(00:22):
Sounders FC. The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now to.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The final from Colorado Sounders one Colorado Rapids one. They
split the points down in Commerce City tonight. Welcome into
the postgame show. Jackson Phelips, James Riley, Marcus Hanneman, as
we're here for the next half hour to break this
thing down. In my goodness, there's a lot to break down.
I don't even know exactly where we want to start.
(00:48):
We can start with the fact that the Sounders should
have played the entire second half a man up were
it not been for a horrific decision by our referee,
Alexis da Silva. We could start with Danny Mazowski scoring again,
third goal in three games. We could start with Jordan
Morris going down in the eighty ninth minute. He just
(01:09):
came back from a hamstring injury on a big run
he goes down again, comes off with his head down.
Or we can start with the fact that we just
got another road point and this continues to be this
unbeaten run where Sounders are now coming home. We're coming
off of back to back wins over Dallas Nashville, and now.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Draw on the road.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
James, where do you want to begin of all of
that and more?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Always with the good always point on the road in
Colorado at altitude is excellent and you just move on.
You get the guys into the locker room, right, get
cleaned up, have your debrief, and you get on with it. Obviously,
the injury with Jordan's unfortunate, but it's a point on
the road in Colorado, Whi's not easy, and it keeps
the unbeaten streak alive, which is fantastic, and you return
(01:50):
home next weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Marcus, where do you want to start?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Well, I mean it is a great point away from here. Yeah, right,
But when you're up one zero in a game away
from home, you should be able to figure out a
way to get away with some points right and disappointing.
I mean, goals happen, and especially you know away from
away in Colorado. You know teams there and they were
creating chances all first half as well. Right, a little
(02:15):
lucky with the post and you know just the way
it is, right, but Sounders held strong and we're able
to come out with at least a point from that game.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You said a halftime I think something really smart. You
were talking about, how listen on the crosses in the
corners are you know? Our zone marking was not working
and Colorado was getting positions on both of them, and
they just kept getting these opportunities over and over and
over again, and it didn't change. And we continue to
see Colorado getting the positions, you know, And Mitchell, if
you have the highlight right now, just because we're on
(02:44):
the topic, are we got to get to our emerald,
Queen Casino play the match, because this was another occasion
of a moment where Colorado get positioning and it is
because of the heroics of Stephan Fry that Seattle ends
up with a point. Finds Kevin Fosse side looker put
the whistleg's mouth, he doesn't bull comes in.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Hand, a good save by Fry at the death here.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
In Colorado makes a critical save, as he did last.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Week against Nashville.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Great from Stephan Fry. The Play of the matches presented
by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest.
But Marcus to that point, he takes heroics from Stephan
Fry because Colorado guys just kept getting positioning all game.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, and you know, Colorado's a bigger team than Sounders.
We don't have you know, our center backs are big,
but other than that, we're not massive, right, so they
were hitting good in swinging corners, putting Sounders under pressure
all night. Stephan Fry didn't wasn't able to come for
across until the dying minutes of the of the second
(03:44):
half as well, because they kept putting people on top
of him. Right, So now Stef's fighting with a center
forward in front of him, and he wasn't able to
get a half a yard where he could then make
that move and come attack the ball. So Steph was
staying home all night. Although those balls were just right,
and they were really good balls just outside the six.
So if that ball is inside the six and goalkeeper
(04:07):
can't always come for it right, there's circumstances like maybe
the ball's too good, too low, there might be somebody
in front. But when that ball's just outside the six
and you've got somebody standing in front of you. You got
to get around him to get there. It's very difficult
to make for a goalkeeper to make a play on that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, stuff made a couple good plays in this game.
Kept at one point one and Seattle has the point
on the road one to one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Final score.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Tonight's let's continue. Obviously there is good and getting the
result in the road in general is good, but let's
some specifics from this game to talk about. I want
to go and talk about Alexis to Silva, the referee tonight.
I don't know sure if you guys care about talking
about this. I care about talking about this because I
am a fan first. I will always be a fan first.
And what we saw was Jackson Travis, the full back
(04:55):
for Colorado, gets a yellow card in the first half.
In the forty seven a minute, he very clumsily runs
into and kicks Orbisk. He just steps into Obed Vargas's shin.
You start to see Alexis to Silver reach for the
yellow card. You actually see his hand go to his
pocket and then he you can almost watch the realization
(05:16):
in his face of oh this is this kid's second yellow.
He takes his hand away from the pocket and goes
with talking to It is the most clear cut, freaking
yellow card I've ever seen. And I mean what I
wrote here is pathetic, horrifying, terrible in a word that
I probably can't use here on the air about Listen,
if it's a yellow card at any other point in
(05:37):
the game, it's a yellow card. If it's a second
yellow card, it's still a yellow card. James Marcus makes
sense of why the heck this is a legitimate decision
that he makes to say, Oh, you know what, I'm
not gonna give it to you, because it's a second yellow.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
If it's a yellow, it's a yellow point taken it is,
it's a double yello. It's an easy call. And you see,
the ref doesn't matter what minute of the game. If
a player has a deserving tackle or incident that deserves
a yellow, whether it's his first or second, it should be.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
With that said, with that a doubt, I also agree
it should have been a yellow. A thing that I
always tell my players is control what you can control.
I think as you go to that you can't control that,
you can control your reaction to that. For me, you
had Russnack with your best quality chance in the second half.
That's one for me where you test the goalkeeper. It's
in the eightieth minute. Hit it with lace. He tried
to hit it with laces. For me, if you put
(06:30):
that almost anywhere on frame, it's a goal and that
was good. The quality of it was Jordan that kept
it alive. Russnach got it on his right foot, which
is clinical. We all like, absolutely clinical, and maybe tried
to overhit it. Just needs to be anywhere on frame,
hit on the ground, have it skip up. But to
your point early, without a doubt, it should be a
double yellow. They should play up with a man man
(06:51):
advantage the sounders and at times, honestly sometimes that's even difficult, right,
So it's not clear cut when you're playing in a
ban up it would just to.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The entire it scores a few minutes later. It's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Marcus, Well, yeah, but referees are always tailored terrible. It
doesn't get me too excited anymore, although there was there
was a time where I definitely I think I'm still
the only MLS player to be sent off from the bench.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Amazing, But to James's.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Point, Sounders only had three shots on target against a
young keeper, right, And you know there was Knew who
had a chance to have a shot from long range.
And I don't really you know, particularly think Knew who
should be shooting from long range, but you know he
probably should be. You've got a young keeper, like, we
need to get stuff on target. Corner kicks weren't good enough, right,
(07:46):
All our set pieces weren't good enough. We had a
chance to get a ball into a box, what do
we do We play it sideways and then it fizzles
out again. Right, Too many short plays where that ball
and this needs to be whipped in in swingers put
that goalkeeper under pressure for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
The Sounders for me, had five clear chances in this game.
In the first half. It was Jesus and then you
had roth Rock that had an opportunity and then you
had the goal, right, great opportunity there. Second half they
had two legitimate opportunities eightieth minute the Russnach volley and
the eighty ninth minute counter where Jordan unfortunately got injured.
And it was interesting because I thought he was going
to play russknack the whole time. I think he tweaked
(08:25):
it on the dribble, and the easiest play was to
maybe go to roth Rock and if maybe the Russnat
continues to run to the back post, it goes there.
But honestly, when I'm looking at it, I'm like, he's on,
He's on, He's on, he's on, He's on. When he
played roth Rock, I actually was like, well, I didn't
see that. I think maybe when you go back and
see the replay, he may have tweaked it right before that,
and it's more difficult to maybe plant and play there
(08:47):
than to just a little outside of their foot flick
and then he goes down.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's the hammi for Jordan, because he just came back
from the hammis.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So that could be. But for me, those are their
two best chances of speculations. Well, we don't know, yeah,
we don't, we don't.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We don't know anything, right, Yeah, but see him going
down is with no contact. That's that's no good Rothrock.
I thought he should have shot at first time. Yep
and fresh Rothrock in the first twenty minutes, the first half,
but the end of the game when he's up and down,
sprinting all over the place in Colorado, he's got big
(09:20):
old sprint and you know it's laid out for him.
He's got a decent angle, right, I mean, I think,
just have a go, have a go from just outside
the aighteam and then he's thinking I'm going to take
a touch and then he hands up with the shot cross,
you know, because there's a guy making a run to
the back post and I know exactly what he's thinking.
But I think if he shoots that first time, test
that goalkeeper. Just keep testing him. Right, We've got a
(09:43):
young keeper only tested a few times in that game.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that had eighteenth minute chance from Haesus Ferreira where
he's ten yards out, middle of the box, no Colorado
player within five yards of him, and he just skies
it to the moon. I mean we talk about, you know,
shots on goal, which is you said five, right that
h three three?
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Great?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So three that number should easily be five when you
consider Rusnack in the eightieth and then heyesus in the eighteenth.
It's just it is frustrating because I think, ultimately, yes,
it's a point on the road, we should be happy.
But at the same time, I think a lot of
Sounder fans, myself included, are ridiculously frustrated that this wasn't
a full three points for multiple reasons from our own
doing and also, of course, from the fact that we
(10:22):
should have been playing a man up for the last
forty five minutes. Okay, we'll continue on the post game
show a lot still to get to you talking about
this game. We' of course got a look ahead to
what's ahead next weekend Saint Louis City back at home,

Now back to CLL Saunders Soccer on Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFL.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Sometimes I wish we had the ability to record what
we're talking about in the commercial break, like the last
three minutes. I want to just copy and paste that
whole conversation. No, but it's good, and I think we
start by talking about what we let off the conversation with,
which is Jordan Morris comes on at the half for
Danny Mazovsky, and my first question was was that the
(14:19):
right call to Considering Danny Mozoski scored in the forty
fifth minutes right before halftime, He's obviously feeling good. May
have been the plan going in for Mazovsky to come on.
For Mazoski to come off Jordan Moores to come on
at the start of the second half. But was that
the right call to make that switch if that was
still part of the plan right there at the half?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Well, he took that stupid yellow early on, Yeah, right
when the defender took a dive and you know he
was upset and frustrated and he boots the ball away.
Automatic yellow?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Right?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Was did Schmidz think if we go down to ten
men here, right, let's get him off, good time to
bring Jordan on? You know, all these different things, right.
I don't know what factored into that, but that could
have come to play.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I think it's really smart the fact that, yeah, they
yellow for Mazovsky. If for everybody's saying why didn't you
keep Moose on that, that certainly probably played a role
in that. Then let's move forward here. I will mention
that tonight's toyon a man of the match is of
course we played there in the first segment, Stephan Fry,
what a save to get the seattle to point there
in the ninety fifth minute With that save, your local
(15:22):
Toyoto dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match.
And there really wasn't much that Stephan Fry could have
done on the Mahailovich goal that equalized the game in
the fifty fourth minute. It's a free kick, a Yamar
foul giving up and then Mihailovich from right outside the
box goes low underneath the jumping wall, low to the
left and no chance for Stephan Fry into the back
(15:43):
of the net. And there's kind of a couple points
here of a how good Fry was today and then
also be that specific goal. We can talk about Fry
and we can talk about the good here in a minute,
but specifically that goal. What did you guys see on
that play?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Well, you've got a set piece right, it's nineteen yards out.
It's difficult to get that ball up and down make
him beat you. That's the first thing. Like you don't
need to jump right. The wall needs to be strong.
But again if you just if you see the balls
going high, jump and me and we were talking earlier
(16:19):
about why he did that go ahead and obviously they've
seen the sounders while be jumping because he ran straight
over to.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Chris Sharp, Yeah, their goalkeeper and set piece coach when
I was there, and Mahalovich jumped into his arm. So
certainly they had an idea of how the Sounders utilized
their wall.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Why was there not maybe like a knew who laying
down underneath the wall to protect against that.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Well, well it looks stupid, that's one reason, but it
would have worked probably, Yeah, But still I think like
if for a goalkeeper, you're standing there, you take your side.
For them to get that ball up and down you
usually they can't get enough power on it. I can
now take one or two steps make you know they're
going to have to put it in the top corner,
(17:05):
which is really difficult. And you know, I made a
living out of being a goalkeeper, not by being the
best goalkeeper in the world. I made it really difficult
to be scored on, right. I made people shoot in
the top corners. I saved everything around me. And that's
what Stephen Fry does as well. He makes it difficult.
You put in the top corner, you're going to score
on him, right, Okay, well you have to shoot in
the top corners, right, you have to make it difficult.
(17:27):
And what's more difficult, hitting it over the wall with pace,
bending it up and down into the top corner not
going to happen.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, certainly, you play the percentages. I agree, that's how
we set up our wall. We don't have a guy
laying behind it, We just have them. The wall can
jump a little bit, but not enough that you allow
a ball to go under you, and not obviously if
you're playing on dry turf versus wet grass. We know
Commerce City is very slick and do and it's a
fast paced game there. And then you have your goalkeeper
take care of his side. So you trust your wall
(17:55):
and you have your goalkeeper take care of his side.
If he's able to get it up and over the
wall and beat your goalkeeper, you apply and then you
move on. But similar to what you know Marcus said,
he's made a great living out of it. You're just
playing percentages. Try to give that that. You know, the
offensive opponent the least percentage, the least opportunity to get
a goal. Until Yeah, very unfortunate to give up that goal.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, And I guess credit to the Colorado goalkeeping coach
and set piece coach Sharp, Chris Sharp, Well done to him.
Clearly figured that out for Seattle, that jumping wall and
got it in. But other than that, Step and Fry,
very very good tonight. Outside of you know, the out
even with that goal, I mean, there was just nothing
he could have done. But overall, Fry deserving of Man
(18:36):
of the Match. I feel like.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That's Fry being Fried, like I thought he was exceptional.
Like Fry being Fry, he makes difficult saves look easy,
and like Marcus said, and he'll speak more of it,
he just saves everything that he can't The goal was
the only thing that he couldn't get his hands to
right the wall, everything else that he was challenged with
in and around here, he made saves up until the
(18:59):
eighty ninth ninetieth minute to keep the team in it
and get a point.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Now the injury, injury time save, you know, top corner
that he was able to deflect out als go on
top corner, you know, it just didn't have enough pace
on it to beat him. Right, He's able to take
one two steps push off, make a really good say
great save.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Indeed, play the match and Man of the Match Stephan Fry.
Thank him for the Sounders coming away with a point
as it's a one to one final there for the
Sounders in Colorado tonight, I'm gonna remind everybody every single
segment that the Sounders should have been playing a man
up for the second half. I'm just gonna I'm gonna
stay on that. Alexis da Silva. How dare you not
give a second yellow? All right, we'll look ahead to
what's coming, and that is Saint Louis City at home
(19:36):
next week. We'll wrap up the pre match, we'll wrap
up the post match show and look ahead to next week.

should have been playing a man up for the last
(23:07):
forty five minutes of this game, were it for a
better refereeing job by Alexis da Silva. We move on
here in the postmatch show. I'm going to continue doing that.
I'll probably do it on Sounders weekly, every single segment too.
I am not going to let my foot up from
that horrific decision in the forty seventh minute. Okay, next week,
the Seattle Sounders will be back home to host Saint
(23:27):
Louis City SC at Lumenfield. It'll be a seven o'clock providence.
We just prematch show seven to thirty kickoff. We will
have the match right here for you Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM folks. You can also watch at
MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app and listen
in Spanish language on LRA thirteen sixty. And now we
do not have any confirmation of what's going on with
(23:49):
Jordan Morris. We were kind of unsure of exactly what
his status is or may be here moving forward. But
I think one of the things that we can look
to is how Brian Schmitzer organizes his team when it
comes to Hayesus Ferrero, when it comes to Peter rid
O Vega, when it comes to Albert Rusnak, and do
we move to a back four to fit an extra
(24:09):
midfielder in there? So, James Riley, Marcus Sannamon, I guess
we'll kind of just open the discussion with the question
of James, you're a coach with Ballard, with all of
these talented midfielders, what would you do if your head
coach Brian Schmitzer.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No great question, I think Unfortunately, I think the injury
makes it a bit simpler. I think you can go
back into a four to two three one, especially at home.
The interesting thing will be I know Saint Louis has traditionally,
especially for this season, played a back five, so they've
been very defensively focused. But I think at home you
can push it a bit a four to two three
to one. I think you're able to get your your
(24:41):
players on that need to, with Mashassi at the point,
Russnack behind it, Jesus Dela Vega, and then your two
holders in Ovid and rolled on and then you're back
four from New Who to Ye Mark, kim Kahe and
you can even go Alex or Klannie, but that gets
you into more of your traditional preferred lineup, especially coming home.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
If you're asking me lineups, it's always going to be
the same answer, four two four two.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I mean, like when one thing that you can do here,
you know four four two, which I think is a
legitimate thought, is to then put Hayesus up top next
to Masovski and allow Haysus to kind of play off
Mazosky and kind of you have a very different type
of players and allow I mean, the original thought this
season was a four four two with Morris playing and
(25:31):
Farrah playing off of each other. You can have Farra
playoff Misovski the same way. Kind of different style of
players I think might might work really well.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah, and then you can I mean I love the
four four two because you could have two out and
out forwards, right, you can have one sitting in low
if he wants to come back get the ball. But
that that's dictated by the players and what they like
to do, right, And you know so much we're like,
we're trying to dictate what what's going to happen in
the game. Well, you can't because you know, you sometimes
(26:00):
you just can't get the ball, you know, or sometimes
the team's defending differently, you have to play where the
players are. So four four two is easy for a
goalkeeper to organize. You know, you got it back for
in front of you. You got another four and then
the other two. They don't matter, right, they do what
they do what they do, And I got these these
eight guys I can work with, right, and so it's
(26:21):
just easy for me.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean that makes sense too, because what you could
do is you can put Christian Roldana on the right
to play, you know, a higher line than his brother.
You have dala Vega on the left, you have Rus
Snack and obd Vargas, you know, and you can even
form a diamond there in the middle if you you know,
put one up, one back. It's it's all there, James,
I mean, it really is there. And then you you
get more playmakers on the field, and you keep Mazovsky on,
(26:44):
you continue to reward him and he's been doing great.
Hopefully you can get four and four. But I mean joking, Marcus,
joking as out of loving the four forty, it actually
makes a ton of sense for the talent that Brian
Schmitzer has right now available to him.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I mean, the four two three one can easily shift
into the four four to you just have rushed now
numbers right steps higher and it and it is that.
But for me, the solid area of the four two
three one is what essentially won the group the conker
Caft Championship. You know what, It's just it's just one
of the that's been tested and proven with your double pivots,
and then you can form you know, in possession, out
(27:18):
of possession, you can you can be different. But certainly
the four four two, whether flat more so the diamond
possibly is making a big comeback. But traditionally it's funny
because we've had these conversations with about internally, you know,
four three three four two three one, starting about the framework,
and then you're trying to get your best players.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Then you're trying to you have one like what you
traditionally liked it and be in And I'll say, okay,
four three three, four to two three one. Last year
we were in a four three three. We may be
shifting to fit our players, get our players onto the field.
So you're right, so it's always player centric as well,
but you do have to have an established framework. But
I would say the four three three, four two three
(27:59):
one and the or four to two are the three
most widely played. We even looked at a three back,
just not as widely played anymore. You know, and you
have you have to be very dialed in on your
rotations and positional profiles and roles and responsibilities. But I
think a four two three one for the Sounders fit,
especially with the injury. The injuries unfortunate. I think without
the injury, maybe it's a little different, or you just
(28:21):
rotate has sixty and thirty minutes. But I just think
a four two three one suits this group very well.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You sure, you don't want to give any other material
to Mid Lakes or Seattle Junction.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
They'll see plenty of our games. A looking forward to that.
All good groups, all good teams.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Anything else we want to talk about for tonight or
from next week, We're good.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I'm excited to see him back home.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, excited back home. It's a good point. I think
it's good when we're disappointed that we don't get the three.
But all in all, we said, yeah, the guys will
be in the in the in the locker room, they'll
get cleaned up, they'll get back to the hotel. What
have your get on the flight, and it's a point
wipe your hands and you get on with it. And
you're at home week, all right, and the sun's out
in shadow.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah weather, it's turning, and we're seeing this team now,
you know, win, win, draw, coming home to face Saint Louis.

(00:22):
Sounders FC. The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now to.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The final from Colorado Sounders one Colorado Rapids one. They
split the points down in Commerce City tonight. Welcome into
the postgame show. Jackson Phelips, James Riley, Marcus Hanneman, as
we're here for the next half hour to break this
thing down. In my goodness, there's a lot to break down.
I don't even know exactly where we want to start.
(00:48):
We can start with the fact that the Sounders should
have played the entire second half a man up were
it not been for a horrific decision by our referee,
Alexis da Silva. We could start with Danny Mazowski scoring again,
third goal in three games. We could start with Jordan
Morris going down in the eighty ninth minute. He just
(01:09):
came back from a hamstring injury on a big run
he goes down again, comes off with his head down.
Or we can start with the fact that we just
got another road point and this continues to be this
unbeaten run where Sounders are now coming home. We're coming
off of back to back wins over Dallas Nashville, and now.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Draw on the road.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
James, where do you want to begin of all of
that and more?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Always with the good always point on the road in
Colorado at altitude is excellent and you just move on.
You get the guys into the locker room, right, get
cleaned up, have your debrief, and you get on with it. Obviously,
the injury with Jordan's unfortunate, but it's a point on
the road in Colorado, Whi's not easy, and it keeps
the unbeaten streak alive, which is fantastic, and you return
(01:50):
home next weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Marcus, where do you want to start?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Well, I mean it is a great point away from here. Yeah, right,
But when you're up one zero in a game away
from home, you should be able to figure out a
way to get away with some points right and disappointing.
I mean, goals happen, and especially you know away from
away in Colorado. You know teams there and they were
creating chances all first half as well. Right, a little
(02:15):
lucky with the post and you know just the way
it is, right, but Sounders held strong and we're able
to come out with at least a point from that game.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You said a halftime I think something really smart. You
were talking about, how listen on the crosses in the
corners are you know? Our zone marking was not working
and Colorado was getting positions on both of them, and
they just kept getting these opportunities over and over and
over again, and it didn't change. And we continue to
see Colorado getting the positions, you know, And Mitchell, if
you have the highlight right now, just because we're on
(02:44):
the topic, are we got to get to our emerald,
Queen Casino play the match, because this was another occasion
of a moment where Colorado get positioning and it is
because of the heroics of Stephan Fry that Seattle ends
up with a point. Finds Kevin Fosse side looker put
the whistleg's mouth, he doesn't bull comes in.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Hand, a good save by Fry at the death here.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
In Colorado makes a critical save, as he did last.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Week against Nashville.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Great from Stephan Fry. The Play of the matches presented
by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of the Northwest.
But Marcus to that point, he takes heroics from Stephan
Fry because Colorado guys just kept getting positioning all game.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, and you know, Colorado's a bigger team than Sounders.
We don't have you know, our center backs are big,
but other than that, we're not massive, right, so they
were hitting good in swinging corners, putting Sounders under pressure
all night. Stephan Fry didn't wasn't able to come for
across until the dying minutes of the of the second
(03:44):
half as well, because they kept putting people on top
of him. Right, So now Stef's fighting with a center
forward in front of him, and he wasn't able to
get a half a yard where he could then make
that move and come attack the ball. So Steph was
staying home all night. Although those balls were just right,
and they were really good balls just outside the six.
So if that ball is inside the six and goalkeeper
(04:07):
can't always come for it right, there's circumstances like maybe
the ball's too good, too low, there might be somebody
in front. But when that ball's just outside the six
and you've got somebody standing in front of you. You got
to get around him to get there. It's very difficult
to make for a goalkeeper to make a play on that.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, stuff made a couple good plays in this game.
Kept at one point one and Seattle has the point
on the road one to one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Final score.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Tonight's let's continue. Obviously there is good and getting the
result in the road in general is good, but let's
some specifics from this game to talk about. I want
to go and talk about Alexis to Silva, the referee tonight.
I don't know sure if you guys care about talking
about this. I care about talking about this because I
am a fan first. I will always be a fan first.
And what we saw was Jackson Travis, the full back
(04:55):
for Colorado, gets a yellow card in the first half.
In the forty seven a minute, he very clumsily runs
into and kicks Orbisk. He just steps into Obed Vargas's shin.
You start to see Alexis to Silver reach for the
yellow card. You actually see his hand go to his
pocket and then he you can almost watch the realization
(05:16):
in his face of oh this is this kid's second yellow.
He takes his hand away from the pocket and goes
with talking to It is the most clear cut, freaking
yellow card I've ever seen. And I mean what I
wrote here is pathetic, horrifying, terrible in a word that
I probably can't use here on the air about Listen,
if it's a yellow card at any other point in
(05:37):
the game, it's a yellow card. If it's a second
yellow card, it's still a yellow card. James Marcus makes
sense of why the heck this is a legitimate decision
that he makes to say, Oh, you know what, I'm
not gonna give it to you, because it's a second yellow.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
If it's a yellow, it's a yellow point taken it is,
it's a double yello. It's an easy call. And you see,
the ref doesn't matter what minute of the game. If
a player has a deserving tackle or incident that deserves
a yellow, whether it's his first or second, it should be.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
With that said, with that a doubt, I also agree
it should have been a yellow. A thing that I
always tell my players is control what you can control.
I think as you go to that you can't control that,
you can control your reaction to that. For me, you
had Russnack with your best quality chance in the second half.
That's one for me where you test the goalkeeper. It's
in the eightieth minute. Hit it with lace. He tried
to hit it with laces. For me, if you put
(06:30):
that almost anywhere on frame, it's a goal and that
was good. The quality of it was Jordan that kept
it alive. Russnach got it on his right foot, which
is clinical. We all like, absolutely clinical, and maybe tried
to overhit it. Just needs to be anywhere on frame,
hit on the ground, have it skip up. But to
your point early, without a doubt, it should be a
double yellow. They should play up with a man man
(06:51):
advantage the sounders and at times, honestly sometimes that's even difficult, right,
So it's not clear cut when you're playing in a
ban up it would just to.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The entire it scores a few minutes later. It's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Marcus, Well, yeah, but referees are always tailored terrible. It
doesn't get me too excited anymore, although there was there
was a time where I definitely I think I'm still
the only MLS player to be sent off from the bench.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Amazing, But to James's.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Point, Sounders only had three shots on target against a
young keeper, right, And you know there was Knew who
had a chance to have a shot from long range.
And I don't really you know, particularly think Knew who
should be shooting from long range, but you know he
probably should be. You've got a young keeper, like, we
need to get stuff on target. Corner kicks weren't good enough, right,
(07:46):
All our set pieces weren't good enough. We had a
chance to get a ball into a box, what do
we do We play it sideways and then it fizzles
out again. Right, Too many short plays where that ball
and this needs to be whipped in in swingers put
that goalkeeper under pressure for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
The Sounders for me, had five clear chances in this game.
In the first half. It was Jesus and then you
had roth Rock that had an opportunity and then you
had the goal, right, great opportunity there. Second half they
had two legitimate opportunities eightieth minute the Russnach volley and
the eighty ninth minute counter where Jordan unfortunately got injured.
And it was interesting because I thought he was going
to play russknack the whole time. I think he tweaked
(08:25):
it on the dribble, and the easiest play was to
maybe go to roth Rock and if maybe the Russnat
continues to run to the back post, it goes there.
But honestly, when I'm looking at it, I'm like, he's on,
He's on, He's on, he's on, He's on. When he
played roth Rock, I actually was like, well, I didn't
see that. I think maybe when you go back and
see the replay, he may have tweaked it right before that,
and it's more difficult to maybe plant and play there
(08:47):
than to just a little outside of their foot flick
and then he goes down.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's the hammi for Jordan, because he just came back
from the hammis.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So that could be. But for me, those are their
two best chances of speculations. Well, we don't know, yeah,
we don't, we don't.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We don't know anything, right, Yeah, but see him going
down is with no contact. That's that's no good Rothrock.
I thought he should have shot at first time. Yep
and fresh Rothrock in the first twenty minutes, the first half,
but the end of the game when he's up and down,
sprinting all over the place in Colorado, he's got big
(09:20):
old sprint and you know it's laid out for him.
He's got a decent angle, right, I mean, I think,
just have a go, have a go from just outside
the aighteam and then he's thinking I'm going to take
a touch and then he hands up with the shot cross,
you know, because there's a guy making a run to
the back post and I know exactly what he's thinking.
But I think if he shoots that first time, test
that goalkeeper. Just keep testing him. Right, We've got a
(09:43):
young keeper only tested a few times in that game.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that had eighteenth minute chance from Haesus Ferreira where
he's ten yards out, middle of the box, no Colorado
player within five yards of him, and he just skies
it to the moon. I mean we talk about, you know,
shots on goal, which is you said five, right that
h three three?
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Great?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So three that number should easily be five when you
consider Rusnack in the eightieth and then heyesus in the eighteenth.
It's just it is frustrating because I think, ultimately, yes,
it's a point on the road, we should be happy.
But at the same time, I think a lot of
Sounder fans, myself included, are ridiculously frustrated that this wasn't
a full three points for multiple reasons from our own
doing and also, of course, from the fact that we
(10:22):
should have been playing a man up for the last
forty five minutes. Okay, we'll continue on the post game
show a lot still to get to you talking about
this game. We' of course got a look ahead to
what's ahead next weekend Saint Louis City back at home,

three point three KJRFL.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Sometimes I wish we had the ability to record what
we're talking about in the commercial break, like the last
three minutes. I want to just copy and paste that
whole conversation. No, but it's good, and I think we
start by talking about what we let off the conversation with,
which is Jordan Morris comes on at the half for
Danny Mazovsky, and my first question was was that the
(14:19):
right call to Considering Danny Mozoski scored in the forty
fifth minutes right before halftime, He's obviously feeling good. May
have been the plan going in for Mazovsky to come on.
For Mazoski to come off Jordan Moores to come on
at the start of the second half. But was that
the right call to make that switch if that was
still part of the plan right there at the half?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Well, he took that stupid yellow early on, Yeah, right
when the defender took a dive and you know he
was upset and frustrated and he boots the ball away.
Automatic yellow?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Right?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Was did Schmidz think if we go down to ten
men here, right, let's get him off, good time to
bring Jordan on? You know, all these different things, right.
I don't know what factored into that, but that could
have come to play.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I think it's really smart the fact that, yeah, they
yellow for Mazovsky. If for everybody's saying why didn't you
keep Moose on that, that certainly probably played a role
in that. Then let's move forward here. I will mention
that tonight's toyon a man of the match is of
course we played there in the first segment, Stephan Fry,
what a save to get the seattle to point there
in the ninety fifth minute With that save, your local
(15:22):
Toyoto dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match.
And there really wasn't much that Stephan Fry could have
done on the Mahailovich goal that equalized the game in
the fifty fourth minute. It's a free kick, a Yamar
foul giving up and then Mihailovich from right outside the
box goes low underneath the jumping wall, low to the
left and no chance for Stephan Fry into the back
(15:43):
of the net. And there's kind of a couple points
here of a how good Fry was today and then
also be that specific goal. We can talk about Fry
and we can talk about the good here in a minute,
but specifically that goal. What did you guys see on
that play?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Well, you've got a set piece right, it's nineteen yards out.
It's difficult to get that ball up and down make
him beat you. That's the first thing. Like you don't
need to jump right. The wall needs to be strong.
But again if you just if you see the balls
going high, jump and me and we were talking earlier
(16:19):
about why he did that go ahead and obviously they've
seen the sounders while be jumping because he ran straight
over to.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Chris Sharp, Yeah, their goalkeeper and set piece coach when
I was there, and Mahalovich jumped into his arm. So
certainly they had an idea of how the Sounders utilized
their wall.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Why was there not maybe like a knew who laying
down underneath the wall to protect against that.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Well, well it looks stupid, that's one reason, but it
would have worked probably, Yeah, But still I think like
if for a goalkeeper, you're standing there, you take your side.
For them to get that ball up and down you
usually they can't get enough power on it. I can
now take one or two steps make you know they're
going to have to put it in the top corner,
(17:05):
which is really difficult. And you know, I made a
living out of being a goalkeeper, not by being the
best goalkeeper in the world. I made it really difficult
to be scored on, right. I made people shoot in
the top corners. I saved everything around me. And that's
what Stephen Fry does as well. He makes it difficult.
You put in the top corner, you're going to score
on him, right, Okay, well you have to shoot in
the top corners, right, you have to make it difficult.
(17:27):
And what's more difficult, hitting it over the wall with pace,
bending it up and down into the top corner not
going to happen.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, certainly, you play the percentages. I agree, that's how
we set up our wall. We don't have a guy
laying behind it, We just have them. The wall can
jump a little bit, but not enough that you allow
a ball to go under you, and not obviously if
you're playing on dry turf versus wet grass. We know
Commerce City is very slick and do and it's a
fast paced game there. And then you have your goalkeeper
take care of his side. So you trust your wall
(17:55):
and you have your goalkeeper take care of his side.
If he's able to get it up and over the
wall and beat your goalkeeper, you apply and then you
move on. But similar to what you know Marcus said,
he's made a great living out of it. You're just
playing percentages. Try to give that that. You know, the
offensive opponent the least percentage, the least opportunity to get
a goal. Until Yeah, very unfortunate to give up that goal.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, And I guess credit to the Colorado goalkeeping coach
and set piece coach Sharp, Chris Sharp, Well done to him.
Clearly figured that out for Seattle, that jumping wall and
got it in. But other than that, Step and Fry,
very very good tonight. Outside of you know, the out
even with that goal, I mean, there was just nothing
he could have done. But overall, Fry deserving of Man
(18:36):
of the Match. I feel like.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That's Fry being Fried, like I thought he was exceptional.
Like Fry being Fry, he makes difficult saves look easy,
and like Marcus said, and he'll speak more of it,
he just saves everything that he can't The goal was
the only thing that he couldn't get his hands to
right the wall, everything else that he was challenged with
in and around here, he made saves up until the
(18:59):
eighty ninth ninetieth minute to keep the team in it
and get a point.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Now the injury, injury time save, you know, top corner
that he was able to deflect out als go on
top corner, you know, it just didn't have enough pace
on it to beat him. Right, He's able to take
one two steps push off, make a really good say
great save.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Indeed, play the match and Man of the Match Stephan Fry.
Thank him for the Sounders coming away with a point
as it's a one to one final there for the
Sounders in Colorado tonight, I'm gonna remind everybody every single
segment that the Sounders should have been playing a man
up for the second half. I'm just gonna I'm gonna
stay on that. Alexis da Silva. How dare you not
give a second yellow? All right, we'll look ahead to
what's coming, and that is Saint Louis City at home

should have been playing a man up for the last
(23:07):
forty five minutes of this game, were it for a
better refereeing job by Alexis da Silva. We move on
here in the postmatch show. I'm going to continue doing that.
I'll probably do it on Sounders weekly, every single segment too.
I am not going to let my foot up from
that horrific decision in the forty seventh minute. Okay, next week,
the Seattle Sounders will be back home to host Saint
(23:27):
Louis City SC at Lumenfield. It'll be a seven o'clock providence.
We just prematch show seven to thirty kickoff. We will
have the match right here for you Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM folks. You can also watch at
MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app and listen
in Spanish language on LRA thirteen sixty. And now we
do not have any confirmation of what's going on with
(23:49):
Jordan Morris. We were kind of unsure of exactly what
his status is or may be here moving forward. But
I think one of the things that we can look
to is how Brian Schmitzer organizes his team when it
comes to Hayesus Ferrero, when it comes to Peter rid
O Vega, when it comes to Albert Rusnak, and do
we move to a back four to fit an extra
(24:09):
midfielder in there? So, James Riley, Marcus Sannamon, I guess
we'll kind of just open the discussion with the question
of James, you're a coach with Ballard, with all of
these talented midfielders, what would you do if your head
coach Brian Schmitzer.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No great question, I think Unfortunately, I think the injury
makes it a bit simpler. I think you can go
back into a four to two three one, especially at home.
The interesting thing will be I know Saint Louis has traditionally,
especially for this season, played a back five, so they've
been very defensively focused. But I think at home you
can push it a bit a four to two three
to one. I think you're able to get your your
(24:41):
players on that need to, with Mashassi at the point,
Russnack behind it, Jesus Dela Vega, and then your two
holders in Ovid and rolled on and then you're back
four from New Who to Ye Mark, kim Kahe and
you can even go Alex or Klannie, but that gets
you into more of your traditional preferred lineup, especially coming home.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
If you're asking me lineups, it's always going to be
the same answer, four two four two.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I mean, like when one thing that you can do here,
you know four four two, which I think is a
legitimate thought, is to then put Hayesus up top next
to Masovski and allow Haysus to kind of play off
Mazosky and kind of you have a very different type
of players and allow I mean, the original thought this
season was a four four two with Morris playing and
(25:31):
Farrah playing off of each other. You can have Farra
playoff Misovski the same way. Kind of different style of
players I think might might work really well.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah, and then you can I mean I love the
four four two because you could have two out and
out forwards, right, you can have one sitting in low
if he wants to come back get the ball. But
that that's dictated by the players and what they like
to do, right, And you know so much we're like,
we're trying to dictate what what's going to happen in
the game. Well, you can't because you know, you sometimes
(26:00):
you just can't get the ball, you know, or sometimes
the team's defending differently, you have to play where the
players are. So four four two is easy for a
goalkeeper to organize. You know, you got it back for
in front of you. You got another four and then
the other two. They don't matter, right, they do what
they do what they do, And I got these these
eight guys I can work with, right, and so it's
(26:21):
just easy for me.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean that makes sense too, because what you could
do is you can put Christian Roldana on the right
to play, you know, a higher line than his brother.
You have dala Vega on the left, you have Rus
Snack and obd Vargas, you know, and you can even
form a diamond there in the middle if you you know,
put one up, one back. It's it's all there, James,
I mean, it really is there. And then you you
get more playmakers on the field, and you keep Mazovsky on,
(26:44):
you continue to reward him and he's been doing great.
Hopefully you can get four and four. But I mean joking, Marcus,
joking as out of loving the four forty, it actually
makes a ton of sense for the talent that Brian
Schmitzer has right now available to him.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I mean, the four two three one can easily shift
into the four four to you just have rushed now
numbers right steps higher and it and it is that.
But for me, the solid area of the four two
three one is what essentially won the group the conker
Caft Championship. You know what, It's just it's just one
of the that's been tested and proven with your double pivots,
and then you can form you know, in possession, out
(27:18):
of possession, you can you can be different. But certainly
the four four two, whether flat more so the diamond
possibly is making a big comeback. But traditionally it's funny
because we've had these conversations with about internally, you know,
four three three four two three one, starting about the framework,
and then you're trying to get your best players.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Then you're trying to you have one like what you
traditionally liked it and be in And I'll say, okay,
four three three, four to two three one. Last year
we were in a four three three. We may be
shifting to fit our players, get our players onto the field.
So you're right, so it's always player centric as well,
but you do have to have an established framework. But
I would say the four three three, four two three
(27:59):
one and the or four to two are the three
most widely played. We even looked at a three back,
just not as widely played anymore. You know, and you
have you have to be very dialed in on your
rotations and positional profiles and roles and responsibilities. But I
think a four two three one for the Sounders fit,
especially with the injury. The injuries unfortunate. I think without
the injury, maybe it's a little different, or you just
(28:21):
rotate has sixty and thirty minutes. But I just think
a four two three one suits this group very well.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You sure, you don't want to give any other material
to Mid Lakes or Seattle Junction.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
They'll see plenty of our games. A looking forward to that.
All good groups, all good teams.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Anything else we want to talk about for tonight or
from next week, We're good.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I'm excited to see him back home.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, excited back home. It's a good point. I think
it's good when we're disappointed that we don't get the three.
But all in all, we said, yeah, the guys will
be in the in the in the locker room, they'll
get cleaned up, they'll get back to the hotel. What
have your get on the flight, and it's a point
wipe your hands and you get on with it. And
you're at home week, all right, and the sun's out
in shadow.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah weather, it's turning, and we're seeing this team now,
you know, win, win, draw, coming home to face Saint Louis.
I'm gonna go spend forty five minutes on my drive
home cursing the name Alexis ta Silva. And that will
