On this week's episode of the Sounders FC Pod-Cast, host Steve Zakuani recaps what could be shaping up to be a nine-point week for the Seattle Sounders. First, a solid win over FC Dallas last weekend, followed by a grind-it-out victory over San Diego FC on Wednesday, which saw Jesus Ferreira open his scoring bank account for the first time in a Rave Green jersey. The schedule doesn't get easier: Steve looks ahead to a tough home matchup against third-place Minnesota United (kickoff 3pm on Sunday at Lumen Field) before the Sounders hit the road to face Western Conference table-leading Vancouver Whitecaps on June 8th.

And keep tuning in from there, as Steve is joined by Change Champion Elvin Bucu, Senior Director of Development for Foundation for Tacoma Students to learn more about the great work him and his team do for the community.

On this week's episode of the Sounders FC Pod-Cast, co-hosts Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani recap a 4-point road trip that took the Rave Green to Houston, LAFC and Portland. They discuss the busy home schedule ahead, starting with Saturday afternoon's matchup against FC Dallas, then San Diego FC on the 28th and Minnesota to open up June. Brad and Zak go through lineup options, breakdown the team's set piece success this season, and discuss how MLS has transformed into a more attacking-focused league.

Then, Steve is joined by Change Champion Christy Garner of the Boys and Girls Club, Puget Sound, to learn more about the organization and how they serve local youth through mentorship programs.

The pod wraps up with a quick game of Over / Under and a broadcast look ahead for the next week and a half.

It's Portland Timbers week! Time for the Rave Green to head down to the Rose City to face the team's biggest rival, the Portland Timbers. Host Steve Zakuani does a quick recap of the midweek match at LAFC, then it's on to a preview of the PNW Derby.
