Expect a bunch of em this offseason. With S2 the frequency inwhich we sign kids out of the academy will go up.

I would expect Jordan Morris, Darwin Jones, and a few others to join once the college season is over.

Excited to see these kids get some time with our system. Really excited about Morris...of our young forwards he is something different. Got a specialness about him.

LA looked pretty spectacular against RSL tonight. Made 'em look silly.

MIKE MCCREADY. LOVE IT.

Looks like we get bad Piñeda tonight. He's already given the ball away multiple times.

If there's one thing I hate in football it's turnovers. Just control the freaking ball.

And finishing. The Sounders have had some prime opportunities to find net. When the Sounders do find the net it will then set up some great counter opportunities for Martins and Dempsey since Dallas will be pressing hard.

And Alonso goes down with what looks like a hamstring injury.

Not a fan of bunkering down here by Seattle. I understand it, but I'm not a fan.

To quote the announcer, "That might be the biggest 0-0 draw in Sounders history."

WTH? How does a team advance when the aggregate total is 1-1?

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

So we win or not?

Such a tense game! We defended really well. Should have won it with the chances we had. Dempsey needs to start playing better, highest paid player on the team and he should have buried that chance at the end. Didn't play brilliant last game either. Martins worked his socks off and created some nice chances, should probably have taken some of them himself. Both teams had legit claims for penalties, can't stand Escobar with his diving though. Would have taken Dempsey or Martins off earlier. We needed to keep possession and they kept giving it away.

Really hope Ozzy comes back for LA! Felt we started to lose our midfield dominance once he went out.

Wins a win though, so far no WTF play off moments from Sigi. It just feels like the pressure is off after the SS win and i think the players are playing a bit better because of it too. Bring on LA! Let's finish Donovans career once and for all, fed up hearing about him.

So we win or not?

Yes, on aggregate.

We scored a goal on their turf and away goals weigh heavier than home goals.

 

[razgriz737]

Azira wasn't horrible filling in for Ozzie, but you just can't replace a guy like him. REALLY hope he is back in time for LA.

I don't feel like the Sounders, "bunkered down" at all. They didn't sub Dempsey until the very end, and at that Neagle was subbed in earlier which left some offensive prowess with Martins and Neagle. Dempsey is off lately as there were at least three chances he should have finished this evening but instead struck the ball right at the keeper.
