The ratings werenβt good, for the most part, but @realio.bsky.social found some βglimmers of hope.β

We caught up with @flyoverfooty.bsky.social to help us get a handle on todayβs opponent.

Even if you already listened to our interview with the the Roldan brothers, the video is worth watching. Fun getting to see these guys a little more relaxed than the normal setting.

The Sounders will become the first MLS team to play a Leagues Cup game in Mexico when they visit Toluca on Aug. 5.

Defend our throne π
Our Leagues Cup Phase One opponents are set!
8/5 @ Toluca
8/9 v. QuerΓ©taro
8/12 v. Chivas

The Queretaro game is the one included in season-tickets while the Chivas game is βpay as we playβ and requires an opt-out if you donβt want it.
And it looks like the Toluca game is actually on the road in Mexicoβ¦
Leagues Cup schedule is out. Sounders schedule:
Aug. 5 vs. Toluca (1)
Aug. 9 vs. Queretaro (31)
Aug. 15 vs. Chivas (15)
This is a very tough draw. Toluca currently 2 in the Liga MX table, Chivas is 3. Queretaro is 17th but Sounders would almost certainly need at least six points to advance.
A big thank you to @sounderatheart.com for giving us some of their local insights on @RedSmokeRising.bsky.com! Itβs much appreciated. Give them a follow.
tell me about itβ¦
youβre right

Weβre launching a new feature this week in which @joshonthesound.bsky.social rewatches games and shares tactical notes. Give it a look:

If you missed me raving about Mark Bronnik and Rafael Jauregui on Nos Audietis last week, you may want to catch up. Both got on the score sheet in their Next Pro debuts; Jauregui assisted Tacoma's first goal, then Bronnik equalized on their second.
Frustrating as this ongoing inability to win at RSL is, the Sounders didnβt actually play particularly bad. But @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com isnβt sure much was learned either way.

Congratulations to Nikola on making his club debut over the weekend!
Defiance storm back to force shootout, but canβt grab the bonus point in season-opener.
www.sounderatheart.com/2026/03/defi...
LAFC2 get the bonus point after winning the shootout 4-1. Two Defiance players had pens saved.
Oh, there are pensβ¦
What a season-opener for the Defiance. They fall behind 2-0 and equalize on two late goals by Yu Tsukanome and Mark Bronnick (on his debut). Yu ends up with a great look at an open goal on what turns out to be gameβs final play but shoots highβ¦
We also caught up with @usltactics.com to discuss what seems to be an opening pipeline from USL to MLS.

The Tacoma Defiance open their season tonight. Once again, theyβve got a bunch of interesting players. @twimberly23.bsky.social identified some you should be paying attention to:

One of these days, the streak will end. This was not that day.

Not sure Iβd agree with that. Definitely some poor defending but plenty of effort, especially in terms of chance creation.
Iβm sure they looked at it, but there wasnβt any evidence it was actually off.
Schmetzer also noted that the decision to pull off Yeimar and play Alex roldan at cb was purely tactical as the Sounders were chasing a 2-0 deficit.
