Honey badger disagrees. To each their own though, and I'm glad we had them at their prime, not our opponents.

For sure the team was, but the individual match up JP v Ozzie? Ozzie carried that team.
JP did a lot of the grunt work, but with a better team around him. Not sure he would have won individual duels against peak Ozzie, but it would be fun to watch.

If peak Ozzie (2017) played peak JP (2021) in an all Sounders fantasy match, who wins the individual matchup?

Ireland!!!
You can't make this stuff up.

One of the more underrated players in recent years.
Willing to do the dirty work, and set the tone for the team.
After the CCL final, the team was never the same (nor was he).
Once a Sounders, always a Sounder.

Curious to see how this affects fall attendance/TV viewings. Competing more with college football/NFL (two TV powerhouses) will likely lose viewership.
At the same time, spring playoffs/ MLS Cup could negate that-
Combined with Apple scrapping Season Pass, could be net gain.

Schedule change with MLS and how that could affect European transfers in 2027- beyond.

Could always have depth- given the games we play. However, I don't think Nouhou would take kindly to a sub role.
Not sure if Zimmerman would either.
Since we are probably losing Kee Hee, having extra quality defenders is not a bad move. There are worse things.

Remember remember the 5th of November..

Given all the NBAs scandals, why Seattle wants a team is beyond me.
No thanks.

Ugh, the late slot on the 3rd.
School night and timing hurts attendance.
And competing with MNF, ugh.
It's the little things that are hurting the league exposure.

Calling on the PNW local to get this turned around..

One would think. However, stranger things have happened- and there are plenty of examples of owners not thinking clearly.

Maybe, though that runs the risk of having someone worse. Hit or miss.

If Mariners win WS, will front office be more likely to stand pat and run it back? Not sure they would shell out for more (or to replace Suarez or Naylor if they leave).

That mound visit though. Raleigh comes to mound after first pitch, then 6 pitches (give or take), they are out of inning and stops further crowd frenzy.

That is control of the game. That is why Raleigh> Judge.

Brewers v Mariners.
The (former) Pilots v expansion team that replaced them (Mariners) for WS.
It's the series everyone wants.

#TridentsUp

If Mariners make it to WS, any day after a game should be a state holiday.

Or at least a mandatory late start.

Please make this happen @derekmyoung.bsky.social

Dynamic pricing- very few got the first round of lottery. Prices will decrease- probably not a lot, but some.
If it follows CWC, may decrease to actually be reasonable.
Trying to judge based on 1-2 days of data is skewed at best.

It's Cascadia week in the PNW.
Yet, media is talking nonstop about Seahawks, UW and Mariners.
Mariners I get, but really?

Pretty sure more people care about Cascadia rivilary than watching UW get smashed by OSU.

I ask a version of this question to others many times. People complain futbol is slow, when the time of the game (90), pace, and non stop movement is more than most American football games.
Yet, American football dominates TV, radio, and others. It doesn't make much (or any) sense.

Logged on at 9, got through in 20 minutes.
If chosen, may not buy if dynamic pricing screws prices, but having the option to buy would be nice.

10/10, no notes

Depends on the draw obviously, but it can't be any worse than Berhalter?
Poch hasn't shown much in terms of improvement, but most of it is on the players.
An interesting question... I doubt Schmeitzer would take it (or be offered) but a good thought experiment nonetheless.

I wish this wasn't as big of story. Brian said it right as it takes away from the true story- the dominance of Seattle. I hope this isn't the only thing people outside of Seattle remember from this game.

It's wild USMNT ignores the Pacific Northwest. Huge fan base- dedicated supporters.

Sounds like Pochs Spurs when they went to the Champions League final.

But, point taken.

Following the Seattle Sounders victory, should their head coach (Brian Schmeitzer) consider the USMNT job?
He has won every club trophy available in North America with Seattle (minus CWC), and often plays without full starting 11. Knows MLS, knows American style, should USMNT consider him?
