I'm not super glued to Seattle, but from a bird's eye view it looked like Thomas Andrew won the job, no?

No on Flip 7 (but it's a great game if you have a group on non-gamers over). Castles of Burgundy is great, and I would not hesitate to get it.
A few recs from my side:
Mandala
Crisps!
Patchwork
Sea Salt & Paper

Ha. At 5 players it takes a while to get through everyone else's turns before it gets back to you, but the puzzle is so compelling I would still be willing to play it at that count, just not ideal.
Our first game with 5 players took four hours 🙄.

Great card "dancing" mechanism. Will wreck your brain. Don't play it at 5p.

Vancouver won't because the World Cup will showcase their young players and teams abroad will make offers they can't refuse, and can't reload.
Miami won't because you can't replace Busquets and Alba, as old as they are, with equal talent and synchronicity.
But I also don't bet against Messi.

Seattle won't spend for high end talent, and the talent they do have is often physically broken.
SD won't because if they get Salah, can they handle his ego in a team that works for each other as a unit?
LAFC won't because MDS is just Dolo 2.0.

Vancouver had rights to the Cup, but sometimes it's a game of inches that does you in. That double post was the reason Miami is Champion, otherwise it's game over since everything about the game suggested Vancouver was the better team.

Interesting that Altered has been a persistent game all year. How do you feel about it being a TCG?
