Up in three weeks, either on November twenty second or twenty third. So here we are with the Sounders advancing wins in penalty kicks in both Game one and Game two. My oh my, Welcome into the postgame show Jackson Feltz, calen Roe Peat viewing. We're gonna go quick, We're gonna break this down. We got a flight to catch back up to Seattle. So Callen, I'll start with you. Let's start with penalties. Let's start right there. And what was a seven for seven performance that ended with the big
Fry heroics. Well, it's not easy to go seven for seven in the first game, go five for five, twelve for twelve and pens is not something.
To kind of scoff that here. It's not easy to do.
And the amount of saves that we had seven Fry, actually I would count to I know that that darn rule of not stepping a toe over that line, but it was incredible. And I think the resilience of these guys to be perfect in such a hard moment after a hard fought game for ninety minutes multiple times now, I think it's it's a testament to the.
Team, no question.
And typically the math is eighty percent that guys will make it, so you would figure that Seattle would miss two somewhere in the twelve. So that is a phenomenal And you know, Brian Schweitzer, we get a chance to talk to him before the game, right, and we talk about penalty kicks because obviously we just saw it in the first game. But he had total confidence obviously in
Christian and Reagan and Alex. He had confidence in Lava, he had confidence in Obit and Georgie, and of course he always has confidence cer and real ideas.
But we're sitting there.
Going, well, you're the coach, you know, right, But these young guys, they grow up when they do this. Obit, Vargas, Georgie, even Reagan, right, even though he's got one under his belt, Lava, those were all terrific penalty kicks, and frankly, I love here's the deal. The good guy in goal prevailed in my opinion, because it because Fry is a good guy. Doesn't do the antics, He doesn't do the you know, in your face, doesn't.
Fry goes to his line where Clark comes off his line. The refereece to keep pushing him back.
He's trying to ice our kickers, and uh, it didn't work right, So the good guy came out ahead on this one. And I'm thrilled for all these young kids. It's really impressive to me. And you know, Brian Schweitzer instills confidence in players, right, especially the young guys. He makes him feel like they can do it. I mean, you put, you just put. Georgie hasn't started too many games in the MLS and now he's taking a penalty kick all.
That in a heated moment.
Moment.
If he missed, there could be a chance that they.
Lose it, that might be the biggest moment of the kid's life so far.
That was an incredible thing, And for me, it was the switch up of the lineup time and then all of a sudden they switched it up. And now I don't know if that was actually a tactical genius of Clark having Raoul going first, he had, you know, Albert going second. He probably had that, and now he's thinking, oh gosh, who was the first kicker again? Yeah, you know, maybe he was a tactical genius by I think Smetzer and probably I'm guessing Andy Rose, who's there, you.
Know, and Tommy Duch trapsolutely brilliant, throw credits rhythm.
But like you said, good guy seven Fry, who's always our good guy.
He's class fails right.
He does things the right way and he know he's picking players up when they're on the ground, and you know, I just like how he operates.
He's been a great pro. But that's you know, the good guy karma.
With credit to Christian roll Don getting that goal there in the eighty seventh minute.
And we will talk.
About the game as a whole, the one in the ninety second Wiet.
We're not gonna We're not gonna talk about it, gosh, Okay, listen, we'll talk about we'll talk about c R seven scoring a brace tonight, just one for the other team. But listen, all is well, that ends well, and we can joke aside and we can all laugh about it now. Yes, Christian Roldan scored two goals and and he scored a great goal for the Sounders in the eighty seventh minute.
But with respect to that, the big save in the seventh round of penalties, tonight's Toyota Man of the Match, of course, is the man in goal, Stephan Fry, your local Toyota Duos are proud to present tonight's Man of the Match, a great job by Stephen Fry. There. We'll take a break here on the postmatch show. We'll come back and talk about the game as a whole. It
finished one to one before penalties. Let's talk about how we got there in the big twists and turns over the final forty five minutes that will come up next year on Sports Radio nine to fifty KM.

Jackson Feltzkelen Roe Peat viewing. All right, as you said the previous segment, Callen, Yes, Christian Roldan had two goals, and he had a great goal in the eighty seventh minute for the Sounders and then the own goal in the ninety third minute that made it one one. So when we look at this game overall and we look at how we ended up getting here, Houston got a red card in the sixty fourth minute as well Herrera's
by spitting at a referee. What are your takeaways? Just in the ninety minutes before penalty kicks.
In the ninety minutes, they wanted to play better. You could see it on their faces when it kind of when the red card came, there was a little.
Bit of a relief.
But we can't keep relying on a red card happening in the middle of the field, especially to an important player for another team. It's just not always gonna happen. It was very lucky these times that someone lost their head and it became a red card. But you know, I think this game compared to last game a home in a way, which is actually funny to have is that we had more attack going in this game. I
think we were actually goal dangerous. There were opportunities, there were shots on goal, there were there was a lot of runs off the ball as well.
I think that was great.
And you saw it in the goal that Christian scored, is that Danny Lava attempted something. It got recycled. Knew who's the you know, not very likely person to get up that high. But he played a one two with Danny Lava put in a good ball and obviously Christian Woldan did the rest. It was not an easy finish as well, coming across his body and putting it to that right side rather than coming back to where it came from, which is actually something that all coaches teach
when you're when you're a child. But Christian Woldan made it look easy. And then obviously I know that those guys in the locker right now are not going to be happy, and I don't think coach would be either. As he's thinking about the game, he's thinking about how it should have gone. Because you're up late in the game,
you're up one zero. All you got to do is anyone you put in all Your whole job is to keep it at zero, and it was a sloppy play in the midfield that led to a good attack from Houston. But I did too many numbers were getting too high, getting too happy, and getting too inexperienced to lose that ball in the middle of field in a dangerous area.
I think there's there's a lot of things.
They can clean up going into the next round that they're going to have to clean up if they're going to play some top end teams at in the Lester Coppets.
Final playoffs are always they're not always pretty right, and and we came into this game, you know, a day ago, we thought we had Albert Russnek right and we were hopeful that Jordan Morris would be available right. So they had to put a team together that was we knew was not going to be able to go in ninety minutes, and they they found a way to win.
And you're right, that last goal is tough.
But you got to give Houston credit because they never gave up, and they had the crowd, you know, pushing them forward. And I'll tell you Dorsey on that right hand side, he's a fun kid, and he's got a lot of energy and he just kept going and going, and he plays a ball across and Christianez. You know, it's just one of those things you're in the way more than anything, and it bounces off you and goes into the back of the net.
So you got to give them some credit. Then there's a flurry.
Even after that, there's about ten twelve minutes of stoppage time where Seattle had really good chances. So in that regard, I think Brian's gonna be pleased about the fact that never gave up, never gave up.
And then found a way to win.
And he's gonna look at Raoul Ruideas and say, hey, you went ninety minutes, then you got the penalty kick. Those are tired legs if you go ninety minutes, especially it's hot and all that. So I think they look at it and now it's a three week off, so maybe we get Jordan Morris back, probably should get Albert back as well, and they regroup and right now it's it's uh.
Well, let's let's leave that as a tease beat. Let's use out of teas because we have news about what's happening between LAFC and the Vancouver white Caps in their game too. We'll take a break. We'll wrap up a postmatch show by telling you who could potentially be the Sounder's opponent in three weeks in the Western Conference Semifinal. That'll come up next following a Sounders Game two penalty
kick win. They're headed through they get past Houston, we'll have more from Shell Energy Stadium down here in Houston, Texas on Sports Radio nine to fifty km zuo zone.

You're listening to the home of Sounders FCS Sports Radio nine fifty KJR.
Welcome back to Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texans, where the Sounders fans are leaving smiling and Houston Dynamo fans are leaving quiet with their season over. The Sounders have advanced with a penalty kick shootout win, just like in Game one, this time it went seven rounds. Stephan Fry with a save in the seventh round, and the Sounders are through to the Western Conference Semifinal. I'll tell you that Sounders FC Soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official
healthcare partner of Sounders FC. SO now comes up the West semi. If they is a one game, it's no longer this best of three series. It will be one game. Sounders are the four seed, so right now they will face either the Vancouver white Caps at home or on the road against LAFC. Now we know LAFC beat Vancouver
in Game one. This Game two is going on right now in Vancouver and the white Caps are leading by a score of two to nothing in the thirtieth minute, and that means if they hold on callen, we could see a big, big Game three between these teams next week winner to face the Sounders.
Look, I love that it's gonna be a battle because obviously LAFC has been on top of this Western Conference as well as LA Galaxy, and they've had the Sounders number this year. So if Vancouver can eke out this this victory here at home in Vancouver and then go to LA and give him a fighting battle, you know, everyone in this booth, everyone's sitting at home listening to us and watching these Sounders games, is gonna want Vancouver rather than LAFC. And now we're gonna let that game
go out. There's a lot of time left and this game is gonna be a lot you know, obviously ninety plus minutes, and then in the following game in the following weekend if it gets there. But it is a positive, positive look at the moment that Vancouver has a chance against LAFC.
Well, we just saw Columbus go out. They are number two in the supporter Shield with sixty six points behind Miami seventy four and they go out to the New York Red Bulls. So we say this all the time in the MLS, any team can beat any other team on any given day. And you know Vancouver across the league, everyone knows that LA is the team, uh, And so Vancouver has no pressure on them, but they also have ability, right, and they've got to coach that fires them up. So
it'll be an interesting you know thinking. But man, I don't like that it's sixty more minutes.
I know it's too much time in these games.
Yeah, yeah, not for us, but of course there's too much time in them. Yeah from them.
One goal from La and the tide can turn very quick and all of a sudden, they've just got too much firepower. So they got to keep the clean sheet and they've got to get through the next hour.
Well that will do it for our postgame show, obviously it's been tight. So we're gonna have a Sounders Weekly seven pm ninety three point three KJR FM this coming Wednesday to continue reacting to this penalty shootout win and start looking ahead to the West semifinal, whether it's Vancouver or LAFC. That may be l EFC, or it may be a Game three. We'll have more on the Weekly Show seven pm on Wednesday on ninety three point three FM.
I want to thank everybody with tonight's broadcast. Great job by Ryan gives back in the KJR studios in Seattle.
