The Radio Cuju gang is back for another edition of Alexi Lalas's favorite podcast...alright we can't confirm that, but we'll keep thinking for our egos. On this week's show we discuss lots of football related Olympics stuff. Usain Bolt wants a tryout with Manchester United, Team Great Britain and whether or not the US v Canada was one of the greatest matches ever played. We also talk about MLS changing some rules mid-season and share a few thoughts about the passing of Kirk Urso.

Sounder At Heart's Jeremiah Oshan and TheCup.US' Josh Hakala join us on the pre-game show to look ahead to the game and discuss the 2012 edition of the US Open Cup. The halftime segment begins at the 67 minute mark, followed by post-game coverage, including viewer calls. All that plus your emails and tweets on a special episode of The Best Soccer Show.

Fans of United Hosts Devon MacTavish, Chris Wimmer and Eric Hunsaker discuss D.C. United's win over Columbus, their picks for mid-season MVP and look ahead to Kansas City.

Big, big week for us in Sounders-land. Not only did the Seattle Sounders start CONCACAF Champions League play on Wednesday with a win over Caledonia, but they followed that up with a 4-0 trouncing of the LA Galaxy. That was all just a mere preview for Wednesday's chance at history in the U.S. Open Cup final against Sporting Kansas City. After quickly dispensing with talk of Caledonia and the Galaxy, we welcome none other than Jimmy Conrad (@jimmyconrad_com) to the show to help us preview Wednesday's match. Conrad, as you may know, played most of his MLS career with Kansas City. His time there also gives him some quality insight into Eddie Johnson, who he also played on the 2006 U.S. World Cup team with. It's a fun interview, to be sure. Of course, no episode is complete without us taking your questions. Most of them have to do with how awesome the Sounders are looking right now, but there are of course some rather off-topic ones, including who we think would make the best crime-fighting duo on the Sounders. If you'd like to get your questions answered, follow us on Twitter (@NosAudietis) or send us an email (nosaudietis_at_gmail_dot_com).

Hey, we made it back. Hope you missed us. That was pretty excruciating, wasn't it? Not knowing if you had the right opinions about the Chelsea friendly or the All-Star Game? Good thing we're back to tell you how you should feel about all the Transfer Window Madness and Saturday's win over the Colorado Rapids. Both Aaron and myself are reasonably satisfied with the moves, by the way. A Christian Tiffert-for-Alvaro Fernandez swap didn't quite feel right, but assuming the Sounders are really signing this Mario Martinez guy, it's hard not to be bullish about this team moving forward. And picking up a win at Colorado never sucks. Also, what about this Eddie Johnson character? There's really no reason to act otherwise: He's a Grown Ass Man with some Grown Ass Talent and playing out of his Grown Ass Mind. You just have to love watching him right now. We also welcome a couple guest onto the show. Nathan Carr (@caribbeanftbl) gives us the lowdown on Thursday's CCL opponent Caledonia. Ryan Rosenblatt (@ryanrosenblatt) then gets all emotional talking about how his LA Galaxy have suddenly turned their season around. Of course, no show would be complete without your questions, which are predictably focused on the new additions and recent subtractions. If you'd like to get your questions answered, give us a follow on Twitter (@NosAudietis), shoot us an email (nosaudietis_at_gmail_dot_com) or find some other way to contact us.
