In the second half of the show, CenterlineSoccer.com's Robert Jonas previews San Jose and the various ways in which they plan to attack the Timbers in Tuesday night's game.

Unfortunately, the best part of last week was already covered by an earlier podcast. That left us with the somewhat less than fun task of talking about Saturday's tie with the New England Revolution. Since Aaron and I were in no mood to do that on our own, we decided to ask Dave Clark and Sidereal -- our cohorts on Sounder at Heart -- onto the show for a midseason roundtable. Mead was drank. Grades were given. Dave finally admitted that the Eddie Johnson trade was perhaps the best move the Sounders have ever made (OK, maybe not the last part). It was a fun show, nevertheless. As we do every week, we also took your questions, of which there were plenty. We even answered our first-ever voicemail (give us a ring at 206-395-8478). If you'd like to get your questions answered on future shows, follow on twitter (@NosAudietis) or shoot as email (nosaudietis_at_gmail_dot_com).

In Episode 28 of The Mexican Soccer Show, we take a look at the latest news regrading the futures of Guillermo Ochoa, Giovani Dos Santos and Carlos Vela, discuss Jesús Corona being named captain of Mexico´s Olympic team and talk about the big issue of Efraín Júarez´s slightly bizarre facial hair (Catinflas, anyone?).

Soccer Made in Portland's 50th episode is filled with projections on what line-up the Timbers will use against Colorado. Who will replace Kalif Alhassan? Should Mike Fucito or Danny Mwanga start? How close is Diego Chara to earning a suspension? Other topics include just how far Portland's momentum can carry them and whether the Timbers can win back-to-back games for the first time since August 2011.

And we’re back, with another episode of Nos Audietis. A lot has happened since our last show; some of it’s been good, some of it’s been bad. Luckily the good stuff happened more recently than the bad, so naturally we spend more time talking about that. There are recaps of both the loss to Portland and the huge US Open Cup win over the San Jose Earthquakes, as well as our feelings about which direction this team is headed. This week we’re joined by internet sensation and legend of Sounders fandom Erin Riley (@sonarriley) who talks a bit about the vibe at Kezar, the trip to the Bay Area in general and, of course, #sonarfeed. We also talk to local boy done good Kelyn Rowe (@KRowe210) as the Sounders prepare to take on New England Revolution. And as always we’ll take some of your questions, and this week that means a whole lot of transfer talk.
