Speaker 1 (00:00):
He had to just compose himself.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
He was standing with the ball in his hands for
the best part of three or four minutes. And now
Andrew Thomas is gonna have to shrug off that little
bit of pain. I'm sure that's throbbing through his left hand,
and he's gonna have a little word with Triantis.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And he's gotta stand right there. The referee is gonna
have to manage this.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
So what Andrew Thomas does, He says, pulling his socks up.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
He has four or five yards away, yeah, three yards
away from the kicker. Referee's trying to force him back
to the goal line. He decides it's time to fix
his socks and I'm sure he says a few things.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And Transis is now bouncing the ball, try to get
himself composed. He's got a hammer of her right foot.
So I would hate to think what it would do
to Andrew Towas' left hand if he has to make
a save.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
But we know that Andrew's a tough guy. He will
do what needs to be done.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Here comes Triantis, takes a little step to his left,
comes forward to his right foot.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Straight on the ball to save, and he went in.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
He made saving He just scooted by him.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It was the power maybe of the shot, and you
made the right move. He's having a little smile. But
that's two out of two. Oh, it just kind of
went a little bit high, just you almost jumped past it.
It was a brilliant step by Andrew Thomas.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
But there comes Jordan Morris.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Now, Jordan Morris, penalty number two for the Sounders one one.
Minnesota missed their first, scored their seconds. The Sounders missed
their scored their first. Now as Jordan Morris stepping up,
referee just putting his thumb up, as Sinclair's having a
little word about whether football is placed on the penalty spot.
(01:40):
Here comes Jordan Morris, steps forward, strikes it off the crossbar.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Missus Minnesota right back in it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Jordan went setting the goalkeeper the right the wrong way
and then just lift a little bit too high, hits
the crossbar.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Hey yay, that's three off the crossbar for the Seattle
sound Ers.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
In in these uh labor post crossed don crossbar yet
Jordan crossbar.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's one one two pounces each one miss each one
make each Andrew Thomas has gone the right way both times.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
If you're just joining us off.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
The first forced miss, well like he injured his left hand,
did something to his finger this location, and maybe we'll
left to wait and see. But Andrew Thomas still in
the sticks. It comes, Gen strikes it bottom corner. Andrew
went the right way again. It's a good.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Jump by Andrew.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's a fingertip away from making a save. But I'll
tell you what. The ability to get to where the
ball's going is in the head. Now I think of
Minnesota and now the sound just have to be composed
and make their shots absolutely all right, So we've made
that shift. We are live now on the stream channel.
(03:04):
Jackson Felt's nice work, nice work.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
And nice worked to and and Mike Oaks and everybody
back at KGr IS.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
We're on and here we go.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
This game, all right, well, here we go, Minnesota leading
two goals to one, Sounders now with their third penalty,
one miss each so far. Jackson Reagan is now up
to take the third penalty for the Sounders. Scarfs waving
behind the goal, Saint Clair moving screaming at Jackson Reagan.
(03:37):
Can Jackson can keep his composure. He steps up and
puts it top corner.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Oh brilliant.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Just pointing his finger to Saint Clair, say take that one, sir.
He just lifted it. Saint Clair went the right way.
Then he just went up high. Great goal, great penalty kick.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, out a step and then just upper the Here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Comes young Morris Duggan.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Again.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
We're seeing a side angle here which you want to
confirm the number, but I believe it's Morris Duggan based on.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
His gate.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, I think it is twenty four MLS draft pick
Marshall University made that mistake for the second goal from Masoska.
Now he has step up three steps away with his
left foot. Now he steps up towards Andrew Thomas down
in the middle. He goes call penalty by Morris Duggan,
(04:34):
Andrew went to his left.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Dugan went down the middle, just passed it down the middle.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Minnesota lead three goals to two, and we're onto the
fourth penalty for the Sounders. And now it's Ryan Kent
on the field for about twenty minutes for his first
minutes for the best part of three months, and now
it's been in pressurized situations before, of course with Liverpool Rangers.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then about you, Saint Claire's having a little word with
Ryan Kent.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So Ryan Kent places the ball in the penalty spot,
just tucks his shirt in, takes a breath, scarves up,
takes a few steps back, three or four steps, takes
a breath almost by his side.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Saint Clair moving on his goal.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Life, Oh, upper ninety. Brilliant penalty, I mean brilliant penalty.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah, very similar location to Jackson Reagan. A lot of
confidence in that boy. When you think about you have
twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
The margin for error is quite small, but if you
get it right, goalkeeper's got no chance.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Big play by Ryan Kent. Al right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Fifth penalty three to three, three makes each one miss each.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And now it's Captain.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Michael Boxhall's been the thorn in the sound of side
in some ways, putting these all these long throws, but
never really capitalize on anything. Now he's gonna step up
and make this penalty. And this is the fifth penalty
four Minnesota. So basically in sudden death time. Now Andrew
Thomas on his goal like, arms up in the air,
can he make a save? Boxel steps up, goes down, low,
(06:20):
rolls it into the bottom corner. Andrew went to his left,
the ball went to his right, and now Paul Rothrock's
gonna have to take the decisive fifth penalty. Here, you
gotta make this one. All the season's over for the Sounders.
That's gonna land on the shoulders of young Paul Rothrow,
hometown hero. Can me just take a breath because he
(06:46):
just has a nice ry smile. I think the way
that Paul played the last couple of years, He's gonna
really enjoy this moment. It's not gonna get overwhelmed. But
Saint Clair's just doing his antics now. So Paul Rothrock
fifth penalty for the Sounders Minnesota lead four to three,
has to score for the Sounders to move this forward
(07:11):
to the sixth penalty. Referee said, that's okay. Rothrock, just
gonna get a reset.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's a little bit of issue with placing the ball
on the spot.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Happened a couple of times now, but here comes Paul
Rothrock has to score. Takes a breath, arms by his side.
Sounds players in the halfway line have their arms wrapped
around each other. Here it goes, Paul stepping forward, Saint
Clair bouncing on his goal line, strikes it right in
the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Sainclair went one way, Paul.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Went the other way, and now Andrew Thomas has another
chance to make a save and potentially give the chance
for the sixth penalty taker for the Sounders chance to
try and wrap this one up. It's going to be
Harvey four Minnesota number sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I feel a save coming.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Okay, here we go for Andrew Thomas to save.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
To clarify, all right, So Carlos Harvey came on as
a sub. Now Andrew Thomas has got a chance here
in the sixth penalty. It's four to four. We're in
sudden death. Now Minnesota are up first. Carlos Harvey signed
from Phoenix. Rising pressure is on his shoulders, steps forward,
(08:37):
roofst down the middle and now Georgia Manono is gonna
come forward. And now we've got to get to the
part of the lineup is does Andrew Thomas get a
chance to step up?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Georgia min go walks up.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Sainclair having a word again and just playing these antics.
I get it, but there's a point where it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
A little bit too much.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
What he just said was is it over?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
If he misses loud enough for Georgie Manongal to hear that.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
There comes Georgie kisses the ball, puts the ball in
the penalty spot. Saint Clair just gonna bounce around. Georgie
needs to be composed. His right foot is moving towards
his left. He's gonna go ark his run like Danny
Labor does sometimes. Here he goes, arks his run, makes
the run, little set of staff strikes it.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh, it's in. Saint Clair went to his right. He
almost made the save and.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Just parroed it into the side netting. And Georgie takes
a big sigh of relief. Yes, he goes in the
bottom corner. He should have made the safe, should have made.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
So similar similar to Andrew Thomas.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And I think that was he Yeah, sure goalkeep with
the ear.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Sho make the safe?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yes, I would say he sounded doubtful of that.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
A word all right?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Here comes market Nick now scored that third goal for Minnesota,
nine goals on his campaign so far this year. Left
footed play against Andrew Thomas. Can he make the safe?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yes he can.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Andrew Thomas springs to his right, makes the save and
now Obed Vargas called into the Mexican men's national team.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He has the opportunity now to end it. He scores,
the Sounders win. We move on. And it was a
really poor penalty, very poor penalty.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Bay Market Nick Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I expect better from that left foot of his A
little bit casual.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And here comes Obed. The crowd now are building volume.
Coulduling wrestled down below us. He's trying to egg him on.
This is for the win, sudden death. Ohbed Vargas against
Saint Clair. Oh Bed steps up, lit stutter step off
the post.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
He stutter step.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
He's said him the wrong way and he missed off
the post.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
For off the post.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh goodness, gracious, he's gonna live.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
He's gonna really reflecting on that missing did all the
hard work, and Saint Clair just kind of stayed maybe
and just put its slight bit of hesitation and doubt,
and oh Bed misses. And now Hassani Dotson Federal Way native,
has a chance on this eighth penalty against Andrew Thomas.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Sony steps up that.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Who makes the save again?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Two saves in a row, and now who's up.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Dere Zario, gold scorer in League's Cup semi final, gold
scorer in the League's Cup final.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He came on as a sub.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And now he has the chance to win it for
the Sounders.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
What a great say from Andrew Thomas, going the right way.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
You mentioned it. He's put doubt.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And Ase just needs to take a breath.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Help Sinclair's is gonna try and.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Put him off, and I think this one is just
gonna wrap his foot up as a yellow card for Sinclair.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Here we go, a be here, a young man.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Referee just gonna get involved. It looks like it's on
the penalty spots, so I'm not quite.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Sure what the big issue is, all right, Ozarse, here
we go, young men, be a hero. Volumes up, take
a breath. Now he steps up and it's a save.
It's a save by Sinclair. Four saves or four misses
(13:21):
and the last four penalties, two on each team. The
Sounders have had two back to back chances to win it,
and now it's Andrew.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Thomas, and I think it's against.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Long one a now and if the Sounders are just
gonna console Derrozario. Here Drosario took no hesitation, she just
stepped in hit it just didn't hit it particularly cleanly.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
And now Long one Air.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Thinking about those misses of his teammates, Andrew Thomas has
made the right save to his right twice. Now on
one A now just takes three, four, five, six steps
back with his right foot.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now he steps forward and Andrew Thomas make the safe.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh were the right way, and now it's gonna be
Alex rolled On struggling with what looked like an injury
that he was carrying.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And without that injury, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Alex would be up there in the top five taking
the penalties. So now needs must and it's gonna have
to land on Alex rolled On. This is gonna be
the ninth.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Penalty six'.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Five Minnesota sounders need to score there to keep their season.
Alive it's at the foot Of alex Rolled. On he
steps forward and then it goes brilliant By. Alex brilliant
By Alex. Rolldan and this couldn't land at the goalkeeper
us now and it Is Saint clair is going to
have to take. This So i'm just looking down two, four, six,
(15:07):
Eight so it's ten versus ten of course because of
the ten. Men now it lands on the, goalkeeper goalkeeper versus.
Goalkeeper If Andrew thomas could script, it this might be
the way he put It andrew Against Saint. Clair Saint
clair did a brilliant, job and now it's going to
land back On Andrew.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Thomas my gut tells me he's going to put his
foot right through the.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Ball HIRE i would.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Agree Saint clair did a little stud of step rolled it.
In andrew went one, Way Saint clair went the. Other Now,
andrew with an injured, hand already made a number of.
Saves now the volume picks. Up has to score this
to keep The.
Speaker 1 (15:50):

things that happened tonight That seattle would love to have

guys on this team are veterans who have RAISED Mls

large group Of sounders hands sitting by me and we
all just gave each other high. Five so a ton
of solidarity down here on the, sideline watching the guys
as the PK's were going and Watching.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Steph really a huge highlight was watching him rude On
Andrew thomas and.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
Try and give him some coaching from as far back
as he, Could Tommy dutro doing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):

mean we're right there with, You.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
KILEY i, MEAN i mean the let's bring you in
and you, KNOW i, mean this is this is heartbreak
all around because this team we saw for so many,
stretches started this game first ten, minutes how how good
this team can be when they're on and it's JUST
i heel. You all the fans next year are certainly
saw it. Too this team could have gone.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Far it, agreed and oh.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
My, Gosh i'm, sorry, guys it's pretty, loud just Because
minnesota's you, know obviously they're excited and you, know congratulations
to their. Side it was definitely a chippy series and
that is for. Sure, Uh i'm gonna take off my
journalistic integrity hat for a.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
SECOND i have some choice words for their.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
GOALKEEPER i think eventually he may need to be humbled as. Well,
uh you, know some of the THEATRICS i would agree
With Danny.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Jackson not my, taste but you, know well, deserved well
earned by.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Them and you, know it's a tough.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
Loss we're gonna this is gonna be a hard one
to swallow o for a.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
While but at the same, time there's really nothing to
be ashamed.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Of, yeah it just didn't go quite go our way.
Tonight it.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Didn't AND i think that's one of the, things you,
know where where you look back at this, game you,
know it's. FUNNY i think back to season ending losses
and we bring in the whole group a Here pete
Viewing Danny.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
JACKSON i think back to seasons past that have ended.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
In a certain, heartbreak and you, KNOW i think back
to twenty eighteen the penalty gets shoot out lost To Portland.
ATLUMENFIELD i think back to twenty one the loss at
home TO rsl where they didn't get a shot but
they still beat us some. Penalties you, know you just
picked the year, right and the feelings coming out of
(23:22):
those games and anger and sadness and and all these different.
FEELINGS i almost feel like devoid right now of emotion
given what we just, watched the ninety minutes and ten
round of. Penalties BUT i think the lasting feeling coming
out of this one is is funny Enough pete the
tagline of This playoffs, unfinished Where i'm almost LIKE i
(23:48):
had the feeling at the end of twenty. Eighteen i'll
let you jump in. Here it's LIKE i had the
feeling at the end of twenty ten and twenty. EIGHTEEN
i just wanted to punch my hand through a. Wall
it's the Angriest i've ever been as a sports fan
in the history of my, life even more Than Super
bowl forty nine and a twenty. ONE i was angry and,
sad and this it's it's it's entirely. Different ALL i
(24:09):
want to do is get to Next February. MARCH i
want to get, back AND i want to get back
to the, field AND i want to restart games BECAUSE
i THINK i wonder how the ViBe's gonna be in
the locker room with those.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
GUYS i wonder if other people share.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
It maybe they, Don't BUT i feel this team is,
unfinished and this is this is a, team and this
is a lineup and a roster that can do special
things when they're.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
On, yeah no.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Question this is a squad that has a lot of
experience a lot of, talent and they are gonna be,
very very. Disappointed this is why we play the, games you,
know is that you don't know who's gonna come. Out
that's why everybody shows, up Right and and soccer is
a funny. Game it is one of the few sports
where the better team doesn't always. Win And i'm not
saying That seattle was the better team necessarily, today because
(24:58):
you got to Give minnesota. Credit got three, goals it
took care of business on the penalty. Kicks but it
really does got you as a player or a. Coach
when the thing is over and you realize that the
season is, over that locker room will never be exactly
the same changes happen in professional. Sports so players will
leave this team and and AND i Think Brian spencer
(25:21):
will look at it and, say, look you gave everything you.
Could we didn't finish opportunities that he wishes we would,
have that they wish they would.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Have.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Players you, know we had a couple of really good
chances early in the second, half a good block On
Christian roldon's, shot and and so you, know it's one
of those things where again you show. Up people show
up to these games because you never know who's gonna,
win and you know and when you and when you
are on the losing. Side and we've all been on
(25:52):
that losing. Side it's really it is really. Painful so
the airplane the locker room now is probably very very.
Quiet brian's probably saying a few, things thanking of, guys
but the plane ride will be a really quiet plane ride.
Home so tough situation and what an event full, game,
(26:13):
right to see the way the scoring, went to see
the way the penalty kicks. Went to See i've never
seen a goalkeeper do whatever he did to his finger
in the penalty. KICKS i haven't seen ten pks in
an awful long. TIME i haven't seen five balls go
off the post of The how many penalty kicks would
it have?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Been it would have been.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Fifteen five went off the, post you, know thirty. Percent
that is quite an unusual, statistic, Right so it's a
it's a tough.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
One, YEAH i would just, say what's the hardest in
games like? This you use, it you, know as a
coach and a, player you and playing is is when
you reflect and what could have? Been, RIGHT i think
unfinished is a good word for. It it's just what
could have. Been is is certainly the feeling The sanders
will happen is the manner in which they, played when
they played on the front, foot and the way that
they played and the think about the balls off the
(27:04):
posts in the k during the ninety minutes Of ruzneck they. Played,
obviously they proved themselves to continue to play at such
a high. Level they obviously won one championship this year
With League's. Cup, CERTAINLY i think you get through, this
you go to one game playoff situation where you most
likely probably travel if It's San, diego or host if It's.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Portland but for The, sounders it it's such an abrupt
finish to a.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Season it's just they're gonna there's a bit of, disbelief
probably like the muscle memory is to get, home rest,
up to get back for another week of practice and.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
That but that's. It they're.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Done they're done until preseason next, year and then obviously
there's a lot of work to be done by the
front office staff and the coaches have to figure out
what that looks.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
LIKE i maybe it's just me and may you guys
tell me If i'm cuckoo right? Now BUT i JUST
i have this unusual feeling of of AND i wonder
if any player players shared of let's, go let's get
back to.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
It this is unfinished, business and and you know. IT
i it's.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
WEIRD i haven't had this feeling at the end of a,
season maybe, ever because maybe it's the way it. Ended
BUT i want. IT i want to get the offseason.
CAMP i want to get the. PRESEASON i want to
get back in games because this team is good enough
to make a run even next year the way that they're.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Built that might be the, mindset but they did play fifty,
games so they need to break fifty. Games fifty games
is the game which is which is part of the
progression of a professional.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Team at the highest.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Levels right In, europe teams are playing an awful lot of,
games so there's a learning curve that comes with this many.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Games when you think about play by, player they will
have to reflect on what was a good, season a great?
Season you, know individually you think like players Like Steph,
fryan how many more records that he?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Broke you go.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Through players Like christian Rolled on not only just the
number of appearances now he continues to take by seven
c assists man of course as well second all.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Time ladero breaks into the men's national.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Team most likely is gonna be as part of the
conversation if a part of the squad to go Into
World cup next. Year The sounders can be very proud
players like Oh bed now in the men's national team For.
Mexico he'd made that break, through maybe at a critical
time for. Him Jordan morice becomes the all time record
goal scorer for The, sounders and the list goes on and.
(29:24):
On so there is lot to look back on with
some joy and some with smiles and good. Memories but
it's things and it. Hurts it's gonna hurt for a little, while.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
And especially for Old bed And. Osaza, yeah for.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
BOTH i reflect on those penalties and you, know it's their.
Question pete is probably gonna be Like, god just step
back and just smack, it you, Know but you, know
could it would have should have all questions you could
ask yourself and anything in, life and there's things we
could have done.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Better but you gotta give credit To.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Minnesota they went down ten, Men they were two nil
down in the first eight minutes and then they scored
three on the bounce with ten, men.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It's time to have the difficult.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Conversation there's a couple of difficult conversations to have here
on the postgame, show and, actually let me just get
a couple of things out of the way. Here we'll
mention that there's so many different things to mention. Here
sounders E Fc sockers presented By, Providence swedish official healthcare
partner Of SOUNDERS. Fc, also unfortunately it's, over but this
season when The sounders, won you won a Free michick
(30:28):
in the next, game exclusively in the McDonald's app with Any.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Minnium two dollars.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Purchase but you can Still downald McDonald's apt to day
and check out the deals waiting for. You we'll also,
MENTION i, mean we could do The Toyota man of The.
Match that could be any one of a number of.
Players some really good start to this game by a
lot of. Guys here's WHAT i want to do as
we kind of continue on the postgame, show and they'll
let us know and we have to get the heck
out of. Here the difficult conversation starts with what you
(30:56):
were saying, There.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Danny his team was a man. Up they were two goals.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Up they were up to nothing early and they were
a man up with the score two to, one and
they let in two goals and went down three to.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Two a man.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
UP i know that there's going to be a lot
of angry fans over the offseason who are very angry
with why couldn't we lock this thing? Down pete and
being a man up not give up two goals put
the game.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Away that's going to be a.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Frustration and even AS i talk about it, now the
feeling of can't wait to get back just is evolving
back into devolving back into the pissed off element of
how did we give up two?
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Goals? Up a? Man they scored? Him Thanks? Pete, Great,
danny no go.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Ahead danny just said that you got to give them some,
credit right they.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Didn't how do we not MARK i mean that guy
because because they're good, markanics we're up a Man. Markanish
that's what he. DOES i, wrote that's what he. Does
he gets to the back. Post we're a.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Man how are we not marking a guy to the
backs post when that's what he.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Does, yeah you're, right but but he got to the
back and the same can be. Said the same can
be said for The minnesota, guys, saying how Can masofski
be that?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Open how Can Jordan morris be that?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Open, Right so you look at it and you, say,
well and even you, know that was a great.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Layoff we did it to them three. Times they did
it to us three.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Times so it's one of those, that, yes totally, agree
we can't allow that to, happen but it does because
these are professional soccer players and if you give them
half a, chance they're gonna put it.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Away, well that's the things is that the chances to
win were, there whether it's in regular time putting the
game away upper. Man they had chants in the first
ten to fifty minutes of that second half to really
put it. Away they're playing on the front, four their
pressing really, well they weren't just sitting. Back they had
chances off the posts and all. Sorts and, yes they
also had two chances and regular penalties.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
To win the.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Game, yeah and it landed them the foot of Oh,
Bed it landed the foot of a zaz and you,
know but that's the nature of. It there was a
slug fest for ninety plus, minutes eight minutes in the
seven minutes in the first half eight minutes in the second,
half the sound has managed to claw it back and
it just yo yoed back and. Forth but one of
you guys mentioned, it the business side of. It there
(33:21):
is a business side of it. Now, yeah, Unfortunately and you,
know as much as we love each and every one
of these, players there's gonna be players who are not
gonna be here from their own. Decisions there's gonna be
players who make decisions for themselves and what's best for their,
career what The sounds need to do relative to salary
caps and. Moves there's gonna be some, changes and you, know,
(33:42):
yes we're gonna have to take a moment and some
time just to process and just absorb and. Reflect but
there's gonna be some, changes And i'm sure some of
those things are start coming out in the coming.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Weeks. EXACTLY i feel like there's the five stages of.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
GRIEF i feel Like i'm going in the reverse order right,
now WHERE i had the acceptance of, like all, right
let's get back to, it let's, go and then it
devolved into the, anger And i'm going to devolve again
into sadness because here's the other hard conversation we have
to have that might have been the last game For Stephan.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
Fry and you, know we.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Look at the business side of things and we See
Andrew thomas getting the nod for, penalties and we Know
Andrew thomas signed a large contract and an extension Last,
may and he's obviously burst onto the. Scene he was
the goalkeeper Of Leak's cup and absolutely was incredible Throughout Leak's.
Cup he was incredible in these penalty. Kicks and we
(34:33):
can't wait for the future Of Andrew. Thomas but as
much AS i can't wait for the future Of Andrew,
thomas we do need to have the, hard very sad
it really kind of, just you, know the honest conversation
of maybe the Greatest seattle sounder of all, time the
only player to have won literally, Everything Stephan. Fry maybe
(34:55):
this is it for him And pete that's it's a
hard thing to. Grasp, well, YEAH i. DON'T i don't
know that that'll be figured out. QUICKLY i think we
do have two terrific goalkeepers With fry And. Thomas it's
hard to say it just, REALLY i Think steph's had
(35:17):
such a terrific. CAREER i think it's one that, he
Like Casey, Keller DO i want to do this another?
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Year? Right?
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (35:26):
DO i? DO i want to?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Continue AM i performing at the LEVEL i want to
be performing? At he can answer. THAT i can't answer. That, so,
yeah it'll be interesting to see. You and that does.
HAPPEN i mean that. Happens there's gonna be a day
When Lebron james ends Or Steph, curry, Right and so
it does.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Happen it's just part of.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Sports players at some point have to walk, away you.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Know And steph has had such a storied, career you,
know so many different, records not just this year but
throughout the, years and memories that he's created for our,
base of, course but there's going to be a chance
for him to. Again you can't make these, decisions But
i'm sure these decisions have been swirling around his head
for some, time and he's going to make some personal
(36:11):
decisions for. Himself you, know the question you, ask CAN
i continue to perform at this? Level does my body
respond and recover and allow me to continue to.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Play he's had a, concussion a very bad concussion this.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Year that's not the. First he's going to reflect on
that and see how he. Feels and you, know kind
of going through the slog of a preseason and off
season and in a, season and of course you've Got
Andrew thomas at some point that's knocking on the door as.
Well so you, know again we can reflect on those.
Questions BUT i Think steph is in a privileged position
(36:43):
where he's going to be able to sit back and
make a choice from a position of, STRENGTH i would,
say because he has continued to perform at such a
high level and you, know she kept, him and he's
going to be in a position where he'll have to
make a choice what's best for him and his.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Family it's and that's one of the, things right is
because he's built this, house you, know on On Bambridge,
island and he's become such a huge part of the.
Community we, know he has artwork and and you know
he's big in the crack AND i, know and he's
such an important part of The seattle sports community that you,
(37:19):
KNOW i don't WANT i don't want.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
This to be an.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
End and it's one of those things where it's it's
such a business and there's these decisions are so hard
and there's so many different factors that go to go into.
It from budgets to you, know rosters and all those,
things and it's just it's just it's incredibly hard to
think about that part of, it but it's just the
reality of. Sports let's let's wrap this up here in
(37:44):
the next couple of minutes and and we'll go around
and we'll get get everybody's thoughts on on what is
the end of The sounders season with a ten, round
ten round penalty kick shootout. Loss this team was up
to nothing inside of eight. Minutes, uh they were up a.
Man minnesota, equalized and they took the lead on set,
pieces set pieces and more set. Pieces sounderstorm Back Jordan
(38:07):
morris ties it.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
In the eighty eighth.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Minute we go to, penalties ten, rounds two chances to
win it For, seattle they can't do, it and ultimately
It's Saint clair hitting And Andrew thomas kicking it off the. Bar,
interesting if this is the start Of Andrew thomas's you,
know tenure being the starter In, seattle does it start
with him in this penalty could shoot out laws and
(38:30):
going off the bar with that? KICK i, mean there
is a certain poetry to. That if this is the
start of The Andrew thomas. Run but you, know, Look Pete,
danny we'll wrap it up here in final thoughts as
this season has come to an end in heartbreaking fashion
here tonight At Leons field In.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Minnesota, WELL i would say, THIS i mentioned it in a minute.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Ago it's been a season of, growth, yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Right The Club World cup was significant because we were
playing some very important teams that we all recognize that
the world recognizes are some of the best and competing
and doing quite, well and then having to bounce back
throughout the season to play this many, games to have
change of lineups so.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
MUCH i think this is.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
The deepest team that we've ever had with The Seattle
sounders as far as players coming off the bench that can.
Contribute players have had to step up when there's been
injuries or national team call, ups and so it's been
a very very good. Year it's been a long, year
AND i think there's a lot to be proud of this.
SEASON i think players coaches can feel good, that you,
(39:35):
know we never step on a field without the intent
to win the. Game there's not a game THAT i
can think of where The sounders have, said even games
where we've played younger players or you, know, guys maybe
that we've pulled up from the defiance. Team the expectation
has always been that this is a team that's going
to go and, wins so really hard to end this.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Way And danny you mentioned.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
It you know if all of a, sudden now it's
a one off, game whether It's portland Or San, diego
you're gonna look at this season and, say that was
a team that could have.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Gone and you know we beat we Beat.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Miami in The League's cup, final, right what if we
end up playing them again in THE Mls Cup, final
if we got to that. Spot so that was a
good year that didn't. Happen it was a good year that.
Happened it was not a great year in the postseason
for THE Mls. Cup BUT i THINK i. Am i'm
very proud of the. TEAM i really am in the
coaches as. WELL i think they fifty games is an
(40:30):
awful lot of games to play and compete every single.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
Time, YEAH i.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
WOULD i think growth is a good word peak BECAUSE
i think it's not just as a team and as
an organization we're maturing as we continue to, do but
also just the. Players when you think About Coloney, Coos
rienzi coming in to really kind of, compete and how
he Pushed alex rolled on that then elevated his game
and he had a great year this. Year Did alex
(40:54):
you think about players like oh, bet how he continues
to mature as a teenager and now he gets a
chance to go and off with the men's national team
For mexico in this upcoming international windows play some. Games
same thing For christian the ability for him and his
kind of shifting to that central spot twelve months ago or,
so and how he's anchored that now and has become
(41:15):
really a solution for the sound as that we were
looking for for so many years and it was the right,
time right place for him to go. There and now
he's in the men's national team picture as we prepare
for The World, cup with the expectation he'll be In
seattle with that squad of players to compete in the
group stage for The World.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Cup ozazi Der. Razzario who would have thought he.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Gets a chance to step up and score in The
League's cup semi final and. Final Danny massovski career year
with seventeen goals eighteen goals with one, tonight of, Course
Jordan morris breaks the all time scoring. Record he could
go on and on and on each, player AND i
think they have to be able to take this, disappointment absorb,
it take the time it takes to get, there let
(41:54):
their body, heal go through all their different conversations with
coaching staff and each other and their, families and you,
know we'll see what we g end up with In
january next. Year and next year is gonna be, interesting,
Right they're gonna rip up the field At Looman field
where the sound you, KNOW i don't know what the
solution is off of the, sounder is that they can
play on that surface quick or they're going to be
going somewhere. Else and that's all things that the front
(42:15):
office staff have. Done and obviously the front office and
Agent hannah and his group have got lots to consider
and think. About when the news comes out where The
sounds looking for outside, investment how does that evolve the?
Club and so on and off the. Field lots of
exciting things to. COME i Think sounds in a great.
Spot they were the best spot in they were this
So i'm last, year and they'll continue to be the
best spot in a year from now onward.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
Forward Seattle.
Speaker 6 (42:37):
Sounders we shall move forward into twenty twenty six with
our heads, up, heartbroken, sad, angry. Accepting i've felt it
all throughout this postgame, show And i'm sure we will
feel it all As sounder fans over the months. Ahead

to continue to be a lot of emotions as the
