Tim, Steve, and Nate chat about the week that was. 1-0 is a completely reasonable result at home against Chivas de Guadalajara. We discuss the game, preview the next match in Guadalajara, and accidentally talk about the acceptable loss against LAFC in the home opener. You win some, you lose some, and we are ready for next week!

We also talk with Raney, Kurt & Anthony, friends from Dallas who have perspectives on how FCD is shaping up for the year and try to explain some lousy opening form.

Then we talk about our home watching habits for away matches and go through the new offerings available to see our boys whether we're cord cutters or classic cable box subscribers.

In today's show we cover a lot of ground -- The 4-0 (5-2 Aggregate) Sounders win against Santa Tecla leading to the disappointing but understandable 0-1 opening loss vs. LAFC. We look forward to hosting Chivas de Guadalajara. Casey Catherwood discusses S2 developments & player personalities (also some family safety tips). Dave Montgomery of the Sounders Community Trust breaks down the new "veterans" on the USL side in a deep roster analysis.

We're back on the eve of the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 match against Santa Tecla in the beautiful Emerald City, and the Sounders season opener on Sunday.

We unpack the disappointing 2-1 first-leg result, roster changes and critical hits (JOMO SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!) and preview the LAFC season opener with Jerry from the Heart of LAFC Podcast. We also give away two prizes from our Stefan Frei visit!

The season is coming... we're almost there... less than a month until Santa Tecla Away...  hnnngggg.....

We got a couple of badasses over here, Jerry (with a Star!) & Miki Turner of Sounders Twitterati fame, and we get deep into SOCKS to open up, feeding to uniforms, recent Sounders Superdraft and other acquisitions, impending changes, Arsenal rumors (spoiler alert! It's nothing!!!) as well as an autopsy, and general news and bantz.

After a little more booze, Frei opens up about his passion for art, the Delta airlines "tifo" kerfuffle, activation, and LIGHTNING ROUND with Cat! #WrinkleWednesday makes its audio debut! Who's the best, who's the worst? What players keep him up at night, and whose lunch does he eat? What's up with #24? Lots of locker room antics, and basically just a great fun half of the show!

What a show! Our first episode of the 2018 season is the first half of our in-studio interview with Stefan Frei! We talk about his time at the Sounders, how Montreal's misery prepared him to help the Sounders defeat them a little on down the line, and the importance of teamwork. He tells stories about his soccer upbringing, and share entirely too much whiskey.

Look forward to part 2 of our Stefan Frei episode over the weekend! As always, thank you for listening to the Flounders B-Team podcast!

In our last show for 2017, Cat, Kevin, Steve, & Tim do a deep autopsy on tactics & troubleshooting for the MLS cup final. We talk Expansion Draft, Ozzie's Protection Racket, the upcoming CCL draw, light S2Tacoma chatter, and ad hoc karaoke.

We join the Flounders B-Team Away Squad on the return trip from Toronto. Tim Hamilton, Hope Teague-Bowling @espionfire, Nathan Bowling, and the Voice of the Sounders at CenturyLink, @britvoxus James Woollard! We'll have more show for you this week, including feedback on the upcoming Tuesday MLS Expansion Draft, and some of the team's feelings on that...

Cat, Steve & Tim relive both legs of the Western Conference Final, resulting in a 5-0 victory on aggregate against Houston. We also do a brief preview of the Saturday MLS Cup match, but, honestly... we're all here for the lulz, so we talk about weather and potential shirtless moments.

We're ready top #DefendOurCup.
