This week on the show we get in-depth and discuss the Sounders' big win over FC Dallas. Was it a great performance by the Sounders? A bad night from Dallas? Or something in between? The guys discuss Dallas' defensive mistakes and how Seattle took advantage and look back a month at when we were starting to wonder about Sigi's job security.

We spend a few minutes talking with Seattle Reign head coach Laura Harvey discussing the Reign's slow start and the status of Hope Solo and Megan Rapinoe. 

There's plenty of listener questions to answer and we also give away our first prize pack in the new Golazo Question of the Week.

Music: 2009 Seattle Sounders - "Seattle", Blues Traveler - "Go Outside & Drive", Phoenix - "Entertainment", Woody Guthrie - "Roll on Columbia:.

Plenty to discuss on this week's show as the Sounders earned to great wins against Sporting Kansas City and the San Jose Earthquakes. We break down the results, discuss Mario Martinez's positive impact in both games and generally gloat about the Sounders being back on track after a slow start.

We're also joined br Lamar Neagle (@LamarNeagle) and FC Dallas defender, and Seattle native, George John (@GdoubleJohn) to discuss their Federal Way connections and unsuccessfully attempt to get them to agree to a rap battle.

There are plenty of listener questions to answer and we introduce a new segment on the show, tentatively called "Question of the Week".

Absolutely packed show this week, so buckle in and enjoy the ride. We break down what went right, what went wrong and the ongoing frustration over player availability in the Seattle Sounders' 2-2 tie with the Philadelphia Union. That probably could have filled an hour-long show on its own.

But this is a crazy week and we'd hate to leave it there. We also welcomed Alliance Council president Paul Cox (@BlueEyedBuddha) onto the show to discuss the somewhat controversial decision to give all 750 tickets to the Cascadia Cup game in Portland to supporters. Cox gives some insight into the decision and why various attempts to find a compromise failed.

There are a couple games this week, too. To help us get a handle on the one against Sporting Kansas City, we invited Thad Bell (@TheBackpost) onto the show. He explains that the KC fans now view the Sounders as their biggest rival. Apparently, we've got a bit of a reputation.

As always, we also take your questions. Lots of and lots of your questions.

Coming off a win, it was a bit of a letdown to head into the bye week. Luckily, the good people at NW Peaks Brewery in Ballard were good enough to pour us some pints as we recorded our show this week. 

The news of the weeks was a bit slow, but Grant Wahl was kind of enough to share a rumor that we spent a good deal of time discussing. As you probably heard, Herculez Gomez is apparently interested in returning to MLS this summer and the Sounders are one of the teams interested in his services. Both Aaron and Jeremiah are a bit skeptical that this can actually come to fruition, but they discussed how it might happen and what it would mean if it did.

Being as there was no game to talk about, we did a rather long question session. Don't worry, most of them are Sounders or soccer related, but we of course squeeze in a few surreal ones as well. If you want to have your questions answered, follow us on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or shoot us an email (nosaudietis@gmail.com).

Finally we get to do a show following a victory. The Seattle Sounders didn't look their best against the Colorado Rapids, but they still managed to pull out a 1-0 victory. The highlight of the match was probably Obafemi Martins scoring his first goal, as well as the defense picking up its second straight shutout.

Dave Clark joins Jeremiah and Aaron on the show this week, and he provides his own insight on the game. Among the discussion points are the play of Martins, the growing position battle between Lamar Neagle and Steve Zakuani and the upcoming stretch of matches.

This week's guest is Michael Gspurning (@MGspurning). He talks quite a bit about the Sounders' start, but also sheds some light on his family life and we discuss Austrian actor Christoph Waltz with special attention being paid to his role in Inglorious Basterds.

As always, we also take your questions, in fact quite a lot of them. If you'd like to get your questions answered, give us a follow on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or send us an email (NosAudietis@gmail.com).

The sky is not falling, at least not yet. That's the conclusion we've come to after the Seattle Sounders put together a solid, but ultimately disappointing, performance against the New England Revolution. There were a lot of things to like, such as the general passing and the play of the central midfield.

Of course, good passing doesn't necessarily lead to goals and that's something the Sounders are sorely lacking. Through five league matches, they've found the back of the net just two times and that's a legitimate area for concern.

To help us assess the situation, we asked Sounders play-by-play voice Ross Fletcher to share some of his insights. As always, he's a font of knowledge. We also got his take on the effect NBC's coverage of the EPL will have on MLS.

Finally, we took your questions ... lots and lots of your questions. If you stick around until the end, you'll also learn some rather embarrassing stuff about what songs make the boys cry. Cringe-worthy indeed. 

The Sounders' pursuit of a CONCACAF Champions League title will have to wait until 2015, at the earliest. That's a rather bitter pill to swallow, and is not made much easier by the fact that the Sounders came within a goal of advancing to the final.

The silver lining of the elimination comes in the way the Sounders were eliminated. Not only did they play their best game of the season, but they stood toe-to-toe with Santos Laguna in Mexico.

Of course, that result only means as much what comes after it. The Sounders have alluded to the fact that this is a virtual "must-win" game and head coach Sigi Schmid went as far as playfully guaranteeing victory. While the hand seems to be off the panic-button for now, anything less than a victory on Saturday could change things dramatically.

Joining us on the show to discuss the game against the Revolution is Federal Way's Kelyn Rowe.

Although we didn't think we were going to be able to get to questions this week, we powered ahead and took some anyway. So go ahead and ignore Jeremiah saying otherwise at the start of the show.

We had hoped to have something more uplifting to talk about after waiting a few extra days to record. It didn't quite work out that way. While the result wasn't exactly a disaster (losing 1-0 at home at least gives the Sounders a puncher's chance), it was not the feel-good moment we had been hoping for.

Aaron and Jeremiah discuss the ramifications of that result and actually do find some reasons to be at least somewhat optimistic. The new formation moved showed some promise, Shalrie Joseph moved the ball effectively and the defense held up against one of the most explosive attacks in North America.

To help us get to the bottom of the Sounders' worst-ever league start, we enlisted the help of Seattle Times beat writer Josh Mayers (@joshuamayers). He helped explain what, exactly, went on after the Sounders' loss to Real Salt Lake and gave us some insight into what has ailed the Sounders so far.

Of course, no episode would be complete without taking your questions. We do plenty of that. If you'd like to get your questions answered, follow us on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or send us an email (NosAudietis@gmail.com).

Let's be honest, this week was a bit of a letdown. Almost literally as soon as he arrived, Obafemi Martins was gone. Eddie Johnson and Mario Martinez were away as well. Those three absences were especially felt in Saturday's loss to the San Jose Earthquakes.

That left the Sounders with an 0-2-1 record, which ties them for the worst start in franchise history. Time to freak out? Not nearly. The reality is that the Sounders were missing some significant talent and, really, it's early anyway. 

To take our mind off the result, we had Ryan Rosenblatt (@RyanRosenblatt) on the show to discuss Friday's United States World Cup qualifier. You may have heard that tere was some snow on the ground. Ryan was there and he tells us all about it. We also get his sense of how USMNT supporters are welcoming the idea of a match finally being played in Seattle.

Of course, no show would be complete without taking your questions. We answer many of those, as well. If you'd like to get your questions answered, follow us on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or send us an email (nosaudietis@gmail.com).  

We promised it would happen eventually and we came through: Sounders GM Adrian Hanauer joined us on the show this week. Through some technical difficulties, he shed some light on the acquisition of Obafemi Martins as well as a host of other subjects. We also tried to get to the root of what makes "House Hunters: International" so darn popular, as well as agreeing that the new host of "Property Virgins" doesn't quite do it for us.

Of course, we also spend plenty of time discussing this week's games against Tigres UANL and the Portland Timbers. As frustrating as the tie against the Timbers was, we hardly think it's time for panic. Aaron is a bit more worried than me, but we'll both take the trade off of making the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals.

Of course, no episode would be complete without taking your questions. If you want to get your questions answered, be sure to follow us on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or send us an email (nosaudietis@gmail.com).
