Your Seattle Sounders getting a point on the road tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina at Bank of America Fields three three. The final score is a wild, wild game took place there between your Seattle Sounders and Charlotte FC. So welcome in to the post match show. Jackson Felts
and Pete viewing here for the next twenty minutes. To break this thing down. Pete, I'll start by telling you that tonight's Toyota Man of the Match is Rawle Ruy Diaz. With those two goals, your local Toyoto dealers are proud to present tonight's man of the match. What a game for Rawle getting those two goals in his first start since coming back from injury. Pete, your thoughts on what is a point on the road tonight? Well, when you're up, when you have the lead two to one, then you have
the lead three to two, you want to close it out. That's an important piece at at the professional level. That you can be efficient, uh, and especially on the road, if you can do it, so, um, that will be a bit disappointing. But I like the effort, I like the goals. I like the number of players that are matriculated back into the starting lineup coming off the bench. I think they'll be disappointed that they didn't get uh, three points out of that. That would have been
fantastic. Watching Ruey Diaz walk across the field after the game, strutting across the field, his confidence is back. So that's good news. Um. But but I again, and you got again. Both teams want to win. Charlotte's at home. They're playing the Seattle Sounders, the history of the Sounders. It's a big game for them, you know. And and Charlotte gets three goals, the three shots on goal, that's tough. They have three goals, very efficiency to get six shots on goal and they get three.
So a little bit tough. But but we could be very upset that we lost, you know, three two. Yeah, So and the fact that the goals were excellent, goals were excellent. We've been we've been quite concerned that we haven't gotten two goals, you know, in a month and a week and now first time since April if the team has scored two plus goals too much. Yeah, that's a lot, that's a bad stretch. It has been a while. But your Sounder is getting the point on the
road tonight three three. I do like seven shots, six of them on goal. Good efficiency for the Sounders. That is in the last game, right, yeah, for sure, for sure. But before your Sounders there it is only a point. Weren't able to get that three points. They were leading three two, but the Charlotte scores in the eighty ninth minute to a cross put in and there was not a guy within ten yards of the
cross. That's the that's the thing that that irks me. But at the end of the day, ball goes into the back of the net on the header that makes it three three. That's how the game ends and Seattle flying back to the West Coast with a point. I'll tell you really quick that Delta Airlines is proud to donate one soccer ball for every mile ran by Sounders
FC players this season through Ray Foundations One Mile, one Ball program. We'll take a break, come back and continue talking about this three three draw in Charlotte's night. More next on the postgame show sports Radio at nine fifty KJR. AM. You're listening to the home of Sounders FC, Seattle's Sports Radio
nine fifty KJR. Welcome back to the post match show. After a Sounders three three wild draw at Bank of America Field in Charlotte, North Carolina against Charlotte FFC, it's time for today's Emerald Queen Casino Play of the Match. We had a good few ones to choose from, but it has to be the second goal of the game. The first from Rawle Ruie Diaz. The bull goes long see Rusneck is able to collect it around Lindsay back to Leo.
Chew Rude top of the books, evades pressure for Westwood twenty five yards. I whipped the ball. Wonderful goal by Rui Diaz back into the lineup, and that's what the Sounders have missed, the ability to wriggle free twenty five yachts from goal. He wraps his right foot around it and plays it past Kalina to put the Sounders up in North Carolina Charlotte one sounds two. The Play of the match is presented by Emerald Queen Casino, the betting capital
of the Northwest great goal there and Pete. Now as we look ahead for the Sounders, they got ten days off and the next game is gonna be not this Wednesday, the following Wednesday down at LAFC. So nobody had any serious injuries tonight, just lots of cramping. That's okay, So now get back on the plane. Rest of even more, Jordan will be at full health. We saw him on coming on the field. This will be a full health Sounders squad for one of the biggest games of the season coming up
in ten days at LA. I'm sure everyone's thrilled about that. I bet coach Smetzer gives them a couple of days to get away from the game for a little bit rest their bodies recover. I'm sure they'll all the players will be doing what they need to get healthy. But as you said, it's second place versus third place. The difference we have played eighteen, LAS played fourteen, right, and because of Champions League, they've had less MLS games
than everyone else in the conference. So it's a big one because you know, that's a great rivalry. It's as not as long as the Portland one, but it's an important opportunity and it's at LA, which is terrific. So they will be to have ten days to get ready for that game. They should be really fired up revd up because of the significance of two versus three. We'll have more preview for that match coming up on this week's Sounders

All right, with the last few minutes here, we have to talk about the biggest news probably in American soccer history, and that is that, in my opinion and in the opinion of many, including Christian Roldan, by the way, the greatest soccer player of all time Lionel Messi, who just won the World Cup with Argentina. I see Anders wearing his Argentina jersey right there, who has won so
much across the entire globe. He is coming to MLS. He's joining into Miami. He will begin playing with them this summer. Messi in MLS, Messi with Miami. Pete viewing your reaction to the great the Goat now joining our league, Well, I think it's tremendous and it's a it's a great step, and it's a great compliment. I think that Messi and his team of advisers chose to come here, turning down one point three billion, yeah, yeah, and Saudi Arabia, and I think it's I think it's wonderful.
I think he wants to embrace it all. He has a home there in Miami, um, and he wants to be a human being and a soccer player. I like how in other words, you know, if you're playing around the world, sometimes guys like him can't go anywhere, right, So I'd think he'll get a little bit of that. I think Wayne Rooney experienced that at DC where he could actually drop his kids off. But I
think he's he's the kind of guy that's not gonna slough off. They've We've had players who have come here with great resumes, nothing like this except maybe Pille But but but I think he's going to give an honest effort and I think that's great. Chris Anderson is our GM for many many years. Has to be thrilled and excited. Um, I don't know MESSI knew that they wore pink, but uh, you know, that's fine. I think the
fact that they but they're in fifteenth place in the East. They've won five games this season, and the expectation, just like the he carried a tremendous amount of expectation going into this World Cup to get Argentina another World Cup and his first World Up to in many people's minds, sort of legitimize his career, which he certainly did, and it was already done before that. But he's gonna come here to make a mark. Like David Beckham and who's an
owner of the Miami franchise. So the two of them talked, I'm sure about the possible impact and how it can affect the game. Pelee coming in when he did the NSL was in a much different spot. MLS is in a great spot to have this edition. I'll have a lot of thoughts on Sounders quickly coming up on a Wednesday, We'll have a lot of coverage on Messi to MLS. But I'll quickly say that no matter what he does on the field, his off the field impact is already being felt and it's fantastic,
fantastic for American soccer. Cannot wait to see what he does for MLS for the sport in this country. It is a seismic move for him to turn down all that money from Saudi Arabia, choose MLS and choose to basically change the culture of soccer in America. It's fantastic. Cannot wait to have Messi start playing there with Miami in MLS, and hopefully I'll be able to see him facing the Seattle Sounders at some point next year. We will see
that'll for the broadcast tonight. I want to thank Danny Jackson, Pete Feling, great call, Anders first running the whole game here on the board. Great job to Anders. My name is Jackson Feltzie, thank you so much for listening. Once again. They're from Bank of America Field in Charlotte. Three three between your sounders in Charlotte. We have Coachella Firebird's Action coming up next. On Sports Radio nine fifty KJR AM
