1 week ago | sounderatheart.com | Aaron Campeau |Mark Kastner |Jeremiah Oshan |Niko Moreno

With the Sounders picking up their first win in over a month, Aaron and Mark are in a sunny mood as they discuss the blissfully uneventful win over FC Dallas. Topics of conversation include a return to defensive form, the impact of Pedro de la Vega, and Danny Musovski's big night. In this week’s power rankings, they go over the top reasons they continue to believe the Sounders will be just fine in the long run. Is It Time to Be Optimistic?
Key Performers in Defiance’s Open Cup win over Oakland Roots

1 week ago | sounderatheart.com | Tim Ostlund-Foss |Jeremiah Oshan |Ari Liljenwall

Tacoma Defiance took 120 minutes plus stoppage time to do it, but they beat Oakland Roots 2-1 in the third round of the US Open Cup. A 28th minute free kick banger from Peter Kingston and a 108th minute finish from Osaze De Rosario proved enough to overcome a 75th minute penalty for the Roots from Neveal Hackshaw and a 117th minute red card for Cody Baker, as Defiance now await the outcome of the draw to learn their opponents for the 4th round of the U.S. Open Cup.

The Tacoma Defiance will play arguably the biggest game in their history tonight when they host the USL Championship’s Oakland Roots in the third round of the U.S. Open Cup at Starfire Stadium. The game will air on Paramount+ and is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM. The winner will likely get a chance to face a MLS team in the fourth round of the tournament. The Defiance come into the match off a 3-2 loss to LAFC2, but had won four straight across all competitions prior to that.

The Seattle Sounders have just one win on the road against FC Dallas in their past 15 meetings, and will be looking to reverse that trend tonight. The Sounders are also trying to turn around a season that has seen them start 1-3-3, equalling their slow start from a year ago. They’ll have some reinforcements. Although Albert Rusnák and Alex Roldan are out with injuries, Pedro de la Vega and Jordan Morris are expected to return to the starting lineup.
Everything you need to know ahead of FC Dallas-Sounders

1 week ago | sounderatheart.com | Jeremiah Oshan

The Seattle Sounders will be looking to snap a four-game winless run when they visit FC Dallas, a place they’ve historically struggled to get results. The Sounders are just 1-9-5 in their last 15 trips to Frisco across all competitions. This match will also be a double-revenge games of sorts, with Jesús Ferreira facing his boyhood club for the first time ever and Léo Chú facing the Sounders for the first time.
MLS Fantasy Week 8: Champions Cup Fever

Leo Messi is inevitable. LAFC took a 1-0 lead to Miami and before long saw themselves up 2-0 on aggregate with the away goal tiebreaker. And yet. And yet! Messi scores a banger out of nowhere, a really weird ball in bounces over everyone and LAFC can't clear it off the line, and finally LAFC give up a late PK and Messi calmly buries it for the 3-2 lead and eventual win. This was his third full 90 match in a week, leaving us with the question: will he show up to Chicago?

A week after vibes seemed to be moving in a positive direction, the Seattle Sounders had a much more business-focused week of training. Jeremiah is joined by Niko Moreno for another episode of “What we learned this week” to discuss some of the findings. Perhaps the most notable development of the week is that Pedro de la Vega and Jordan Morris appear poised to be back in the starting lineup.
Sounders know they need higher-quality scoring chances

1 week ago | sounderatheart.com | Jeremiah Oshan |Ari Liljenwall

RENTON — Anyone who has watched the Seattle Sounders over the past month or so can easily diagnose their biggest problem. After opening the season by scoring 13 goals in their first six competitive matches, the Sounders have scored just two in their past five overall and only one in their last four league games. The Sounders defense has been more up and down, but it has been considerably shy of the elite level it played at over the past two seasons when they allowed the fewest goals in MLS.
