Once again, #Sounders get beat of a direct ball from the goalkeeper into where the back line is located as they try to high press. All it took was a 1-2 combination to get Ajago behind the CBs with a lot of real state in front of him and the the #RSL striker makes it 2-0 Seattle looks disjointed

Sounders defense might actually just be cursed. This is like last years red card curse, just new manifestation.

Make sure you listen to @elrolonw.bsky.social preview RSL. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/03/was-...

Such a good episode with @elrolonw.bsky.social and @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com The Cruz Azul scouting has me salivating for the Sounders to play them. 🔗 www.sounderatheart.com/2025/03/was-...

This morning in @soccerdownhere.bsky.social we took a close look at the #Sounders ' 3-1 win over #Antigua in the 2nd leg of #concacafchampionscup and Pedro de La Vega's performance. @OSGNelson and I also discussed #MLS opening week as well as week 2. That & more 👇 youtu.be/LHiAvzFT45M?...

Paul Arriola continues to impress with his consistent play. Last night, we got to talk to the former Dallas player about helping #Sounders move on in CONCACAF Champions Cup, beating #Antigua , facing Cruz Azul and more. youtu.be/VAK7cAOdjWg?...

Red hot what we learned this week🚨: @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com & I discuss the implications of Wedensday’s 3-1 win & how that allows the #Sounders to rotate a bit more purposefully for Saturday. We also discuss Schmetzer’s comments on the Lodeiro situation. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/02/big-...

According to @elrolonw.bsky.social‘s reporting, Nico Lodeiro has been bought out by Orlando City and will sign with Houston Dynamo.

Brian Schmetzer said Albert Rusnák might play against #Antigua on Feb 19th but will be cautious with his condition after the CAM picked up a right quad injury. #Sounders could also be without Reed Baker-Whiting for sometime with a hamstring injury. youtu.be/EFX451D5GDU?...

Schmetzer says Rusnak has a ‘tweak’ in his right quad. Unlikely to play vs Louisville. Said he’s hopeful Rusnak could be available for Antigua.

We should have a show for you this afternoon. @elrolonw.bsky.social joins @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com in the latest episode of ‘what you need to know.’

Great commentary from @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com and @elrolonw.bsky.social! Here is to hoping that Pedro de La Vega is the @empiregass.bsky.social “Gass Theorem” Player of the Year in 2025

🚨 The first ever episode of Lobbing Scorchers Kickoff starts in 10 minutes! Join @arililjenwall.bsky.social and @elrolonw.bsky.social for some morning footy talk. 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/L0qqWno...

Lobbing Scorchers LIVE - Tonight at 7pm PST Join @arililjenwall.bsky.social & @elrolonw.bsky.social as they talk Sounders pre-season and moves around MLS! 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/RSxJ_nH...

Albert Rusnák has come off with a potential injury, but he also walked off and vehemently waved off trainer so I’m going to say it’s mostly precautionary.

Waking up to snow AND a Paul Rothrock goal?! What splendid life we are living.

My guess is that when #Sounders plays with 3 in the back, he'll likely be the odd man out of the line up. He can certainly rotate there depending on who is available or what Brian's approach is going into specific games.

Hammarby scores the 2-2 equalizer in the 88th minute when #Sounders attempted to press the Swedish team in their own third. Seattle struggled to correct and stay in shape once Hammarby got through their press and once again with a cross to the far post they are able to score. Game ends 2-2

Nice way for #Sounders to close the 1st half of their pre-season game vs Hammarby. Seattle ends the initial 45 with a long spell of possession, which leads to an Alex Roldan score after a 13 pass sequence. The #MLS side is leading 2-0

Jesus Ferreira gives #Sounders the 1-0 lead with an assist from Jordan Morris. Hammarby gives up the ball inside their own 18 while struggling to build out of the back. Ill-advised passing from Hammarby in that area of the field but credit to Seattle for taking advantage.

There is a good live stream on YouTube of today's second pre-season game. This could be the #Sounders starting squad vs Hammarby. There were a lot of video games and bad links but this one seems legit. www.youtube.com/live/uGoSm3m...

Lots of interesting information from Brian Schmetzer here: #Sounders #Preseason youtu.be/PMm5FZBc8Sc?si…

Reed Baker-Whiting suffered a right hamstring injury during the #Sounders seconds pre-season game in Marbella, Spain. Brian Schmetzer didn't say what the severity of that injury was, but it sounds like it was serious. "The kid heard it pop," is part of what Brian said.

In what will hopefully become a Friday fixture, @elrolonw.bsky.social joins @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com to discuss “What we learned this week.” www.sounderatheart.com/2025/01/pedr...

My understanding is that the Sounders will NOT be one of the 16 MLS teams competing in the U.S. Open Cup this year. The Tacoma Defiance will play in their stead. It will be the first time since 2015 that the Sounders’ affiliate will participate in the tournament.

In last week's @soccerdownhere.bsky.social segment, we discuss the possibility of Raúl Ruidíaz going to #sandiegofc​ & Almiron to Atlanta United. We also went over the #sounders​ 1st week of training and Ragen's frustration after missing out on #USMNT January camp. youtu.be/rT3VnSKQLSo?...

Update: After issues with Kim's Ulsan contract were resolved by his camp before the 2 day window, #Sounders gave & his deal was completed as @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com reported. Kim Kee-hee will work on medical exams and getting P1 Visa. At this time, Kim is not likely to join the team in Spain.

Got to chop up it up with @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com and @elrolonw.bsky.social ahead of the Sounders trip to Spain

Sounders in advanced talks to acquire Jesus Ferreira Trade apparently hinges on Sounders ability to get Ferreira to agree to a contract extension. ✍️: @elrolonw.bsky.social www.sounderatheart.com/2024/12/soun...

Well done by @elrolonw.bsky.social as always. Talks for the Seattle Sounders to acquire Jesus Ferreira have been ongoing this offseason. One way or another, high likelihood Jesus Ferreira has played his last game for FC Dallas.

- Flashes in Pedro de La Vega's play feel like his talent will be in full display next year - Jordan Morris' confidence & productivity are important for the future - Brian Schmetzer's game plan vs #LAFC & #LaGalaxy were very good - #Sounders bringing a DP striker could make them an elite team

Not a successful year for the #Sounders but an encouraging one: - Regained status as a top team in Western Conference by eliminating #LAFC - Obed's breakout year & Cristian Roldan partnership in CM is promising - Cemented best CB duo in #MLS - Hitting gold on Georgi/Rothrock was huge

Did not forget about you. I think the XI will be: Frei; A. Roldab, Ragen, Bell, Nouhou; C. Roldan, Obed; De la Vega, Rusnák, Minoungou; Morris Yeimar Gómez Andrade might be on the bench as a last resort but would not expect him to play.

This is such a good quote 🔥 You can tell Obed is brimming with confidence right now, looks like a veteran out there. Hope he keeps getting meaner and meaner, Sounders need it.

Yooooo, he's ready

Yesterday, I spoke to Obed Vargas about facing a talented #LaGalaxy midfield led by Puig & Reus. Obed was explaining the importance of being physical when he gave me this phenomenal quote. "I plan to be a plague on top of them, a louse who doesn't let them be [Play] free." That quote is straight 🔥

"Planeo ser una plaga. Un piojo que no los deja ser libre." Fue Lo que dijo Obed Vargas sobre enfrentar a Riqui y Reus en la final de Conferencia ante #LaGalaxy También habló con nosotros de su gran actuación ante #LAFC, las emociones tras la hazaña de #Sounders youtu.be/qHZKtLpFWIc?...

My early vibes on Yeimar Gómez Andrade playing on Saturday vs #LAGalaxy are not good. Sounds like the center back's injurycould be an adductor strain. Even if it was a low-grade injury, a 6 day turnaround after allowing the swelling to go down seems far too short to recover enough to play.

Paul Rothrock out for the rest of the #MLSCUPPLAYOFFS, per Brian Schmetzer on KJR 93.3 FM The #Sounders HC said there was a 60% chance Yeimar Gomez Andrade plays on Saturday and it was 50-50 that Reed Baker-Whiting would make the game The percentage of probability are not encouraging.

- I think Steve Cherundolo did #Sounders a solid by starting Giroud and taking as long as he did to switch to 4-3-3 and putting in Ilie - Love what Georgi did when he came on - I think Schmetzer wanted to put in Ruidíaz and JP sooner but injuries prevented it - Road fans 👏👏👏 👇

- Offensive issues continue. The 1-1 that pushed the game to ET was an unfortunate own goal but Seattle created enough considering how the game played out. - J Bell struggled at times but him and Nathan were serviceable - #Sounders need all the guys that came off with injuries to be healthy

Finished re-watching the #Sounders win over #LAFC here what stood out: - Stef still man of the match, but Obed was a close 2nd. He was everywhere - Yeimar's absence was clearly felt but Regan was the reason it didn't cost Seattle the game - Schmetzer’s substitutions were spot on

Las semifinales de conferencia en #MLS fueron de locura. - #Sounders dio la gran sorpresa eliminando a #LAFC con una actuación heroica de Frei - #LaGalaxy le pasó por encima a Minnesota - #RBNY manejó a #NYCFC - #OrlandoCity ganó a lo Pareja Esto y más 9 a.m. PT www.youtube.com/live/6oE3nOr...

The #MLS eastern conference finals are set. #OrlandoCity with another strong #MLSCupPlayoffs performance puts and end to Atlanta United's Cinderella story with a 1-0 win. Very Oscar Pareja type of win. Disciplined defensively, effective in front of goal and lots of effort.
