After taking Memorial Day weekend off, the show continued on for a special Tuesday night episode previewing the U.S.-Brazil game. Christopher McCollum us joined by regular panelists Brian Sciaretta, John Kretlow, Jamie Hill and Mathew Wagner, as well as special guest from the New York Times Goal Blog John Godfrey. The show begins with an immediate recap of the game against Scotland, featuring some analysis but mostly opinion on the favorite players and moments of the game, and the various emotions that the result brought forth. Everyone named their Three Stars for the game, with overwhelming favorites being Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley for the top two spots. The discussion then went briefly into news from Portugal, discussing Caleb Patterson-Sewell’s move from second division Atletico CP to Vitoria Setubal in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. From there, the conversation went north to Norway, talking about Josh Gatt and what he needs to do to get into the National Team, and then trying to make sure that Stabaek’s 4-1 victory over the weekend was not a typo. The focus then turned to previewing the Brazil game, with a lot of discussion focused on Michael Bradley, whom John Godfrey likened to an M-80 firecracker due to his tendency to go from standing still to exploding. The nickname MB-80 was thus coined, and one-by-one opinions are given on what story lines on the American side and on the Brazilian side are most being looked forward to.

Portland's 1-1 draw with Vancouver is the subject of the first half of the show with particular attention paid to the new formation, how that style relates to John Spencer's previous comments and where mao and Kelly fall on the late game substitutions. The second half of the show is devoted to previewing the Timbers' upcoming US Open Cup fixture with Cal FC. Assistant coach Nick Webster previews the team at large while star midfielder Danny Barrera provides a player's insight into the Third Round match.

Just in time to catch onto all the U.S. Open Cup madness we have our episode that is almost entirely devoted to that very subject. Once we dispense with the formalities of talking about the week that was, which honestly was not all that fun anyway, we go headlong into this little tournament the Seattle Sounders have won three years running. The show is jam-packed with guests, too, as we welcome local boy Ciaran O'Brien (@ciaranobrien7), who gives us the scoop on the Atlanta Silverbacks, Wednesday's opponent. We also bring in Chris Martz (@thechrismartz), a blogger who knows Atlanta soccer well, to discuss the implications of the Silverbacks selling their game to the Sounders. Just to round it out, we go to theCup.US's Josh Hakala (@joshhakala) for the national view of the tournament. Of course, no episode of Nos Audietis would be complete if we didn't answer plenty of your questions. We asked as many of your questions as time reasonably allowed.
