Two things: "concern" is not "panic." Very different states of mind. And I've never seen a ratio like this.
Sounder at Heart@sounderatheart.com · 3h agoSchmetzer: “Am I concerned? Of course. But look at the end of the day, could we have won the game? Maybe. The men's hockey team in nineteen eighty beat us beat the Russians. And we beat Miami last year in Leagues Cup final. We were the underdogs. So things like that can happen.”
The Seattle Sounders will never stop innovating. They're about to become the first MLS team to lose a Leagues Cup game in Mexico. You absolutely have to hand it to them.
I legitimately wouldn't have cared if the Timbers didn't "qualify" for this year's edition of Leagues Cup. But they're in it anyways. Might as well try to win it! #RCTID

Leagues Cup: Portland Timbers-Club Puebla Preview (8/6)
The momentum, for the first time in a couple years, is tangible. After entering the World Cup break to a chorus of boos and a run of very poor results, the Portland Timbers have authored a 4-game unbe...

Callaghan has done it again, folks. However, if I might poke the tiniest hole in this outstanding piece of Sounderfreude, I'm afraid that beached whales have a much worse fate in Oregon than simply getting gutted. #RCTID
Cal Bluechel@calbluechel.bsky.social · yesterdayThe #Sounders are in their worst position all season after their sixth straight loss. How did the team react after dropping a winnable game 2-1 to the Portland Timbers? www.cascadiafc.com/seattle-soun... for @cascadiafc.bsky.social:

Training notes: -Battle of the day was between Velde and T2 goalkeeper Sam Joseph, who kept chirping at each other after facing one another in shooting drills. -Guerra scored an unbelievable bicycle kick and got applauded by the entire squad. #RCTID
"That experience last year, losing on penalties was very disappointing. We're definitely looking forward to playing them again." -Finn Surman on Club America #RCTID
"You're right to say that he's revitalized the squad. There's a new voice and a new energy. Him and the staff have done an amazing job of keeping the squad together." -Finn Surman #RCTID
"I think that Kamal and I have done a good job in these four games at dealing with the striker." -Finn Surman #RCTID
"All types of competitions are different. When you have this competition, it's exciting because it's something different than normal MLS games." -Finn Surman #RCTID
Jack Cassidy says that Alexander Aravena is dealing with a "longer-term" injury and James Pantemis is out for Thursday's game. #RCTID
Jack Cassidy says his biggest adaptation as a coach has been adjusting to the travel demands of coaching a team in the United States. #RCTID
"In order to compete in the MLS games, we're really going to have to compete in these games." -Jack Cassidy #RCTID
"It's rather unique to get a tournament that combines two different leagues from two different countries. We're excited for it." -Jack Cassidy #RCTID
"I've picked Thursday's team to win the match and with Sunday in mind." -Jack Cassidy #RCTID
Good morning from a smoky Timbers training in Beaverton. Vincent Janssen and Gage Guerra are participating in full group drills. James Pantemis is on the side. #RCTID
The Timbers have released their Leagues Cup roster. Eric Izoita, Lucas Fernandez-Kim, Noah Santos, Sam Joseph, and Nicklas Lund are the T2 callups. #RCTID
If only there was an interim currently on the coaching staff who could probably pick up the pieces of this mess. This person probably exists, right? #BAONPDX
Chris Rifer@chrisrifer.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Thorns made a big bet firing Rob Gale after a solid season. They mishandled the hiring process by letting it drag into the season—being bailed out by their interim doing a good job. And now their late-arriving new hire is floundering. A very bad look for Agoos and company right now. #BAONPDX
Did I say RAJ Sports isn't trying their hardest? I wonder if that's somewhat relevant today. #BAONPDX
Jeremy Peterman𓅪@jeremypeterman.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Portland Timbers have the juice again. Two legendary victories against 5eatt1e will do that. But the work is just beginning. They have to stay aggressive, or this excellent run of form will become an afterthought. #RCTID
As the Seattle Sounders enter uncharted waters for the first time in 52 years, their quest for the moon to balance Schmetzer's ocean is still ongoing. He clearly can't do it all himself. #RCTID
