The Seattle Sounders' winless run continued in Matchday 23 with a 2-2 draw vs. Chicago Fire FC at Lumen Field, but the Rave Green did get a memorable club debut from new No. 9 Dejan Jovelic. Does the super Serbian raise Seattle's ceiling in the race for trophies in 2026, or will it take more for the squad to emerge from its summer doldrums? That's one of the topics we'll discuss, along with the continued emergence of Sebastian Gomez, a look at the center back situation and the potential impact of the injury returns of Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris. Later on, we'll jump around the league to discuss a standout performance from Philadelphia Union rising star Cavan Sullivan, a four-goal outburst from Lionel Messi, and a tense interaction between Chucky Lozano and Mikey Varas' in the LA Galaxy's match against San Diego FC. ☕️ Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff is presented by QED Coffee, a Seattle-based roaster, coffee shop, and coffee subscription service.

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe react to Adrian Hanauer's open letter to Sounders supporters, breaking down what the majority owner actually said, what he chose to leave out, and whether the messaging matches the moment for a fan base that has watched the season slip away. Lobbing Scorchers digs into whether the Sounders will actually add another reinforcement before the window closes. New signing Dejan Joveljić could give the attack the presence it has been missing, but with midfield questions still unresolved and injury risk piling up across the roster, is one striker really enough to salvage the playoff push? Ari and Noah round out the show with the results of a Lobbing Scorchers supporter poll, getting into who actually filled it out, why supporters still stand behind Brian Schmetzer despite the results, the growing criticism of Sounders spending, and the worsening sentiment across the fan base.

The Seattle Sounders are back at it this weekend and there's plenty to talk about following the exciting arrival of Dejan Joveljić as the Rave Green return home for a blockbuster matchup with Robert Lewandowski and Chicago Fire FC. We'll preview the matchup with Alex Campbell of CHGO Sports, who joins us to give the lowdown on Chicago's emergent season in Year 2 under Gregg Berhalter and the impact Lewandowski has made since his blockbuster summer arrival to MLS. Later on, we'll talk more about Joveljić as the Serbian striker readies to make his club debut on Saturday. Then, we'll dive into the open letter Adrian Hanauer released to supporters on Wednesday and what to make of his message amid a turbulent stretch for the club. #UTL Subscribe to the NEW Lobbing Scorchers Blog: www.lobbingscorchers.com Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe SPONSORS QED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.
