Not counting Homegrowns, De Rosario is the sixth player on the Sounders’ first-team roster who was signed directly from Tacoma Defiance. I’d venture to guess no MLS team has anything close to this direct of a pathway.

Osaze De Rosario added another goal last night, giving him 10 in eight games across all competitions for the Defiance. His blazing start is no accident. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/05/osaz...

Come to Starfire to watch Defiance host the Timbers but come early to hang out with us. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/05/taco...

Osaze De Rosario might be the hottest striker in North America and the underlying numbers seem to suggest he’s made a genuine leap forward. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/05/osaz...

It’s Cinco de Mayo 🪇🪇🪇🪇🪇🪇🪇🪇go get urself some free tacos if you were at the Sounders game Sat. night! 💚 El Rinconsito is sooooo good! 😋

Obed Vargas has leveled up this year, folks. With passes like this one, he's doing stuff on the ball for the Sounders that few MLS center mids are doing. Won't be around for much longer.

FIFA is giving each Club World Cup host city $1 million for grassroots soccer. “It’s very important for us to make sure we care about our social responsibility, especially the one we have to growing the game here in America,” Gianni Infantino tells The Inquirer: www.inquirer.com/soccer/fifa-...

Pro/rel has historically been one of the third-rail arguments in American soccer. But now that USL has grabbed hold of it, we explored how it could impact the PNW soccer scene. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/04/how-...

Following @jtansey90.bsky.social's report earlier today, I've heard Dániel Gazdag's transfer fee from the Union to the Columbus Crew is $4 million up front and $500,000 in performance incentives. I still don't know when the deal will be officially over the line.

Vancouver eliminating another Liga Mx team (in 🇲🇽) guarantees another Liga MX vs MLS Concacaf Champions Cup final. What a fumble by Pumas. Well deserved by the Whitecaps who will now bring Messi and friends to Canada. 🇨🇦

Since 2008 3 out of 23 MLS teams have won a Concacaf series with the 2nd leg in Mexico in which they didn’t outright win the 1st leg at home. THE Vancouver Whitecaps are 2 of those 3 THIS YEAR!

Another call for my convo with @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com on the state of the soccer scene in the PNW and how pro/rel might change things. youtu.be/_EudnEyWDVo?...

Hi all! We're doing a USMNT-centric "Take It or Leave It" episode tomorrow. Send us your takes about formations, positions, call-ups, dual nationals, etc, and we will talk them out on the show! -T

BREAKING: Inter Miami hold Kevin De Bruyne's MLS discovery rights, per multiple sources. That gives Lionel Messi's team the inside track to sign the Manchester City star if he comes to MLS this summer. Details: www.nytimes.com/athletic/625...

You probably missed it, but Yu Tsukanome put in a performance for the ages for Tacoma last night. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/04/yu-t...

At the risk of being gauche, today’s a good reminder that things only last if they’re supported. Last month, we spent by far the most we’ve ever spent on contractors (we pay for EVERY story we run). If you like what you’re reading, please become a member. www.sounderatheart.com#/portal/signup

Imagine being so immorally corrupt and evil that you raise prices and strip people of their retirement savings and then immediately go golfing and host a $1M per person dark money “fundraiser” to celebrate. Stop calling the orange felon a businessman, he’s diabolical and dumb AF.

You’ll notice now that the economy is crashing and the U.S. is headed towards another recession thanks to totalitarian trade war tariffs that the national security disaster on Signal Chat is completely forgotten. Distraction is MAGA’s weapon of choice.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Nothing like a #VWFC Friday news drop, and this one is pretty big: “We can confirm that Whitecaps FC is currently in discussion with the City of Vancouver regarding the construction of a stadium at the PNE fairgrounds site” it says Full statement👇 www.whitecapsfc.com/news/stateme...

BREAKING... Vancouver Whitecaps FC confirm they are in talks with the City of Vancouver to build a new outdoor soccer-specific stadium. The proposed location is the PNE fairgrounds at Hastings Park. #VWFC #MLS #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

The New Jersey Democrat spent more than 25 hours criticizing the Trump administration's policies on immigration, education, the economy and more since 7 p.m. ET Monday. He ended his marathon speech shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

Brian Schmetzer gives Softy and Dick Fain some Sounders injury updates: "Getting closer...Pedro [de la Vega] is a 50-50 for the weekend [in San Diego]. If not, then for the following game [in Dallas]...Jordan Morris could be there for the Dallas game." Excellent news. @933KJR

Josh Weil is fighting for Florida’s future—not fame. While Randy Fine spews inflammatory nonsense, Josh is focused on protecting Social Security & delivering real certainty for families. This race isn’t about headlines. It’s about who actually gives a damn—& that’s Josh Weil. #FL06 #Florida

First session in the books ✅

The Sounders have completed the signing of Ryan Kent, I’ve been told. As @elrolonw.bsky.social has previously reported, it’s a one-year guaranteed contract with a second option year.
