Going into the first leg with one healthy Center Back and one healthy DP screams optimism

I’m assuming roster compliance numbers did not take into account GAM from Obed’s transfer

TL;DR I’m pretty sure the Sounders still have somewhere between $3M-$3.9M of GAM regardless of what last Friday’s release says.

Some teams are obsessed with GAM

Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah have been handed lifetime suspensions from MLS for violating the league’s Gambling Policy.

The investigation found that Jones and Yeboah bet “extensively” on soccer, including on their own teams, during 2024 and 2025. Including a Jones yellow card in 2024.

Seattle Sounders
So happy to see Hassani back and healthy enough to start
Hoping DeRo continues his great link up play
Clean sheets a lot to ask for but any positive result in a place we historically are bad at will be great.
Go Sounders

PRO says Hassani Dotson’s goal should have stood Audio of VAR process also illustrates some serious problems in how the system worked.

PRO says Hassani Dotson’s goal should have stood, and audio of the review shows a badly a misapplied process.

Yeahhh that escalator wasn’t a bad idea but the target numbers were way too low
Rusnak has been statistically an above average DP in MLS but it seems like the sounders took until the end of the season last year to figure out what type of player Ferreira was which was maddening
PDLV may need a buyout

Would’ve been great but dang roster restrictions

This was Club World Cup bad. Lines back to the hot dog vendors is just unsafe.

Was at the game, there were a few times they calmly broke through the sounders press to everyone’s surprise.
Did they do anything after that? Nah 😂

Yeah confusing in stadium but then showed Dero
Who also didn’t foul anyone

So same as last season lol

Brian Schmetzer kicks us off with an opening statement/remark: “Alex Roldan: 250 appearances. So, that’s a big number, and he passed Brad Evans. ... I congratulated Hassani Dotson on his first Sounders goal, because it was a goal, there was no foul on that."

GO DERS

The worst outside the stadium experience for a matchday ever @soundersfc.com

Pathetic by Poch

Pochettino on Weah’s critique of World Cup ticket prices: Players should keep focus on the field The U.S. manager indicated that it's not his or the players' place to answer for FIFA's decisions and that opinions should be kept quiet

Asked about high World Cup ticket prices and Tim Weah saying they are "disappointing," USMNT's Mauricio Pochettino said focus should be "on the pitch" and to leave questions to FIFA.

"We are not politicians. ... It’s not up to us to provide our opinion."

The extraordinary story of a soccer coach, a kidnapping and a Saudi job that didn’t exist Adrian Heath was duped into thinking he was on the verge of a new job – only to be held at knifepoint in Morocco. Turns out he's not alone

Ex-MLS coach Adrian Heath thought the offer of a coaching job in Saudi Arabia could be a logical next career step.

Instead, it led to the former Everton player being kidnapped in Morocco, held at knifepoint, and left fearing for his life.
