Welcome to the Sounders FC Postmat Show. Sounders FC Soccker
is brought to you by Delta Airlines, proud to donate
one soccer ball for every mile rand by Sounders FC
players this season through Rape Foundations One Mile one Ball program.
Seattle Sounders FC is presented by Dellagher Benefits in HR
(00:22):
Consulting helping businesses, communities and people face their futures with confidence,
and by Provident Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC.
The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, that's a good way to end the regular season.
Three straight wins for your Seattle Sounders apparel, one to
nothing wins and then today in New York City, a
two to one victory. We've been talking about the narrative
around the Seattle Sounders release. I have for the last
few weeks not being able to close out games and losses,
(00:57):
tours sorry, draws turning into losses, wins turning into draws,
Needing to see this team close out a game and
get the full points.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And boy, we saw that today.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It looked for a minute like it was gonna be
the same old narrative. When we had a one to
nothing lead, Jordan Morris puts a goal in the sixty
first minute, Then in the eighty first minute, New York
City equalize a deflected goal, a defensive mistake and a
giveaway lead to a New York City goal makes it
one to nothing. Late, No, we can't see this happen again.
(01:31):
And we didn't see it happen again. Viaz Jackson Reagan.
What a powerful header in the eighty seventh minute to
give your Sounders a two to one win in New
York City. It's gonna be a fun flight back across
the country. This doesn't change anything in terms of seeding.
There's still the five seed. They're locked into that to
face either Minnesota, LAFC or San Diego in the first
(01:54):
round of the playoffs. But the narrative, the monkey off
the back, all of it gone and it's three straight
wins sailing into the playoffs. Pete Viewing, What a game
and what an atmosphere this team has around it going
into the postseason.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Absolutely, you look at the RSL game or down eleven
players and we find a way to get a win
one zero come to New York. We really don't have
a lot on the line except the pride and the
opportunity for players to kind of make their mark and
we find a way to win. Finding ways to win,
especially in postseason is the answer, right, And so Jackson
(02:31):
Reagan's emphatic header was fantastic. He got up, he was strong,
pretty much out muscled, if not through the New York
City defender out of the way, and then he buried
the header and it was a great service from Danny Lava,
which I thought was interesting because Albert Rusnik was on
the field and he didn't hit the service maybe late
in the game and Danny was over there. So Danny
(02:53):
is good at serving those balls in and that's not unusual.
But I thought it was good. I thought it was
good for the Sounders. Danny Jackson just said, you got
to give credit to Craig Wibele and Sean Anderson and
Corey Sinzer for the depth of this squad. We did
not have our two starting center midfielders who are both
(03:13):
you know, just coming off international duty. So when we
come back to postseason, it'll be a great opportunity for
Brian Schmeenster to really and his staff they vet everything
and it's not Brian just making a decision. He's got
a lot of good minds in that coaching room and
they'll come up with a lineup that will be very,
very competitive.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
There's so many different pieces I want to go off,
so absolutely, let me just let me just quickly say
a line since you mentioned Danny Leva, a line that
I told you. I want to say it was before
the game, might have been in during a commercial break
at some point during the game, but I said, when
you look at today and what.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
They're playing for.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And we talked about this in the pregame show, what
are these guys playing for? Because they're locked into the
five seed and you talked about pride and you talked about,
you know, the competition aspect of it and getting in
good run of form and the competition aspect. I kind
of keyed on that and I said, man, you know,
Danny lave is a guy where he's not gonna take
o better Christian spot.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It's obvious. But in a.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
World where Obin Vargas gets sold, Danny Lavis says, I
want to be the starter next to Christian rolled on
and I need to have games and I need to
have performances that tell Brian Schmitzer, hey, I deserve that
spot and today is one of those games where he
can point to it and say, hey, Brian, I had
a great game. And Danny Laves had an impressive year
and his ability to play the ten, his ability to
(04:32):
drop back. I just loved what I've seen from Danny
Lave this year and this and that assists it all
goes into it, so it's great. But Pete, the story
of today and our Toyota Man of the match is
Jackson Reagan, because your local Toyota doers are proud to
present today it's man of the match Jackson Reagan.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Pete viewing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yes, he gets the goal, but I send out on
social media about two minutes before the goal happened. Not
that I'm tooting my own horn, but I will. I
he said before the goal. He's man of the match
for me in a one to one game. And Pete,
I think Jackson Reagan, even without the goal, was sensational today.
(05:12):
And then he puts the goal in and it's just
a no doubt or Jackson Reagan had one of his
best games as a professional today.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
He's been so good on the ball. He's in the
right place at the right time.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I'd add Alex rolled on to being in the right place,
he was the right time and getting rid of ball.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Alex did not try.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
To be cute and play little short, tippy tappy passes.
He got He got to a ball and knocked it out.
Jackson slid and on Morales's shot and forced him to
go wide.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
And so I think, I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I thought he was great and then for him to
get that header and then you missed that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You want to You've always talked about center backs and.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Hitting the ball.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
That's what you like.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I love it because they've got the size.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
He's six four six', five he's physically, strong he's, capable
AND i mean he showed that header right. There that's
his second goal of the. Year and he knows. That
he's heard it from so many, people the, pundits the coaching.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Staff, you, yeah they want. TO i. DID i went
to golfer than one day and, said you got to
get four or five.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Goals they, said you're better Than Walker. Zimmerman you got
to score some goals and uh. Uh and so it's
a thing THAT i think that gives him some. Confidence
we're we've said it already That morris getting a goal
in this Game reagan getting a goal in this game
that was important for their mentality going.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Forward whoever we get in the.
Speaker 2 (06:28):

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Wrapping up the postmatch show following A sounders two to
one win today over At New York CITY. Fc it
will start the playoffs coming up here next, week and
we will see exactly that situation come up in a
moment before we talk about the playoffs. Ahead for a,
moment we do not have a specific, update but we
can say That pedro De vega left this match in
(16:57):
the twentieth minute due to a right knee in.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Injury pete just.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
To kind of go back and talk about what we
talked about on the halftime show with nothing specific other
than knowing it's.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
A right knee. Injury what was your two cents on
what we saw From?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Pedro, well as he, turned he just twisted and it wasn't,
Malicious there wasn't necessarily big contact and when he, landed
just a look on his face and the way he
looked at his knee and pointed at his. Knee it's
one of those, that, again you, know we're four thousand miles, away,
right so so it's total, speculation but it just reminded.
(17:32):
Me it didn't remind me of a, Fracture it didn't
remind me of a. Poll it reminded me of kind
of a weird, thing which tends me to think some
kind of dislocate and we. Did we could see that
something didn't quite look. Right so, again no medical, doctor
but that that was my first. Thought and then based
on and and also based on the way the stretcher
(17:53):
crew was not in complete. Panic it's one of those where,
okay we just got to slide this thing back in
place in this to be two, three four. Weeks but,
again this is a former college soccer, well two, three
four weeks would put it into the, playoffs And i'm
hopeful that he'll come back because he was. Not he
also his, reaction he have the thumbs up as he came.
(18:13):
Off he was not smacking the ground crying like, okay
my season's. Over that did not like look his response
it was, more look at, this that's weird and you
could tell it was a bit of. Pain but, anyway
we'll see what happens and.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Hopefully he gets back really.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Quick we will see exactly what that looks. Like but
for The, sounders they are heading to THE audi twenty
twenty FIVE Mms cup. Playoffs, now today's decision day matches
in The Western conference are kicking off at six pm
that that will determine the. Opponent because our seating for
the playoffs is locked. Up we are the number five,
seed the question is who's going to be the four.
(18:51):
Seed so those matches at six pm are, happening and
we know that we are going to be playing EITHER
Lafc minnesota Or San diego in the first. Round we
are also guaranteed that we'll be hosting the second match
of that first round best of three. Series tickets for
that match will go on sale On, Monday october, Twentieth
so grab your tickets At sounders fc dot com backslash.
(19:14):
Tickets but the opponent right, Now minnesota is the five.
Seed it could BE, lafc it could Be San Diego.
Pete of those three, teams and we've seen them a
bit this. Season who do you?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
WANT i know your rationale and it's hard to disagree.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
With, well, well before you talk about what's your, WELL
i do we have different.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
ANSWERS i want to stay away FROM la for as
long as. Possible, yes, Say belonga And sun up front
are just such a. Handful they scare, me, right but
BUT i LIKE i Think San DIEGO i thought has
had a very good. Year they've tapered a little. Bit
but for, me It's. Minnesota if you can break them down.
Early they have a funny it works when a coach
(19:56):
has a philosophy and the players stick to, it it
can be very.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Effective this is very. Effective they get five at the.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Back they don't care if they have, possession so you
got to break them. DOWN i think we have enough
guys that could break them. Down, okay and So i'm Going.
MINNESOTA i THINK.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I would be with.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You If pedro wasn't a question, MARK i think we
would have the guys to break them. Down they would
still scare me defensively in a situation where defense wins.
Championships In minnesota has a good. DEFENSE i Want San
diego BECAUSE i think some of the aura of their
inaugural season success has worn. Off we beat them one
nothing at. HOME i think that they are not as
good of a team now as they were three four months,
(20:33):
ago AND i want to face and do to them
what happened To Saint louis in the first round of
their inaugural season a few years, back where they you,
know crashed out. Early i'd like to do that To
San diego because they. Haven't they aren't playoff tested like
The sounders are playoff. Tested so that's my two, Cents
BUT i think we are in very very much. Agreement,
(20:54):
pete please KNOW.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Lafc, YEAH i like your comments on. That so, yeah
anybody But.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
La anybody But. La we will see what.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Happens those games kick off at six, o'clock just at
