It was a surreal and historic moment for soccer in Spokane: the atmosphere in ONE Stadium, the chaos (anxiety?!) of tracking two matches at the same time, and what's next for professional soccer in the Lilac City.

If you didn’t get a chance to watch live, @lobbingscorchers.com did a pre- AND postgame show with @spokanesoccershow.com. Among guests were Brad Evans, Lesle Gallimore, Sammy and, yes, I made cameos on both, including a brief reprisal of the ‘cash cab’. www.youtube.com/live/FXmMrcF...
We’re doing a live pregame show tomorrow in Spokane with @lobbingscorchers.com and @spokanesoccershow.com tomorrow from 5-6:30 PM. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/join...

I've started a podcast - @allthosemomentspod.com - with my friend
@lukebaumgarten.bsky.social, something we've promised/threatened to do for years: connecting social, political, or cultural moments with moments from our favorite movies / TV shows.

I start with a bunch of shoutouts. I then check in on Velocity FC's midseason excellence. Finally, I say goodbye to departing Zephyr FC players and welcomes the 6 new players announced by the club last week.

Coming up on EPISODE FIFTY, can you believe that???
Ep. 49 drops tomorrow, including the following shoutouts.
The Mezazoic Era continues in Seattle!
Seattle Reign today announced that midfielder Sam Meza has signed a three-year contract extension, keeping her with the club through the 2028 NWSL season.
Nothing from this club gives me confidence they'll turn it around. Literally nothing.

Really disappointed to see this with former Zephyr FC players going there.
...and Makena Carr left in December.
There will be enormous turnover throughout this league in its first few years and possibly beyond if the NWSL doesn't attain sanctioning for a 2nd division. Tampa Bay announced 9 departures after winning the league. The average number of departures is 10+ (maybe higher?).
"League rivals"? Lexington has a billionaire owner willing to paper over the cracks of incompetence and poor attendance. By paper, I of course mean the cash variety. Meanwhile, Kenzie Weinert joined her long term partner who plays for the Lexington SC men's team.
It's a new day for expansion teams in the USL, who have to balance building a fanbase with the expectations of D1 and pro-rel. How are they going about it?
I talked to Atletico Dallas' Matt Valentine and surveyed the expansion landscape to find out.

Tonight is gonna be fun as hell! Screening one of the best movies EVER, The Damned United, then doing a Q&A / discussion after with Velocity FC manager Leigh Veidman. 🍿🍻⚽️
I’m betting on the Pacers to win Game 7 tonight because if a Republican-led US government is starting wars over spurious claims that Muslim countries are developing WMD programs, Haliburton is probably about to get a big win
There's a special shout out for your boy Ollie Wright on this episode, @derschattenwolf.bsky.social 💋
Am I doing something wrong? Bluesky seems … fine? It’s almost indistinguishable from my Twitter timeline in 2017.
It's fucking awesome. Now, the trick is to get all the enormous accounts on X to stop pretending they're still on Twitter. The only reason Musk's grotesque experiment is still working is because famous (and vain) people refuse to leave it.
What happened on this game winner from Pierre Reedy?
✅ David Garcia picked out the run from PR (right, David???)
✅ the defender took a really bad touch
✅ PR cut in on his left foot to avoid the chase from two defenders
Time to catch up on Velocity FC results and their place at the TOP OF THE TABLE. 1

The Seattle Sounders owner effectively telling the players off for wearing the "Club World Cash Grab" t-shirts (seeking fair pay from Club World Cup participation) is pretty bad, and shows why the players are protesting in the first place.
The idea for the 2025 beer collaboration between the Spokane Soccer Show and Wildland Co-op was also born: the Las Chivas Lager. Michael and I caught up to talk about this new and suspiciously tasty beer and the story of Chiva, Chivas, and all our feels for Zephyr FC.
Last June, Velocity played a friendly vs. Chivas U23 team and it made for some of the best memories I have of pro soccer so far in Spokane. A couple weeks later, my in-laws Michael and Vanessa found out they were expecting a baby. The baby's nickname, of course, became Chiva.

I think it's a reflection of her faith more than anything. Thanks for listening as always! Appreciate you. 💚
I now have a permanent space for the show and it's amazing. Having Emina Ekić as the first guest in the studio was a perfect way to start this new chapter with being a part-time half-assed podcaster. What a player, what a person. 🌬️⚽
