A massive week awaits the Seattle Sounders, as the Rave Green welcome mighty Tigres UANL to Lumen Field to close out the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals. Facing a 2-0 aggregate deficit after Leg 1, can Seattle celebrate their long-awaited homecoming with a comeback and keep their CCC title dreams alive? And will Jesus Ferreira be in the starting XI for the series finale after his surprising omission in the first leg? We'll break out the lineup builder and project exactly how we think Brian Schmetzer will line it up on Wednesday. Later on, we'll discuss Georgi Minoungou's big debut with the Colorado Rapids, which saw him log an assist in the same match where former Sounders homegrown Josh Atencio also found the scoresheet.
Join us live on the Lobbing Scorchers YouTube every Monday at 8 am PT to kick off your week with the latest on all things Rave Green and Major League Soccer. Watch live to interact with us directly, and bring your questions, agendas, observations or grievances, or catch the audio version on your platform of choice.
