Brian Schmetzer says that tomorrow's match against Cruz Azul will be "interesting" given how the Mexican side plays direct. Says there will be a lot of "cat and mouse situations." Stefan Frei calls the Cruz Azul team "stacked."

Rainy day at Lumen Field for Sounders training. One day from the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 first leg against Cruz Azul on this field. From my untrained eye, Danny Leyva has had a really good practice in the various activities.

FINAL! Sounders move on! Pedro de la Vega scores twice and Arriola adds another as Seattle get two 3-1 wins (6-2 on aggregate) to move to the next round of Concacaf Champions Cup. Next up, at Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Then, it's Cruz Azul back here next Wednesday, March 5th in CCC action.

Danny Leyva has quietly had a really, really good game tonight.

The Antigua goalkeeper just threw Pedro de la Vega to the ground and only got a yellow card. Concacaf y'all

Jesus Ferreira to Paul Arriola again, goal in the 53rd minute and it's 2-1 Seattle tonight and 5-2 on aggregate.

Sounders vs Antigua second leg (Seattle leads 3-1) kickoff coming soon. Not as much rotation from Brian Schmetzer as Jordan Morris, Pedro de la Vega and Jesus Ferreira all get the start.

The Seattle Sounders have announced a new "First Match On Us" initiative. Essentially, it's free tickets to select matches for anyone who hasn't attended a Sounders game before. Seattle say they want to grow the game. This is a great way to do so. Awesome idea 👏👏

Sounders back at it in Longacres ahead of Wednesday's CCL second leg (3-1 lead) vs Antigua GFC at Lumen Field at 7:30. No radio broadcast for that, but you can watch on FS2.

💚

"It feels like 2024." A fun, and at the same time not-so-fun, Postgame Show last night after the Sounders draw. Fifth home game since the start of last season where a late 1 goal lead turned into a draw. Work to do, lots of time to do it. Listen here: www.iheart.com/podcast/59-s...

Final. 2-2. Jordan Morris scores twice but Charlotte equalizes late thru an own goal. And the points are shared. Ugh. KJR's Postgame Show starts next on 93.3 FM and www.933kjr.com/listen.

A poor Jackson Ragen touch leads to a turnover and ends with a Yeimar own goal. Charlotte ties it in the 92nd minute. 2-2

GOAL! #86 for Jordan Morris! From Albert Rusnak. Great ball down the middle and Jordan gets his second and ties Raul's all time club mark. 2-1 Seattle in the 49th. Listen: 93.3 FM / www.933kjr.com/listen

GOAL! Georgi Minoungou to Jordan Morris. 85th goal in club history for Jordan, 1 away from Raul Ruidiaz at 86 for first all time. Sounders lead Charlotte 1-0 in the 20th minute. Listen: 93.3 FM / www.933kjr.com/listen

"The entire world will tremble at your might" Well done, ECS

First time back since October 28th. It's like we never left, with some Seattle sunshine too. 45 minutes to air time on KJR. 93.3 FM / www.933kjr.com/listen

We're back, baby. Sounders soccer at Lumen Field and on 93.3 KJR FM tonight, as Seattle hosts Charlotte. Excited to be back alongside the greats Kelyn Rowe and Pete Fewing. 7pm Pre-Match Show, 7:30 kickoff on 93.3 FM and www.933kjr.com/listen ! Join us there or on the radio!

Good morning from Longacres where the Sounders are practicing before starting the MLS regular season tomorrow at home against Charlotte. And yes, that is a picture of Kim Kee-hee. He's back and he's here!

Final! The first Sounders match of 2025 is the first win of 2025! A 3-1 first leg victory over Antigua GFC down in Guatemala. Second leg is next Wednesday night back at Lumen Field. Big lead to hold onto. BUT FIRST! The MLS slate starts on Saturday night against Charlotte in Seattle. We're so back!

Paul Arriola. 3rd minute goal. 1-0. Assist from Jesus Ferreira. Wow. That worked, Craig Waibel.

The Sounders are back! Their 2025 road in Concacaf action starts in Guatemala tonight. Right now! Watch: www.youtube.com/live/7mGsJJ-...

Rusnak starts on the bench, Ferreira starts at the 10 in Schmetzer's classic 4-2-3-1. At least that's how it's listed here. Wonder how the shape changes.

ICYMI: Here are the streaming options for tonight's Champions Cup match! 📺 • Fox Soccer Plus in English • Vix+ in Spanish • Concacaf on YouTube in Spanish

Sources: Several clubs in the Netherlands are interested in Seattle Sounders rising midfielder Obed Vargas. Dutch clubs among many keeping tabs on Vargas. Would expect to see real, serious offers this summer. Vargas, 19, has one cap with Mexico after filing one-time switch.

Sounders Weekly has returned! We kicked off the 2025 season last night by talking with President Hugh Weber (who shared lots of news), @arililjenwall.bsky.social, and Paul Arriola. LISTEN: www.iheart.com/podcast/59-s...

Will there be a third Sounders kit in 2025? Yes. Hugh Weber says, "The things that you've heard potentially about there being a tip-of-the-hat to something retro, is something you can probably anticipate...I would be dissappointed if we did not have something in our fans hands to enjoy soon."

Sounders President of Business Operations Hugh Weber tells Softy and me on KJR that Lumen Field will go under a "massive renovation" to get ready for the World Cup in 2026, including putting "long-term grass in place." What does that mean? Well...

On the topic of a Sounders soccer specific stadium, Hugh Weber tells us on KJR, "We want to continue to curate the fan-first-friendly kind of experience and we believe that may be attainable through a soccer specific stadium."

#SNL50 was magnificent. Coughing up a lung from all the laughing. And McCartney to end it, brilliant.
