I'd ask how many times you've seen it, but we all know the answer is 37.

The only question is was it in a row?

🍅 Getting a power nap on the train before today's @reignfc.com kid's day match!

This really highlights just how dominant Obed Vargas and Cristian Roldan were in the middle of the pitch, disrupting and frustrating him.

It will be interesting to see if other teams try to employ similar tactics going forward this season.

Crunching the Lionel Messi numbers from FotMob, in his previous 50 games including w/ARG, Messi has only had two appearances where he played more than 35 minutes and had a lower rating than his Leagues Cup Final vs @soundersfc.com.

5.8 vs Cin (7/16/25)
5.9 vs NYCFC (9/21/24)
6.1 vs SEA (8/31/25)

In the immortal words of Ice Cube, today was a good day.

This is my understanding as well, the only difference being no return credit and no resale, but I'll ask in tonight's Alliance Council meeting as I'll see Taylor then.

After saving the shot, I quickly went to take a photo of the ball for the guy who picked it up, figuring he might like a little keepsake from the moment.

Little did I know that he was recording the kick on his Google Glass and got video of me saving the kick from hitting anyone.

My Messi moment.

Tonight in the League's Cup Final, I made a save against Lionel Messi when his shot on a free kick went into the stands. Prevented the woman next to me from getting hit.

As a goalie, I will be dining on this feat for a long time.

They went after Grant at halftime as well!

Well done by the Sounders!

The Sounders have released the final few sections of the 300 level for tomorrow's Leagues Cup Final vs Inter Miami and Lionel Messi.

This is your last chance to get face value tickets and avoid scalpers.

Get in the door price is $111 each for a Final. If you are on the fence, join us!

Getting closer...

As if we need any better reason to sell out Lumen for Sunday's Leagues Cup match, the Sounders have an unbeaten record of 7 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw (7-0-1) when playing at Lumen Field in front of a crowd of over 60,000 fans.

West side has now opened up 9 sections

Hell yeah! Nothing like getting all that good karma out to fellow Sounders fans before we shock and awe yet another team when we have 50,000+ at home.

The club did something similar in 2019 and in 2023 for Champions League Final if I recall.

Check now!

Do not feed the scalpers. You'll have opportunities as more seats are released.

Just posted that only 9 of the 42 300 level sections were available, so keep checking since they'll be opening more for sure.

While these have now sold out, that was only 9 of the 42 sections in the 300 level.

If you are still without tickets, keep an eye on Ticketmaster for more sections to open up. They typically open up new inventory a few sections at a time.

These sold out in about 40 minutes.

Sounders have opened the 300 level for the Leagues Cup Final Sunday.

They are live on ticketmaster now.

So damn filthy!

They've announced the Leagues Cup third place game on Sunday will be at 2:00pm, while the Final will be at 4:55pm. That's the kind of Sunday timeslots I can get behind!

Strangely, it's not the Assistant VAR - one Daniel Radford.

Many of these games are reffed by refs outside of USA/Canada/Mexico, so they don't have as much experience officiating this level of talent.

I have a theory this is part of the reason there have been so many red cards in this tournament. No one knows where the line is. I mean look at MIAvORL now.

Absolutely. Plus, it's the one trophy we haven't won, so I'll go full Veruca Salt and demand it.

But what I care most about is a Champions League berth. Win tonight, or the third place game Sunday, and we're in.
