The Seattle Sounders recently added three players to the first-team roster, none of whom should come as big surprises. Nathan Cardoso’s signing was officially announced on Thursday, while Braudilio Rodrigues and Jonathan Bell were both announced on Friday.
As someone who comes from the north and really values having a public transit accessible stadium in the actual city: please no....

Nice piece with insights from Frei, and also from Schmetz on the curious case of the missing Josh Atencio....
As much as I’d like to see him on the pitch, I am glad that they’re being super cautious. Two concussions in short order is no joke. Let’s let him get fully healthy so he can have a long career and life!
Seems unlikely, but I guess if the Sounders really want to open up the spot and there are no bidders - could we see something where they eat part of the $3.2M he’s due next year and send him back to Universitario?...
TD;DR (Oshan’s predictions)...
Details in the link - almost all the content will continue to be free and in front of a paywall, but they’re asking for people to subscribe to make this a sustainable long-term venture....
At some point in the match, Frei dislocated his pinkie. He apparently played through the injury and then he and goalkeeping coach Tommy Dutra basically just pushed it back into place after the game....
Schmetz:...

Long expected, but big news. Get tickets for the post-WC Ol reign games to see off the legend!
Really feel for Rowe… What a bummer. Sounds like a pretty bad quad injury.
I can’t link it here due to ongoing Twitter nonsense, but the video embedded in this article is 🔥🔥🔥. Leo’s primal scream, Albert’s yell and then shocked face as he gets mobbed, Nouhou jump-dabbing (?) into the frame, and then AB jumping in to pump up ECS. What a great moment.
Among other things, the Sounders addressed rumors they are interested in buying OL Reign.
Jeremiah’s take on the puzzling lack of rotation is a good one. I think that we all sort of felt like this result was coming yesterday - the story is too familiar....
