And it's hard to say if our normal defenders would have helped there.

Perfect summary. Great match. One mistake that ruined it. Gotta learn.

Defense depth is a huge part of it, but I need to go back and see who guarded the guy that scored. It may have been jmo. We had so many chances to win this series though, it can't be on the ref even if they were very annoying

#Sounders. Look, this is on us for giving up a goal. The series was always winnable if we didn't. We've been great at not giving up goals, but that really doomed us. Good learning for later in the year. But we need to use this Rusnak wakeup to go win the shield. Huge disappointment.

Insanity. And you know they won't add much extra. Two was wasted right at the end!!

Hilly. 100%. Of. The. Time.

What a beautiful, happy cat. So sorry for your loss!

I think it's a mix of those two and a third which is aged out for one reason or another without being replaced. That could be life cycle related or situationally.

Okay.. Second leg* then

This guy. Legend. Come out in the second half to win, Sounders.

Pretty sure 4. Need to re watch Armageddon and deep impact tbh but Dantes Peak all day

👏👏👏

Very much so! Awful ref / var display so far!

How does that not go to VAR at the very least?!

Also how do the reign get punished for NOT committing a hand ball in the opponents box? They just illegitimately lost an attacking opportunity and the ref didn't seem to understand what he was reviewing 😂. Still a great start!

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

Still have hope but I've seen too many games where the road team or underdog squeeks into overtime and it's a blowout from there. Just too bad we couldn't hold the lead down the stretch! (and didn't seem to stick to our game)

Apple TV showing captions over the most important part of the screen during catch up to live highlights

Using apple TV for mls has made me so confused how anyone thinks apple cares about good UI and craft.

No way to disable captions while watching the catch-up highlights, so I'm stuck either getting spoilers (which they are awful about overall, as a sports service), or having to peer thru captions.

Sushiritto... Also not that weird

The Seahawks should simply cover the difference.

It's the kind of fall off that literally makes me question wearing a USA baseball hat out the door. And I definitely got some looks walking around my neighborhood today (for context, it's not red lol.. I could never 😂).

They couldn't pick the safe. Their Hail Mary went unanswered. Their German engineering fell short. (in honor of that awful announcing, 😂)

San Diegooh. I can't.

I'm pretty sure he just pronounced Orlando 'Orlandooh' and tried to put some extra mustard on 'Thomas' 😂

He's already told us at less three times how tall Ragen is and twice where Thomas was born, but couldn't bother to look at the pronunciation guide 😅

One of the worst I've ever heard. And that is a shocking bar to pass. Sir could you stop yelling for totally innocuous crosses and learn how to pronounce just a couple names correctly? He's just so desperate for his calls to be used in highlights.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Literally the best way to learn this news.

PRO says Hassani Dotson’s goal should have stood Audio of VAR process also illustrates some serious problems in how the system worked.

A reader had a good suggestion: Once the ref goes to the monitor, VAR’s communication should stop. If they can’t see the infraction without the help of the commentary, it’s not clear and obvious.

This is the most obvious logical thing to implement. It's wild they haven't at least trialed it yet. I suppose I could see refs feeling like they have to make a decision quickly, but maybe they shouldn't see the clock ticking.
