A lot has happened over the last week and it wasn't all fun. To get to everything, we decided to do our monthly mailbag episode and sort of clear the notebook, so to speak. We talk about the loss to LAFC, the inactive summer transfer window as well as look ahead to what the Sounders need to do to remain an elite MLS team.

In our constant effort to right-size our offerings, we’ve decided to start doing monthly mailbag episodes. This is the first of those episodes. Among the topics we tackle are expectations for the summer transfer window, explore the usefulness of G+ and try to explain why there were so few MLS-era players at the 50th Anniversary celebration.

LAFC is near the tail end of a brutal stretch in which they'll play 16 matches in about two months and 22 matches in about three months. To get a better sense of how that has taken its toll we talked to LAFC podcaster Travis Helwig.

In addition to hosting Happy Foot Sad Foot, he's also a member of the currently striking Writer's Guild. We talked to him about that and how to support them. He suggested donating to the Entertainment Community Fund which supports other parts of the industry.

Give the Sounders this: At least they made it entertaining. The Sounders finally broke out of their scoring doldrums by putting three past Charlotte FC, including a brace from Raul Ruidiaz and another from Cristian Roldan in both of their first starts in about two months. The only problem? The Sounders also gave up three goals, albeit all pretty well taken.

Each of Charlotte’s goals erased a Sounders lead, meaning the Sounders blew more leads in this game than they had in their previous 17 combined (it had only happened once).

In the second half of the show, we discussed Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris' USMNT call-up, suggest holding the Leagues Cup concurrently with the Gold Cup in future seasons and give our outlook for the second half of the season.

Obed Vargas is back from the U20 World Cup and to get a better idea of how he did and what kind of impression he made, we asked Adam Belz the Scuffed podcast to give us some insight. Scuffed, for those of you don't know, is one of the top US Soccer podcasts and they are fully listener supported. 

There's also a second-half to this interview where we talk about Jordan Morris and Cristian Roldan's place in the national team and some of the broader issues surrounding the program. To listen to the full episode, you'll need to become a paid subscriber to our Substack.

This is a pretty short one but we do touch on Albert Rusnák's potential move to the No. 10, Obed Vargas' performance at the U20s and how happy we were to see LAFC lose in the CCL final.
