SEATTLE — Just in case you thought the fight over Club World Cup bonuses would fade, the players made sure that the issue is going to stay front and center for at least a little while longer when they came out for pregame wearing shirts featuring the Monopoly man and reading “Club World Ca$h Grab” on the front and “Fair Share Now” on the back. Players continued to wear them during pregame introductions and the team photo.

The Seattle Sounders will renew what has so far been one of the most lopsided rivalries in MLS history. In 16 all-time meetings across three competitions, the Sounders hold a 14-1-2 advantage that includes a 10-0-0 record at Lumen Field. This Minnesota team looks to be a bit more dangerous, however. They currently sit third in the Western Conference and have a +9 goal-difference that is tied for second best in the conference.

RENTON — In an attempt to make it easier for participating teams to bolster their rosters for the Club World Cup and address a quirk of tournament timing relative to player contracts expiring, FIFA decided to grant them an additional 10-day transfer window. Although U.S. Soccer has granted the Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami and potentially LAFC the ability to use that window that opens Sunday through June 10, it’s unclear how active they will be.

RENTON — For most of the season, the Seattle Sounders have done their best to deflect questions about the Club World Cup being any sort of distraction. The general messaging has been something along the lines of “we’ll deal with when we get there.”With the Club World Cup trophy literally on site during Friday’s training session as part of its tour around the Seattle area, the tournament became considerably harder to ignore.

Postgame Pontifications: Pure grit

SEATTLE — Perhaps no one in Seattle Sounders history needed a goal quite as badly as Jesús Ferreira did. Coming into Wednesday’s game against San Diego FC, the youngest player to score 50 MLS goals had not hit the back of the net in nearly 1,300 minutes. Ferreira has insisted that he wasn’t feeling a ton of outside pressure; that he felt supported by coaches and teammates; that he was getting reassurance through both playing time and his ability to contribute in less obvious ways.
