Welcome to the Sounders FC Postmat Show. Sounders FC Soccer is brought to you
by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC. The Sounders FC
Postmat Show starts now an advance and the Sounders have advanced a one nothing win
tied at Luminfield over FC Dallas. They're in the Western Conference semifinals against LAFC.
Let's head down to the field. Christian rolled on with Michelle. What
can I talk about it? Thank you Jackson, Christian, Congratulations on the
win. It seemed like it was an emotionally charged match. How would you
describe and break down your teeth performance tonight? Yeah, it was a playoff
game. You felt the intensity from the first minute. Not a lot of
beautiful soccer, you know, a lot of intensity, a lot of battles,
a lot of tools. I'm just really proud of the boys to fight
through this and to get another clanchee and another win. Another congratulations is an
order in this one specifically for you tonight, mark for three hundredth match with
the Sounders, putting you right behind Ozzie Alonzo and Stephen Fry. Congratulations on
hitting that milestone. What does that mean to you to have such a huge
career moment for you in such a significant match. Yeah, it just means
I'm getting old. Played a lot of games, a lot of meaningful games
for this beautiful club, and you know, I'm thankful to have been given
the opportunity to be able to lead the group, you know, for nine
years now, and hopefully I can play play a few more. Absolutely we
want that as well. Now the wind tonight extends the Sounders unbeaten streak in
the playoffs at home to nineteen matches. What is it about this stadium,
this atmosphere, these fans that makes it just so special. Well, we're
hard to play against at home. You know, we feed off our fans.
Intensity is always there. You know. We we play hard, hardball
defensively, we don't give up a lot of chances, and you know,
we have a lot of quality and we're gonna score goals. So credit to
our boys. Said to come through today onto the semifinals up against LAFC next
won't happen for about two weeks though, because the international break. How do
you guys keep you know, obviously enjoy tonight's moment, We keep a moment
from going so you're ready to go in a couple of weeks. Yeah,
I think get our bodies right first and foremost. You know, it's been
a long year. We played forty plus games this year already and you know
it's taxing. So for us, get our bodies right number one and then
number two, have a good training week two weeks and that'll prepare us for
LAFC. Christian always appreciate the time. Again. Congratulations on the win tonight.
Thank you so much, Christian Jackson back to you, Thanks Michelle.
It's Michelle down there with Christian rolld On. Congrats to him three hundred number
three hundred and rave green tonight for Christian rolled On. I should quickly mention
before we get going to tonight's Toyota the man of the match is Jual Paulo.
Phenomenal game, an amazing assist from Dual paul On. The Sounders loan
go your look at Toyota Dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match.
It is the thirty six minute strike. Al Albert Russnack hits it,
Jol Paulo assists it and the Sounders win by that goal. Won nothing.
Sixteenth clean sheet of the year as well. Bringing it into the postmatch show,
Jackson felt to Lamar Nagel Pete Feeing will be joined by Diego Audio here
in a few minutes. Lamar, I'll start with you in just initial reactions
from what was a tense nerve wracking My post was at about a million,
but the Sounders got it done. Dude, Let's start in opening thoughts.
Yeah, they figured out a way, right, they got their goal,
and it kind of epitomizes this season, right, not a lot of goals,
no prolific goal scorer. They had some opportunities, a few guys near
the PK spot ended up missing, but ended up getting one goal. But
they're also a great defensive team, ended up getting the shutout. I was
surprised with Dallas's no real change the tactics coming out of the end of the
second half. I thought they'd be a little bit more aggressive, and even
as it got into like the seventy seventy fifth minute, you would think,
all right, we're gonna push a little bit more. We're gonna put maybe
one at least one guy on the two center backs and if anything Squeaks is
free, we can release pressure. But they didn't do that. They almost
they didn't sit back, but they also didn't push that high. So that
was a little surprising good news for the Sounders though, good news for the
Sounders. And at the end the last seven to ten minutes plus the stoppage
time, a little nervy. Yeah. Right, they put Tafari up front
and it's a good target. You got probably the best header off of the
game for Dallas. But Christian said it, you know, it's a playoff
game. It's not gonna be pretty. And I think gomaz Androtty must ahead
of the ball about seven or seven times probably in the last ten minutes,
just getting balls out. He and Jackson Reagan and that's old school, roll
your sleeves up in battle. There's not much you can do. And it
looked a little bit like hockey at the end where they're sending the puck down
trying to ice, you know, but then it's right back down their throat.
So good for the grit. Sixteen sixteen shutouts, right, Jackson.
So that's wonderful for Stephan Fry And that's a great win. That's a great
win, and it is unique that we've got two weeks now. But as
Christian said, now get the bodies right and they get ready for Los Angeles.
I love the fact that he called it his beautiful club, right.
And then we talked to Alex Roldon before the game. We talked to Christian
rold On after the game. We got Jordan Morris and Jackson Reagan, two
local kids, right, Josh Detensio local Josh, and kell and Rowe and
a bunch of other guys that they're all local guys, right, And so
that's a great win. The crowd deserves a lot of credit for showing up
and yetting behind their team. And I expect it to be even better for
Los Angeles. Yeah, exactly, because Los Angeles will be coming up in
just about a couple weeks. We believe it's the weekend of November twenty fifth,
twenty sixth, So we'll stay tuned there in terms of that. Because
the Raverreen have officially moved to those Western Conference semifinals against LAFC. Match will
be held to here at Luminfield. The Sounders, you know, they are
the top remaining seat in the Western Conference, so they will host both the
conference semifinal game against LFC and then if they were to advance from that they
would also host then the conference championship then the following week as well. But
in terms of that conference any finals, stay tuned for information in terms of
the match time, the date, we'll have that all for you. Tickets
go on sale tomorrow actually November eleventh to ten am Pacific time, so tomorrow
at ten am and if you're listening to this on the podcast version and it
will be Saturday morning, ten am November eleventh at the SOUNDERSFC dot com slash
tickets to grab yours together as one we march forward to the Western Conference semifinals.
And yeah, I mean you look at this match and the Sounders had
a lot of chances Lamar. I mean you think about you know, there
were a number of occasions where whether it was JP or Jordan or Albert,
they get the ball right around the top of the box or right inside the
box and they either put a shot in the case of I believe it was
I want to say it was Albert in the first half puts it wide left,
or Jordan you know, smashed one. Christian had one Shortan smashed one
in the second half that was wide right of the goal at the north Endie
exactly. JP had the great chance to the goalie. There's all these chances,
and it sort of is like you play the law of averages, right,
If in the game against LFC you get all of those chances, including
Restnack's goal, I would bet, just based on the law of averages,
now more than one of those goes in. If you play like you did
against ALFC. Yeah, I mean i'd have to agree you think. I
mean, even in the first half, shots for eight to zero, that's
when as a player and as a fan, you're seeing, all right,
we have one zero lead. They haven't had any chances, but you do
start to get nervous. Yeah, But in the second half they came out
and did a great job. I mentioned at the beginning of this that I
didn't think Dallas did a great job of kind of that transition in the second
half and starting to press a little bit more. But the Sounders, we
have to get credit to them because they did exactly what they needed to do.
Just like I said a pregame was, if it's all the same,
then I could see Ladero coming in. You put in some experienced guy to
kind of kill the game, and he did awesome. The energy that he
brought on was amazing. I loved seeing him just give absolute everything for that
second half. Yeah, it is terrific. I'm with you. And now
he gets another. Yeah, shot at it right with Los Angeles. And
you know, Jackson, you were saying, Okay, he'll probably come in
at the sixtieth minute. Well he didn't come in until the seventieth minute.
Those ten minutes for the wrong attitude and the wrong kind of player turned them
off. He did not get turned off. He came on, as Lamar
said, with good energy. And it's I used to come off the bench
once in a while, and when you're confident coming off the bench, you
kind of look at your teammates like, all right, here we go.
We're gonna we're gonna get better. You did the same. Come in,
I'm gonna give you a spark, and he kind of took the bowl by
the horns there and directed the last seven minutes. If there was a heat
map of this game in the second half, thirty eight thirty nine minutes,
it would have all been in the Dallas half. But in the last seven
minutes we were we were pinned in for a little bit, and so Seattle
did really well to weather it and knew who rebounded, didn't he Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I had a great game, And I think that's always
gonna that's always gonna happen right end of any game. If one team is
out, they're gonna get pushed for it, especially in playoffs. This is
the last opportunity they had. I thought that would come a little bit sooner.
But kudos to the Sounders. Yeahously, so they kept them on the
back foot and moving forward tonight to the Western Conference semifinals and a couple weeks
against l AFC. We'll continue talking about this one did nothing win tonight over
FC Dallas here in the first round of the playoffs. Should be noted this
first round was a best of three. All the next rounds all the way
through them. One this cup is a one off with overtime. Weird situation,
but right with overtime, Yeah, yeah, exactly were extra thirty for
the next round. So, like soccer, back to back to it.
Yeah, that's exactly right. We'll take a break here on the Bust Match
show. We'll come back and continue to react to the one and nothing win
tonight. I'll mention Sounders e FC Soccer is presented by Providence Swedish official health

Derek Fane here with my friend Ron Hyder Hyder Construction and Ron procrastination kind
of is just human nature. But procrastinating on replacing your roof, well that
could be very expensive. Goodn't it it? Sure? Can? You know?
I have a friend Leo, who was adamant that he would be the
last house in the neighborhood to re rough, and I would tell him,
Hey, you know you don't want to wait too long. Well, we
finally did his job this summer, and guess what we had to replace all
the plywood on is rough and it added a lot to the cost. Now,
I will say Leo has a new presidential roof and he loves it,
and he says it's the envy of the neighbor. But don't wait too long.
If your roof is old and tired, get it done before you have
to replace your plywood. So be like Leo. Call Hyder Construction. But
don't be like Leo and wait until you have to spend thousands extra getting dry
rod out of the plywood. Hider Construction four two five seven seven one thirty

into Russneck and it's a goal, but don'pin goal for the Sounders on a
must win nights out of nothing. It's Russnick who finds the gold in the
back of the net. Just put the sounds won't goal up on the night
Sounders using that goal or Emerald Queen Casino play the match score that one and
they win by that one. Is taking care of business brings you in.
The Sounders took care of business to with a one nothing playoff winner of REFC
Dallas. They move on to the Western Conference Semifinals in two weeks against LAFC
and the Play of the Matches presented by Emerald Quin Casino, the betting capital
of the Northwest. Let's start quickly with this segment by talking about that play,
because it comes, as Danny said, out of nothing. It comes
off of a restart. But Joel Paulo themar that ball, and I know
the afthlet TV broadcast cut to a replay and didn't actually show it, but
we all saw and that ball from Juel Paulo to Russneck was just sensational.
Yeah, I think just taking advantage of a mistake. Right. We talked
about I talked about it being difficult to break any team down when they're in
the low block, and where does it come from? This opportunity, you
know, didn't come from that. They were trying to stretch, made a
mistake, and you have two great players who actually made the most of it.
And that's what it's gonna take a lot of the times, is somebody
doing something special. And Joffellow had a great pass right and behind the defense.
Rizniek recognized that he could get in behind and ended up making a great
shot perfectly weighted past. Those are not easy to finish, right You're kind
of coming across your body and uh, and we saw it here in Game
one where Ferrera had a couple of chances. Yeah, right, and you
just it really is funny, you know, you think about the game,
you think about all the shots Seattle had versus what Dallas had, and it
comes down to one guy executing right and keeper comes out, pauses a good
job, gets a little bit of his leg to it. But that's the
difference maker. You know what guys in that in that one moment of the
quality because that ball is easy to kick out a bounce right for JMP,
puts too much weight on it, pause, comes out, cuts off the
angle, easy to kick out of bounds, hard angle for his neck to
come across the left foot to get it, hit it back across the goal,
and you think of all the chances that the Sounders had, that was
one of the harder, harder, harder ones to finish. But like you
were saying, the probability of something going in when you have that many chances,
something's going to go in. Now on the other side, I think
Lamar you mentioned this and I think it was a right total right in the
first segment was how Dallas in the second half. We expected so much more
from them, And you know, honestly, if I'm a Dallas fan right
now, I am, you know, looking at Nico Estevez and saying,
what were you doing? Because that pressure just really didn't come at all.
I mean, their first shot of this game was in the eighty ninth minute.
They didn't press numbers for it until like five minutes to go very weird.
But at the same time, it's one of those things where we didn't
expect them. We thought it was a chance they sit in the low block
and they kind of just say, we'll play for penalties. They didn't do
that, and probably some of that's giving up a goal in the thirty sixth
minute. But it was just interesting to see how how Dallas built offensively,
especially without Hayeshu's Ferrara. It was confusing at times. They still had a
couple of chances thanks to a little bit of nervy moments there from Jackson Reagan.
But overall, I think overall you got to look at the Sounders defense
and said, you came up big in the moments you had to come up
big. I wonder how long they had before they knew Issus Ferrera was out
and how they had to prepare and understand because it seemed like it seemed like
the tactics should have been maybe a little bit different. I talked about guys
on their team stepping up because they were missing some of their their top players,
and that can always be a caveat for anybody to end the season as
well. You know, we we limped into that last game. But also
the players that did come and sit on the field, they nobody showed that
special moment there was an anybody that stepped up, right, Like, who
could we say their best player was. I'm not sure I could pick somebody
out right. Well, and again, sixteen shutouts, right y? Yeah,
but yeah, no difference maker, no guy that makes you nervous or
makes you makes you feel like at any moment. But I did feel when
they put balls in the box and we're quite direct, maybe not pretty,
but it puts Seattle on their heels, backpedaling toward their own goals. So,
but kudos to the Sounders. You know, I think Brian Schmetzer said
it yesterday practice at the three to one loss at Dallas. He said,
hey, you got to give them credit. And tonight the Sounders they created
the chances. Uh so they earned the win, right and and there's a
reason We're in second place in the Western Conference, right not where Dallas is.
So onto l A, onto LA in about two weeks for sure,
you know overall, you know, Jackson Reagan, I just wanted to communicate
this that at the start of the game he played a little bit nervy.
This is his first ever you know, winner, go home, do or
die whatever we're do, want to use playoff game. You know, last
week doesn't really count because Dallas was you know, if Dallas went, you
still have a game three, right, So this was Jackson Reagan's first ever
you know, winner take all playoff game. And I think you saw that
at the very start of this game. But you certainly saw him calm him
down as the game went on. And I think against LAFC, I think
all those nerves will be gone. He's now a veteran enough to be able
to stand up big in a game like LA f C. In the semi
final, we're joined by Diego Audio here diga before we hit a break,
just really quick, just your opening thoughts and get your take on the one
and nothing wins tonight at REFC Dallas. Yeah, let's uh there you go.
Yeah, Well then super thing. It's obviously the win. We talked
about it during the pregame. Right at the end of the day, even
though it's a one nail, the result is there and you advance their next
round. Obviously, I think the last few minutes the Sounders suffered more than
they should because especially they dominated the entire game, and you know, but
that's that's how soccer is, right. I think now you have to think
about, Okay, we have you know, I would say almost two weeks
to as a break and then think about the next opponent and it's it's you
know, LAFC. So that's gonna be a different challenge. And I think
now the Sounders is going to be a I would say that's a bit the
biggest challenge that they're gonna have in this season. So I think it's good
also to recover, I would say, players are healthy, and also to
think about, you know, different alternatives also if things are not working right.
So yeah, I had the chance to talk to nicolode actually after the
game. He was definitely he said like he wants to play more minutes.
Obviously, you know, being on the field, he understands the decision for
match metter well, so he's looking forward to that match against LAFC, and
hopefully he's one of the biggest players in that matchup. Let's take a break
and let's talk about LAFC ahead, because we've seen that a couple of times
this year. Draw up here in Seattle lost down at LAFC where the Sounders
were down like five starters. So we'll talk about exactly the offensive powerhouse that
is LAFC, the wild match that we will have ahead here in two weeks
at Luomanfield. More next on the postmatch show Sports Radio ninety three point three

behemoth that is LAFC. They finished as a three seed. They were in
the CONCACAFF Champions League Final. They kind of embarrassingly lost that series. Diego,
I'll start with you. This is an LAFC team that finished third place
fourteen ten and ten fifty two points one below Seattle, fifty four goals scored
uh and thirty nine given up. They are a very very good soccer team.
Yeah, as we were saying the previous segment, that's the biggest challenge
the Sounders are gonna have this season, and it's a I mean one of
the good things though is it's it's here, right, it's at lumin Field
that game and that definitely it's you know, plays an advantage for the Seattle
Sounders. Also when you know historically when they play against l a FC in
MLS playoffs, Sounders have done it. You know, they've been able to
do advance, right, So so I think it's gonna be a good test.
Definitely, there's some things they need to fix, especially in the back.
I think we talked about doing the game. I think there's some enforced
errors that they need to to fix, especially when you play against an LAFC.
You have a Deni Buanga who's you know, top goal scorer of the
of the league and he's not gonna miss right if he has one shot.
So I think that that's also how to tight tighten spaces in the back,
but also play their game. Ball possessions got important for for you know,
to take it away from a good LAFC team. Pete, what have you
seeing from from LAFC well, you look at Bolonga upfront with twenty three goals.
Vela has got nine goals, but he's also got thirteen assistans. It's
just a very very good team. When you look at their roster, you
think of what Garth Logerway used to say, and we're built for this,
right And they're kind of with Geeling at the back. You know he's coming
near the end of his career. But that's good leadership. It's a very
good team. We've had some pretty fun playoff games with LAFC during the Bob
Bradley days. Seattle went down and beat them in Los Angeles. So now
at this point, like this game here, I mean, this is a
Seattle team that's top of the table against the Dallas team that's near the middle
to the bottom, right in the eighth, ninth place, and LAFC is
going to be very very good. So and it's one game, so we've
got to come in and you know, we created a lot of chances today.
If we'd gotten two goals, it could have been an easier path.
So I think the margins get tighter as we advance through the playoff bracket.
Yeah, I'm excited for this game. I think this is going to be
diego. You said it the game of the playoffs, especially for the Sounders.
I kind of like how we match up, Like, yes, they
have very, very dangerous people, so we can't make those mistakes. I
thought the Sounders tightened everything up, especially compared to last game. We're at
home, Michelle said, nineteen home game win streak in the playoffs, like
in regulation, like in regular two years ago, already twenty eighteen in Portland.
I don't believe in that streak personally, but that's nice, but still
having a great I like this regulation. That's funny. I heard that's that
I had to pick it out. But anyway, I mean being at home,
Jackson, like you said, thirty three thousand people, this is going
to be an amazing game. It's going to be amazing. I mean I
expect, you know, a it'll be a weekend game, so I think
you'll get a little bit more crowd than that. Be its conference semifinals,
it's the next round. I need no reason, come on, people,
Like if you're listening, you're on the Sounders FC dot com slash tickets Tomorrow
morning tickets on sale ten am. Get your seats. Let's pack this building
with forty thousand plus people, Let's make l EFC walk in here and from
minute one feel this environment, feel this crowd and hear you know, blue
sky want to I want to feel the crowd coming up. I thought it
was helpful today, the difference the extra three four five thousand walk ups right
or single teas. There were a ton of single tickets tickets. Yeah,
I thought it made a big difference. I thought Brian, I know,
Brian Schweitzer said it yesterday. He was really pleased about that, and the
players responded. When we started going the last ten minutes and the crowd started
getting behind it, you could feel it coming. So's it's an important thing.
And then we would get a chance to host the next round, right,
I mean, that's pretty fantastic. We've won an MLS Cup here in
this stadium, and you know with each round I hope the crowds get bigger
and bigger and lamar, I mean when a playoff atmosphere the crowd regular season
is nice, but you have forty thousand for a playoff game. I imagine
as a player on the field, you feel, as I was gonna say,
for anybody that thinks that that's just not true. That crowd like it
