Neither of them put the ball in the net which is the point here, they haven't been putting the ball in the net. Having shots cleared off the line or saved and underperforming your xg by almost 3 goals doesn't win you playoff matches.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

Another interesting stat is Musovski only has 3 goals (MLS) all season vs teams that made the playoffs. He basically scores opportunistic close range goals vs teams with bad defense. that's great! but not gonna work in most playoff games, illustrated by his 2 bad misses last night. #ebfg #Sounders

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

The fwds can't finish. Since Morris returned from his latest injury: him & Musovski have combined for 2 goals in 8 matches. Since scoring in the Leagues Cup semi & final, Osaze has played a total of 69 minutes, and has now been an unused sub 4 straight matches. Makes you wonder..

Sounder at Heart @sounderatheart.com · 2d

Well, Moose is definitely racking up xG.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

bingo! unacceptable from coach's perspective. can't annoy one of the veterans on the team, irrespective of the underlying stats all making an obvious recommendation...

What’s the downside to subbing in Thomas? Hurting a vet’s feelings?

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

if you're shocked you don't know Brian Schmetzer's track record of relying on "his dudes" way past where the logic ceases. (1000% agree Thomas should have been in goal)

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

it's almost like if the Sounders had a gk in the squad who has won multiple pk shootouts in his career they should have put him in goal for this shootout 🤔

Matthew Doyle @mattdoyle.bsky.social · 2d

Dayne St. Clair vs. Stef Frei in a PK shootout is maybe the biggest PK shootout mismatch in the history of the league.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

obv no one asked this question in the press conference lol, despite it dominating online reaction to the game... most obvious sub ever and (of course) it wasn't made.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

lol hard disagree on that. Frei is bad at penalties and we all know it. Bringing on Thomas does nothing but improve the odds.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 2d

not bringing on Andrew Thomas for pks was absurd. like what tf is Brian thinking?

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 6d

really liking what Marchment is adding to the Kraken this season so far

Alison Lukan @alisonl.bsky.social · 6d

Made ya look LOL

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 6d

weird take, massive deflection on the shot. looked like #22 Ryan and maybe a couple others far too passive in closing down that loose ball after the initial inability to win the ball in. Bad set piece defending to blame on both goals

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 7d

zero financial details about the contract in this article? unimaginable in serious sports leagues

Good morning, it’s the 3rd day of the NBA season and Chauncey Billups has been arrested by the FBI.

I guess the writing really was on the wall for RSL the other week when the highly depleted Sounders squad (to the point they made emergency hardship signings from the Defiance) completely controlled the match and blanked them in Seattle.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 7d

RSL out here teaching clinics on how not to defend a corner. My goodness.

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 7d

Orlando's showing tonight is making a great case to stop letting the 9th best team in the conference into whatever-we-call-this postseason match.

Another alt location for an MLS game tonight, but I guess at least when the Chicago Fire have to move due to conflict with another sports league they don't have to play in a baseball stadium

It was shit. He was flying a jet crowned like a king, and dumping shit on protesters.

If such high-profile journalists can’t use simple and direct language to describe what we’re all seeing then why should readers trust them?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 11d

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

The Kraken walking into Toronto wearing Mariners jerseys and proceeding to beat the Leafs tonight is just 🔥

Everything Hockey @ehclothing.bsky.social · 11d

The Kraken repping the Mariners as they sit one game away from the World Series. Seattle sports are buzzing!

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 11d

so they're allowed to say it's a dive, no pen, but then not provide the mandated punishment for diving? make that make sense.

1

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 11d

sure, but it's either a pen or a yellow for diving, and neither was awarded so it's just more trash officiating.

1

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 11d

another example of absurd var 💩 in this league. video sure looks like contact from his foot onto Morris, and if they decided there wasn't any contact shouldn't it be a yellow for simulation the way he went down? nonsensical decision.

1

Adam Wesley @adambwesley.bsky.social · 11d

that was a pen. more embarrassing mls officiating.

Levi Porter @levibrooke.bsky.social · 11d

None of these VAR angles are showing a clear and obvious error. The commentary crew is just making shit up.
