Josh Atencio, American Hero - Ep. 50

Lobbing Scorchers

It’s a US Open Cup dub pod as the Seattle Sounders topped Sacramento Republic FC 2-1 to advance to the semifinals. What would a run to the USOC final mean for Seattle after years of not living up to their dominant early years in this tournament?

Later on, we discuss Seattle’s reported links to a Croatian winger, have a nice laugh at the Cupset that befell Atlanta United and discuss the most important question of all: Who would Ari be rooting for in a theoretical Open Cup match between the Sounders and his beloved New Mexico United?
