Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Staskell, joined as always by Paul Tenorio.

And Paul, we're in a little bit of a role reversal situation this week.

I am the person on the show that's operating on one hour of sleep as we record this

podcast on Thursday evening.

The Seattle Sounders have won the Conca Calf Champions League.

I was there in Seattle last night.

I am not in Seattle any longer.

I'm back home in New York, which is hence the one hour of sleep thing.

It was a late night and an early

flight, my man. But history made for Seattle, for MLS. They win three nothing in the second

leg against Pumas to win five two on aggregate. Crowd of nearly 70,000 at Lumen Fields.

Just, man, you know, we talked to last week about wanting to have a positive show. I don't think

we're going to have any issues having a positive show this week, Paul. Yeah, I mean, I, first of all,

you know, some serious fomo on you getting to experience that atmosphere, that, you know, historic

moment for the league, for the Sounders. I watched on my couch at home, and it was cool to see the

atmosphere and see the celebrations

and to hear the crowd during the key moments of that game, whether it was after the goals

or in, you know, when the three star players of the Sounders were walking off towards the end

of the game, which was the lead of your game story.

Really cool experience, I'm sure, for everyone who was there.

And I think that it was, you know, something that could be an important moment in league history.

That's still TBD.
