minutes of USA vs Japan… but it can’t be a coincidence the U.S. finally gets the win once Cristian Roldan starts.😉

The Seattle Sounders prove quality depth and mentality > spending all your money on names and star power.

Miss you Seattle…

One of my favorite thing about the Seattle Sounders is when they are firing on all cylinders, goals can come from anywhere - whether it’s a starter or depth from the bench.

DeAndre Yedlin is an RSL man now and I love it.

At this point, it wouldn’t be an RSL game without a little bit of drama. In my opinion? Should be a red card for Zaha. Argument to be made for violent conduct.

. @proreferees.bsky.social need some serious help this year. Week after week atrocious and utterly embarrassing officiating.

So envious of all the photographers in that stadium tonight…

It’s hot. Stay hydrated.

There is no reason why the Seattle Sounders couldn’t be playing like this in league play.

Yikes.

MLS After Dark really is something

This might be the most Seattley second half Seattle has ever Seattled this season lol

Mark my words, Andrew Thomas will one day be known as one of the greatest keepers in MLS.

Frei being evaluated for head and neck injury but he was conscious and moving when he came off field. ‘He’s going to the hospital, but he is fine’ Schmetzer said.

A chef’s kiss goal.

Diogo honoring Diogo. 🇵🇹

My hipster moment is being a Diego Luna fan before he became a #USMNT star.

Since his debut with El Paso on May 8, 2021, Diego Luna has consistently been one of the best players on the pitch, no matter what team he is playing for or against. Just look at this second assist. Earlier in the game, seconds after subbing on, he almost found his debut goal too (at 17!).

50' GOOOOOOALLLLL SOUNDERS! ALBERT RUSNÁK! SEA 1 | ATM 2 #SEAvATM | Watch Free on DAZN

Grass in Lumen Field…

Diego Luna is the USMNT’s best and you cannot change my mind.

This past weekend I shot my first international game - Mexico vs Switzerland. Needless to say, I’m hooked. It was fast paced, it was exciting, and it was so much fun to shoot!

These two red cards tonight make the previous referring decisions to not show a second yellow all that more upsetting…

At least the ref in this Seattle game didn’t pull out a yellow and put it back in his pocket this time? That happened twice this season, so this was the third time by my count the Sounders should be up a man but the ref opted to not give a second yellow.

While we wait for kick off between Real Salt Lake and LA Galaxy, here are some frames from the last time the two played in Sandy, Utah.📸

De La Vega and Ryan Kent on the wings is just deadly stuff. Especially when you can serve to a white-hot Musovski and a tap-in-ready Rusnak.

Is it just me or have Salish Sea kit games been real entertaining every time?

So happy to see Musovski hit his stride in Seattle! Especially after last season and his time in RSL where he did not meet expectations.

✅ Sounders 4-1 ✅ Reign 1-0 ✅ Mariners 2-1 I love Seattle sports

Golden hour on Capitol Hill was pretty nice. This warmer weather in Salt Lake City has been wonderful.

It just doesn’t seem this three in the back system is working for Seattle right now. That transition has been brutal tonight…

Real Salt Lake’s Diego “No Big Deal” Luna

That’s Utah’s Male Athlete of the Year Diego Luna to you!

Say no to AI generated art, y’all.

Goalkeepers usually end up celebrating alone.

I was not ready or fast enough to get this close-up celebration on the only lens I had (100-400). But I sure as hell tried lol

Friday night dice and stories

The Fox Sports presentation feels so clunky after years of seeing how clean and minimal the Apple look is.

I wish I would have started sports photography in high school…

Diego Luna earns another well-deserved national team call up! This time taking on Panama in the Nations League semifinal 🇺🇸

I have so many thoughts on this I don’t even know where to begin. For what it’s worth, I love MLS and dream of a day when it second only to NFL (loftier dream is it surpassing NFL). But there is a lot that needs to change - and needs to stop changing - within the league.

After the thrill of a 5-2 thrashing in Seattle, RSL’s 3-1 defeat was a little frustrating. So many opportunities and RSL deserved more of a result from tonight. No photos from the game from me, tonight I was a fan.

HUGEEE HOME DUB

Seattle is showing their depth! LAFC has been dismantled this afternoon

Is it safe to say the Seattle Sounders development system is top tier in MLS? Rivaling the likes of RSL and FC Dallas. Rothrock, Minoungou, now Kossa-Rienzi and those are just the recent ones...

A LOT of rotation for Seattle, which can only be expected. This will be Seattle's fourth game in two weeks with two more games next week for a total of six games in three weeks. Including international travel. That is exhausting.

A few teams here - including RSL - sitting on a whole lot of GAM…
