On this week's episode of the Sounders FC PodCast, co-hosts Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans recap a tale of two matches: first, a 5-2 rout of LAFC. This win was made extra special from a Jordan Morris goal in the 77th minute, solidifying Morris as the all-time leading scorer in Sounders FC history. The Rave Green followed with a hard-fought but disappointing exit from CONCACAF Champions Cup on Tuesday at Cruz Azul, and Brad and Zak break it all down. The Sounders next face St. Louis on the road on Saturday, kickoff at 5:30pm. Tune-in on MLS Season Pass, 950 KJR AM, and 1360 El Rey for the Spanish call.

Reign FC also begins their season on Saturday, hosting Gotham FC at Lumen Field. Kickoff is at 7pm, and tickets are available here: https://www.reignfc.com/tickets.

Episode 218 Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

The Sounders are back from preseason in Spain and ready to begin a gauntlet of a season. Co-hosts Brad Evans and Steve Zakuani begin by looking back at some preseason results, and commend Craig Waibel, Brian Schmetzer and staff for putting together a roster with depth all around the pitch. And it's a good thing given the congested upcoming schedule: scrimmage vs Louisville on the 12th, CONCACAF Champions Cup vs Antigua on February 19th (away) and February 26th (home)... not to mention MLS play kicks off on February 22nd when the Rave Green host Charlotte FC. Phew.
