of our rivals from the south.

We're also joined by Sounders GM and minority owners Adrian Hanauer for a discussion on a variety of topics including the state of the team, the potential transfer of DeAndre Yedlin, and more. There's also the MLS Wrap, and plenty of listener questions to answers as well.

We're back with a shorter edition of Nos Audietis because we simply couldn't resist talking about the Sounders win over Portland in the US Open Cup. We break down the nearly demoralizing, but ultimately oh so satisfying result from Starfire, and spend some time discussing the rather insane comments by Timbers head coach Caleb Porter after the match. Is Porter just trying to deflect attention away from Diego Chara's red card, or is he becoming an "excuses" coach?

There's also listener questions to be answered as well.

We break down the Sounders win over San Jose in the US Open Cup and look ahead to the next round against the Portland Timbers. We also spend some time discussing the US Men's National Team advancing to the Round of 16, and various World Cup stories including Luis Suárez.

The Sounders entered the World Cup break with a 3-2 win over the Chicago Fire, in a rather messy game that featured Obafemi Martins seeing red. We discuss the match, and talk about the rather poor officiating performance from Chris Penso.

We're joined by SB Nation's Matt Ufford to talk World Cup from a perspective of somehow outside the "soccer bubble". There's also an MLS Wrap, and plenty of listener questions to answer.

The Sounders got a big 4-0 win over Real Salt Lake, that saw the offense click, the defense play well, and everyone had a good 'ol time. We discuss the performance, praise the glory that is Obafemi Martins, and generally just enjoy handing RSL a butt kicking.

We break down all the MLS results from the weekend, including the wild Cascadia Cup match between Vancouver and Portland. There's also a couple USMNT pre-World Cup qualifiers to talk about, and yet another win for the Seattle Reign. There's also plenty of listener questions to answer.
