The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now well.
For the first time in their club history, Saint Louis City has beaten the Seattle Sounders to final one nothing tonight from Energizer Park out there in Saint Louis. They finally have beaten the Rave Green. They also finally have not given up an own goal to the Sounders. It was four for four of them giving up on goals to us. That street stops as well as Saint Louis get all three points with the home won nothing win
over the Sounders tonight. Welcome into the postmatch show. Jackson Feldz, Gay Audio and Pete Fewing here for next twenty thirty however long we want to talk about this game and kind of break down what was a Sounders lost tonight. I'll quickly tell you off the top that Sounder's evs soccer is presented by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Sounders FC. Also that Delta Airlines is pro to proud to donate one soccer ball for every mile ran by
Sounders FC players this season. Three foundations, one mile, one ball program. All right, it's a one nothing. Final goal was scored in the fifteenth minute, a well taken free kick by Edward Luvin after a yellow card by Jackson Reagan. Reagan fell down, slipped and then kind of the ball rolled in or he grabbed the ball. Either way it hits his hand. That's a yellow card. Twenty five yards out. Luvin steps up to it and puts it into the left side of the net for the lone goal of
tonight's game. Let's just start off Diego and then Pete with opening thoughts on what is a Sounders loss.
It was a tough match, obviously not the result we all wanted. However, I did see the second half improvements right in terms of the intensity the pressure. I think the first forty five were not good at all, right in terms of not creating any clear chances, but at least looking I would say on the bright side of things, this Sounders team regardless of all the missing players, they
will playing. You know, they play on the road against that some loose team that haven't received any goals, and they were really close to actually even manage a result, a positive result. But I think for me the question is for the Sounders. We also will talk about it more. But we also saw Christian rl Dan probably leaving the
pitch injured. Hopefully not, we'll see, but it's just, you know, it's not a good sign in terms of not having available players, especially not having the players that are starter.
So we'll see how that evolves.
But I think to me, looking again, on the bright side of things, you have a competitive team without five even six starters, and the Saunders can complay once any team.
When you step back and think about it for a minute, we never like to lose, right, And when you were saying, just now, Jackson, that's the first time they've beat us, they didn't give an old goal, I'm thinking we shouldn't have talked about that before the game because I'm superstitious, I guess as a coach sometimes but you look at it and you say, okay, when you step back and you say, we have had quite a week with the injuries that we've had, the eight games in twenty four days,
and coming into a Saint Louis team that hasn't given up a goal all season and didn't tonight. It comes down to a little individual place. Jackson just said it. You know, we have the handball and then a great free kick, and that's the difference. That's the margin in this game. Right here, we had a couple of chances leave us. Smashes a great volley into the back of the net, but it's coming off of a whistle, so it doesn't count. Then he miss hits one a little
bit later. So coming down to individual plays, that's what's the separator at this level. And you know all the pro teams around the world say we would say the same thing. So we're close. We created opportunities. I like our pieces. I'm glad we have a week off to get ready for the next one. And I'm thrilled to be honest that we're at home versus Houston because we need they just have it's come.
Back a week. They need a week.
They really do, we really do. I mean you look at it and like Jordan Morris's injury, I was really sad for the look on his face, and I think that kid has run his guts out, you know, for twenty one straight days, every three or four days, he's been so so anyway, you know, give give Saint Louis credit for getting the win and defending well and getting another shutout. Seattle had chances and opportunities. They're be on a plane in the next hour. They need to come home,
rest up and retool. And frankly, if we beat Houston next week, we'll have one more win than we did in the first ten games last year.
Well, I want to take yeah at a point and we're on our fourth game, so well, I want to take the next segment in the postgame show and talk about a few specific players, one specifically being Haes Whu's Ferreira. I think I think he deserves a conversation. I would like to before we take a break, talk about with a ninety third minute penalty that wasn't because it looks like Obed Vargas is running into the box. His hands look like in no dangerous position, nothing's flailing, but it does.
The ball does hit his hand, and then ultimately he's brought down. There's a penalty comes back and they rule that it's a handball before the trip and before the foul. So you know, for me, it just seems a bit harsh to call that. But but from a coach's eyes and diego from your analyst, dies, I want each of your your take because that that frustrated me a little bit that you call the penalty and boy, that's it just seems a little soft to call that handball.
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately according to FIFA rules, right, diego. At the end of the day, the problem is that, yeah, he was not voluntary that he hits hits hand, but if if the hand wasn't there, the ball probably would slip away, right, because that actually the ball stops in his hand and then he can he continues to play and then he gets fouled. So to me, that to me, that's the key, right because again not voluntary, not but
it's a handball. And at the end of the day, if there's a handball, the foul after that doesn't count. It cancels it drops out, right, Yeah, for rules unfortunately, but yeah it was and the naked eye, it was hard to see because I was looking at the game. It's like, okay, how is that a handle?
Right?
The replay, right, We saw the replay, but it just I don't know.
I mean, maybe maybe it did alter the ball that much, but I don't know.
We have a different screen that we're looking on. So we saw it about six or seven times. And with each time you went, oh, sugar.
Yeah, yeah you saw you saw it different way.
Yeah, And Kensler was behind him, had he not? And oh, but didn't do it on purpose?
He didn't.
He didn't you know whom I thinking of the the Italian player with the ponytail. Come on, come on, come on forward by you. Yeah, it didn't buzz you. I could still see Bozzio not going to blow into his space, right, And and it did hit his hand. It had it not hit his hand, it would have gone to Kessler. And it did play him back into the space. So yeah, we saw it five or six times.
And you guys have you you and Danny have this like super interesting setup with all of your camera angles and stuff.
I'm just watching it. Then the moment I see.
No, yeah, yeah, to your point, the naked eye, I didn't see it at first. By the six or seventh one, you're thinking, well, that's hamble, we're going to get it.
So it ultimately was taken off and game well, you know what I mean, You know how me I I reacted accordingly to about the NH degree of the things, Pete, so as as I do with all things with Sounders, and I just got to remind myself that it's early in the season, gentlemen, and a loss here tonight, we just move forward. We got Houston coming up. We'll talk about Houston. Also, it's the return of Nicholas Ladero to Seattle coming up next week. We'll talk about that later on.
I do want to specifically talk about a few guys out of this game, so that'll come up next on the postgame show. I will tell you that this season it wasn't tonight, but when the Sounders win, you'll win a free mixchick in the next day, exclusively in the McDonald's app with any minimum two dollars purchase down on the McDonald's up today and check out the deals waiting for you.

Hey there, Sounders fans, all of us at sound Transit love when you take the train to the match, but we want to remind you to use crosswalks and obey traffic signals near tracks. Trains are quieter than you expect, travel in both directions and approach at varying speeds that are difficult to judge. The amount of time you might say by ducking or going around a crossing gate isn't worth risking your life for. So next time you're buy a track, play it safe. That way we all win.

Welcome back to the postgame show Sounders falling tonight in Saint Louis by a final score of one to nothing. It's time for our Emerald Queen Casino Play of the match. There's still a play of the match even in a shutout loss. It was a one nothing game. Stephen Fry came up big to keep it one nothing.
To Hatle rolls the ball out to the far side the left to the vallum closed down by Alex Roldan and it was a good save in the end by Ceph and Fry through traffic.
It came Lowdowns was right.
He had to go and managed to crawl claw the ball out from the right corner of the goal.
The play of the match was presented by Emerald Queen Casino at the betting capital of the Northwest. All right, time to look ahead to what's next. And what's next will be a full week of rest for the Sounders, thank goodness. Finally the full week of rest comes before Nick Sladero and the Houston Dynamo come into Seattle. The return of Nico to Seattle next weekend as he joined the Houston Dynamo just recently actually from Orlando City.
So that's gonna be at Lumenfield.
We will have a Providence Swedish prematch show of seven o'clock and a kickoff of seven thirty. Folks, you can watch the match on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV up. You can also listen on l Ray thirteen sixty in Spanish. We will have the broadcast for you on our stream channel. It's the Sounders FC Radio stream
channel on iHeartRadio and the iHeartRadio app. So if you go into iHeartRadio, if you go onto the iHeartRadio app and you search Sounders FC Radio, then you will be able to pull up the stream channel and that is where we will have the game for you next Saturday night once again seven o'clock pregame, seven thirty kickoff there on the Sounders FC radio stream channel on iHeartRadio and the iHeartRadio app for Sounders Houston next weekend. And Diego, I mean, this is this is a Houston team. We
saw him in the playoffs last year. They made a lot of changes in the offseason. Nicholas Ladero is now on them. This is gonna be a fun one here a Luminfield next Saturday.
Yeah, I mean it's a completely different team from what the Sounders encounter last season. Good to see Nicholas Lodeo coming back. Definitely one of the Seattle Sounders legends that has you know, brought a lot of good moments for the for the oldest Seattle Saunders fans. But this Houston Dynamo, it's it's struggling. We see where they're currently in the table with just one point. They lost today against oursel.
But they do have one of the new good players as a kill Ponze number ten who actually scored today. Who's gonna be a handful definitely to cover. But I do think after this loss from Saunders. Today, they have to to come back home and look for Houston Danamo
that they haven't found form. And again, such a different team for what he used to be without Ectrorera and also a lot of the changes that I think now this team is gonna be struggling a little bit, especially playing away against the sal Sounders in Lumen.
Well, I'm excited to see Nico come back. I think this will be nice. There's been enough time for him being away that he'll be celebrated when he comes back. When you think of him, he's ninety five assists for this team, right, that's he's number one on that and total points in all competition he's number four with fifty eight points and then game winning goals he's number six with thirteen. So he's done and he's helped us lift a cup, you.
Know, a lot of cups.
Well, tell you what this sometimes gets brought up. You know, Ziggy left the same day Nico came to this club, right, and then Brian Schweitzer took over and took him to the MLS Cup in twenty sixteen. So there's a lot of happy memories and a lot of great leadership. One of my favorite stories on Nico is first game he's playing for the Sounders. He walks in the locker room and they're listening to music and he turned it off and he says, we're not doing that. Talk to each
other about playing the game, and that changed. That was the beginning of a change in the trajectory of this team. So I'm excited he's coming back. Teams take on the personality of their coach. Ben Olsen, Oh yeah, is a grinder. He's not going to come here and say, Okay, we're not going to be a good team. He's coming here and expecting saying, hey, Seattle, right now, they're one win, two losses and a tie. Let's get after him, right, So you can expect a battle. But I am glad
we get a few days to recover. I'm glad the next one is at San Jose, so it's a short flight so we can finally get our legs and you know, get going and same time zone and all those kind of things. So I'm hoping that we come back and that we get after him. But you can't expect a Houston Dynamo team to roll.
Over, No, absolutely not, and they'll be saying, you know, we're gonna get after him, and for the Sounders, we'll have to say the same thing. We've got to get after Houston Dynamo next Saturday, once again seven o'clock pregame seven thirty kickoff. It's the Sounders FC Radio stream channel on iHeartRadio and the free, new, redesigned and pretty freaking cool iHeartRadio app. You can download it now and get ready for the Sounders FC Radio stream channel next Saturday night.
