The offseason is now kicking into gear as training camp is open and the Seattle Sounders' first cuts should be announced shortly. In this week's episode of Nos Audietis, we discuss the Sounders' new partnership with the Tacoma Tide and their subsequent rebranding as Sounders U-23. The team will play in the PDL and give Sounders Academy products an opportunity to stay close to come during the offseason.
We also take a look at how that partnership could affect the Sounders Women and Aaron declares his desire to see more attention to be focused in that direction, something that gained some significance with news that the WPS has suspended its 2012 season.
Also on the docket this week is discussion of the MLS All-Star Game and the lack of United States men's national team games being played in the Pacific Northwest. Jeremiah and Aaron mildly disagree about their views on the All-Star Game and, shockingly, agree that it's high time that the USMNT head back to our neck of the woods.
One programming note: Nos Audietis has decided to join the cool kids over at NASN, home of Best Soccer Show. We're also actively looking for sponsors, now that we have a fancy new studio. If you're interested, shoot us an email to NosAudietis(at)gmail(dot)com.
