Welcome to the Sounders e FC Postmat Show. Sounders FC Soccer is brought to you by Delta Airlines, proud to donate one soccer ball for every mile rand by Sounders e FC players this season through Ray Foundations one Mile one Ball program and by Providence, Swedish official healthcare partner of Seattle Sounders FC. The Sounders FC Postmat Show starts now. It is a final from Frisco, Texas. Your Sounders have their first win and more than a month one nothing
final at FC Dallas. They're gonna come home with all three points. They end the three match road swing with the win, and what a win. It was so much to discuss here over the postgame show. Jackson Foltz, Marcus Hanneman here for the next twenty twenty five minutes as we break this thing down. Marcus, there is a lot to discuss here from a one nothing game where the goal was scored in the seventeenth minute.
That was a crazy second half. What are your just thoughts here?
Well, they needed a way win, right, and how a win changes everything? Right? You start moving up on the table and you know it's hard, and then you could see what it meant to the guys on the field and after the game and stuff like that. They were pumped right and they needed it right. There's a lot of pressure on them, coaching staff, everybody, and.
It certainly was I think Hayesu's Ferreira, you could see how badly he wanted to score to night, Like he had a couple of good chances and you know, one guy saved, one was just right, but he was offside anyway. But he definitely wanted to score. Even him not getting on the score sheet, it did feel like it does feel like just watching him play and watching the relief and you know, just seeing his demeanor coming off the field at the final whistle.
He got a lot out of it.
Maybe this is the sort of thing to get the monkey out of the back, But for a lot of guys like that, just you can feel sort of like, okay, guys, let's breathe. There's a big three points. We're back in this thing. This is Seattle Sounders soccer.
Yeah. I did tell you during the game that it is a bit weird seeing him in the Sounders cheers. You see him, you're like, especially playing against Dallas, You're like, wait, what's going on here? But he had it. I thought he had a good game. You know, he was involved in a lot of the our key plays, putting pressured on Dallas, you know, good outlet balls. He was in the right spots and I mean he's a good player.
He is, and I think that that position fits him best when he's in that pocket. And when Albert Rusnak gets healthy, we'll see where he goes. There's gonna be a lot of competition named Pedro. De la Vega got forty five minutes, Marcus, and in those forty five minutes dalea Vega, I mean he was energized. His shot causes the rebound that goes for Danny Mazowski to score the goal.
Day la Vega's sort of like, all.
Right, this is Pedro and if we can kind of keep him healthy and get him rolling on this truck, he's just such a difference maker on the field.
Yeah, he was our best player in the first half for sure.
I mean he was all over the plays. He's involved in everything, and you know, looks good on the ball, and you know when he took that shot, I'm like, come on, and then off the post and I'm like, oh, okay, here we go. I mean beautiful start, but you know, I thought I was a little bit far for him to be shooting, you know, with his left foot, a little curler and but pinpoint accuracy off the post. You know, that's what it needs.
Well.
Mention that tonight's play Tonight's Toyota Man of the Match is Danny Mazowski with that goal your logo Toylet Dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match. And there's a lot of I think contenders. He is the goal scorer and I'm not going to give him play the match. We'll get into that in the next segment. I want to save the new conversation for coming up next.
It was interesting that it surprised the heck out of me as I was kind of coming back into the room, got a minute and a half into the second half to see that Kim Key. He was the replacement for Jackson Reagan who's off due to a right hamstring injury. We'll get an update on that from Brian Schmitzer post game and then later on in the middle of the week.
But it's kim Ky he coming on and you know, for you know, kim Ky, he an older player who's had some good years in the K League after his couple of years with the Sounders, did a job next to Yeamar, I thought, yeah, no.
He looked good. You know, we just make assumptions and you know how that goes.
I wasn't gonna mention the yeah, yeah, because we're both at the halftime kind of like, yeah it's John Bell. Yeah, nope, yeah, okay, But but Kim did a good job overall. And you know, ultimately we see Danny Lava come on the field as well,
and that midfield there. How many times did we see the Sounders earning possession there, you know, in the final twenty minutes of that game, and it was up to Danny Lava or oh Beed Vargas just having to you know, wrinkle away their way out of pressure to keep possession and eat up a lot of minutes down the stretch.
Yeah, Mozowsky almost had two goals tonight.
That's true.
Yeah, and off the post as well, rebound and you know he was called off sides, but I don't think he was off side. We looked at that. I can't believe they didn't replay it.
So the way I understand this, and it took me a long time reading through the rule book about a year ago actually figuring this out. So on a situation like that, the VAR official wherever I think in the stadium, they are looking at that play over and over and over.
And then the VAR official is in the ear of the head official and they can make a recommendation and they can say no, you need to go look at this to the head official, but the VR official is looking at that over and over figuring out, okay, wait do you need to look at it? And I guess whoever the VAR official was, I don't have that on my notes, said no, you don't need to look at that, but still I would kind of and then ask the VR official, that's a pretty darn close play.
Why don't you make the recommendation to the head ref to look at it?
And you don't, and make sure, like I know, like ninety percent of the time that the VAR official recommends go look at that, the play gets flipped.
I understand that, but still on a play that close, at least.
Make the recommendation to get another pair of eyes on that, because.
I think Danny Laba was the one actually all sides because he was slightly in front and the linesman can't see that right because they're both in the same in line. But the problem with the var right is you have the replay, but it takes way too long, right, and football doesn't take this long. Like we've been waiting in the stadium for two or three minutes and they can't figure it out. It's either like clear and concise and you can figure it out, or you can't.
Or just make the recommendation go look at it. Yeah, and they didn't. I don't understand why you can't just make the recommendation. Hey, you don't need to change this call. I'm not telling you to go change this call. I'm just saying, head referee, go look at it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know how the VR officials make that mindset of do look at it or don't look at it?
But they But it was against Dallas Dallas away, so that has something to do with this.
Can we for a moment as as we're talking.
About we'll assume they're not cheaters.
I think there is a breaking news. Actually there's actually breaking news from Frisco, Texas. The post that Stephan fryt I fell into was just given a yellow card after the match ended.
Yeah, that could have happened.
It was actually the twenty first yellow card handed out tonight.
There were some against Stephen Fry.
Oh yeah. Did Fry also get one?
Yeah? I mean like giving it to him?
So how many yellows can you hand out in a match? Geeesh.
The ref did not have a great game. There was some phantom like all the players were looking around like what that was a foul?
Okay, very very odd game from their officials.
They have a hard they have a hard job, as Brian Schmitzer very politically correct says each time, they have a hard job.
It was just.
Made to look a little bit harder tonight.
Hey, listen, we're joking because we're smiling, because we are happy.
The Sounders won one. Nothing.
It's a Danny Masoski goal. It's a rebound in the seventeenth minute.
It's a good goal. It's a good goal. I never said it wasn't a good Yeah, I know, I was just clarifying for the listeners.
It wasn't.
It wasn't a tap in from a foot, It was not. It was a good goal.
It was a good rebound and a good awareness from Danny Mazoski put it in the back of the net. As a Sounders walk away with a one nothing win. We will get to play the match, which will lead to an entire conversation here coming up next.
Few quick notes here.

I actually forgot about this song. It's been a while. It's been a minute since.
Taking care of business, which we play, of course in every victory postgame show for the Seattle Sounders. Well, Don Anderson, I truly forgot this song existed, and it's.
Good to hear here have a jingle balls version of this. We do because they're singing jingle bells probably at this.
Exact second right now in the locker room, because the Sounders have one in Dallas one to nothing, and I should mention that the Sounders have one today. And folks, you get to win tomorrow down on the McDonald's app and redeem your free McChicken tomorrow with any purchase of two dollars or more at your locally owned and operated McDonald's restaurant. Down on the McDonald's app today and check out the deals waiting for you, and you will get a free McChicken tomorrow with any purchase.
Of two dollars or more. I cannot wait for mine. Just to tip. You get the McChicken, you get a side of buffalo. You just drench the thing in buffalo and it's like you have a buffalo chicken sandwich. Really really good there.
So jingles Bells was from NSL Sounders, like old school all the way we did it, and the best thing about it was having a new player in the locker room who didn't know what was going on. And then you just watch them as everyone starts singing jingle bells, it.
Is nodding their head like We're like, what is happening?
What kind of team did I come to?
I was thinking, you know, Ryan Kent's not in Dallas right now. He was just getting his visa in Vancouver. But when when Ryan ken is the first part of that that video of seeing right, what the hell? That's gonna be a fun one when we see it. All right, it's time for our Emerald Queen Casino play of the match, which will lead into an entire discussion. I gave Danny Maczowski the Player of the Match because I wanted to use this as a kind of a jumping off point
for this discussion. So listen, this was all. This was, in all honesty, a very big moment in this match. Ninety first minute, Dallas is on the sounders, they're pressing. It's Leo Chu earning himself a great spot. The cross comes into Julio and knew Who has an epic moment in the ninety first minute.
It comes Leo Chue towards the end Liney goes bull cuts.
Back top of the box.
Great deflection by new right place, right time.
It was Anderson.
Julio looked all about to knock the ball into the back of the net.
That was the play of the match, presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital of Northwest And that ball was going into the back of the net were it not for new Who's big block there.
And it's funny.
I think I think Andrews you said it best where it's it's we see the good of new Who that moment and another block he had a couple seconds earlier. But then also he's getting up the field as an attacker late in that game when you're leading one nothing on the road.
You're a center back new Who.
Well, and that's what you're talking about early in the game. It's like, okay, hopefully now being part of the back line, right, you're not as you're not asked to do as much going forward as an outside back that you know your role now is to sit back and defend, especially when you're up one zero, especially when you're away at Dallas and it's late in the game. Like you would think that would all come naturally, but I guess not.
Marcus.
We talked in the halftime show about discipline for new Who, and it just it wasn't there down the stretch, in the most meaningful minutes.
Yeah, and then you know you're gonna get forward. There's gonna be times where you have to do that. Then you know, no interest like in hurrying back. That's that's the issue, because it's going to happen, right, You're gonna have to go forward. And then you know knew Who, like laid on in the game, there was a so he's like, oh, I'm out of position. I'm chasing back
with a defender. So he fouls him, right, which is kind of a smart play, right because then you get a chance to go back, but you're like, you got to sprint and get back, right, Yeah, if you can run, you can run back, especially as a center back. I mean that needs to be a dead sprint back, get in position.
And the light jog all the way back was It's concerning, and I mean the end of the game that they showed this on the TV broadcast that we were watching. At the end of the game, Steph's trying to talk to him, Brian's trying to talk to him, and he's kind of throwing his hands up as in like I
don't know what. I don't know what he's saying in that moment, but clearly there were, you know, emotions where high frustrations were there, and it sort of is like, boy after a one nothing win where you had these blocks and that attitude. I mean, I don't know, as a veteran goalkeeper leader that you were in that locker room that stuff and fright is right now in that
locker room. I'm just not sure what you do in that situation with a guy who clearly it's the good and the bad and he just doesn't want to listen in that moment, Knew who sees the red mist a lot, right, He's just like, you can't talk to him, you can't tell him anything, and even Fry tries to grab him, right because you know it's after that block, there's this corner, and then there's some pushing and shoving, right, and you know Knew who takes everything personally right, but he's but
he's hot headed.
But that that's the player that make that he is right, and it makes him who he is too, right, that kind of hot head streak, and so trying to rein that in. But when he's not, won't listen to anybody. That's where the problem comes in.
Yeah, I worry about that, but I mean I would hope that everything gets resolved by now. I mean, you know, fifteen minutes out of the game, en and I hope everything would be resolved and you know all as well. But he did come up with a massive couple massive defensive plays.
It's just it is a Yeah. I just would love.
If it was just the discipline to know it's one nothing, a few minutes left on the road, gotta stay back, gotta stay.
Home and keep the clean sheet, get the win, and you know, if that goes, if something happens in that situation, right, I mean he's taken the blame.
I mean, I don't know.
It's a tough situation, yeah, you know, because I would just love the discipline to be there. But at the end of the day, listen again, it's just sort of a thing where twenty minutes after the game ends, you hope everything is resolved in the locker.
Room and he calmed down, and then all.
Of everybody can celebrate accordingly with jingle bells to bring it all back around. Hey, I think I think you have something to do before we take a break.

Nine fifty KJR.
Wrapping up the postmatch show here on Sports Radio nine tifty KJR am Sounders winning in Dallas. One nothing fili is It's it's a mixed bag A little bit but it's overall very happy coming out of a one nothing win where Danny Mazowski scores in the seventeenth minute. We saw him come off maybe a slight knock. We saw Jackson Reagan come off with a right hamstring injury. I should know more about that soon and going into the week.
But obviously the center back depth is good. Jonathan Bell, kim Key he you also have Stuart Hawkins at lower level, so you know, if Reagan's out, we got guys as well. So we'll see about those injury updates. But as we look ahead for the Sounders in terms of what's next, no midweek game. The next game will be one week from today and it's finally back home at Luhman Field. We're gonna be hosting Nashville SC next Saturday, April twelfth.
It'll be a four to thirty kickoff at Luhman. It'll also be a Provident Swedish pre match show of four o'clock and that's actually gonna be over on the FM station ninety three point three KJR FM four o'clock pre match four to thirty kickoff folks. You can also watch the match on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app listen in Spanish language on LRA thirteen sixty. So, Marcus, we know that it's a maybe for Albert Rusnak and
maybe for olks rolled on. But the way that we saw Pedro dale Avega play, the way that we saw, you know, Jordan Morris's worked back, didn't see the field, but we'll see what his.
Availability could be.
This is a team that you know, confidence should be pretty darn good coming out of this went on the road.
Yeah, we're we're looking for Morris to get some minutes tonight, which we're excited for and we didn't see but that's fine. Right. It's hard coming off the bench, like especially if you're not used to it, because you got to stay warm like the whole time. And it's I think it's easier starting a game right and then and then going because now you get the full warm up, you get yourself into it. And then coming back from injury, if you can't play the whole game, it's like, oh how do
I how do I feel? How do I get back into this? So hopefully he can just start maybe next game and you know, play as much as he can or whatever.
And yeah, because Pedro was clearly on the forty five minute limit today. So if Jordan can be on the same kind of track and you know, get through forty five minutes against Nashville and then that would be huge, especially whatever is going on with Mazaski.
Just giving you that option is great.
But you know, with with Pedro and then that attack on there, Nashville is a good defensive team.
We'll see overall how that looks.
But it's going to be great to be home and after such a long road trip where you're playing road game, road game, road game, being back in front of your home fans, Marcus is certainly going to be big for this team.
Yeah, especially after coming home on this win. Right, It's like, Okay, we're back, right. Everyone feels that way. The fans are going to feel that way, and it's not going to be Oh, I hope we start off well, right, Yeah, but that was the key to today. They had a great first five minutes, right, and.
They shut them. They shut you know they did to Dallas.
What I think the plan was in San Diego, which was just in that first fifteen knowing you might have to absorber a little bit of pressure on the road, but just be discipline in your positioning and make sure they don't get anything early.
And we defensively did a great job.
Yeah, and then no more short corners.
I'm with that.
Yeah, with that.
Hey, quickly we have live standings here. We moved up a few spots, eleventh place. Right now we're only one point back of LAFC, who hold the final playoff spot right now they.
Have ten points.
There's a lot of games currently going on, so a lot of MLS action. We'll talk about on Wednesday's Sounders Weekly seven or eight pm. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRE FM.
