PORTLAND TIMBERS vs SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC PROVIDENCE PARK, Portland, Ore. April 5, 2014 (WEEK 5, MLS Game #35)

12 noon PT (NBC SN)

The first Cascadia Cup of the new season kicks off a weekend of rivalry matches when the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders FC renew their pitched battle on Saturday afternoon at Providence Park. The Timbers come into the game looking for their first victory of the season, following a 2-1 loss at FC Dallas last weekend. Sounders FC start a long road swing after a late 2-1 home loss to the Columbus Crew a week ago. REFEREE: Hilario Grajeda.

Sounders FC have recorded the only road win in the all-time MLS series between the clubs, a 3-2 win July 10, 2011.  The clubs have a long history against each other, dating back to the North American Soccer League, when the Timbers played their first ever game against Seattle on May 2, 1975. In more recent times, the teams met in back-to-back years in the U.S. Open Cup, with the MLS Sounders defeating the D-II Timbers in both 2009 and 2010.  Versions of the club have faced one another in the NASL, Western Soccer League, APSL/A-League/USL First Division and now MLS. Overall, the clubs have met 84 times in official competitions, Seattle winning 42 times, Portland winning 31, and 11 draws.  Coaches record: Caleb Porter vs. SEA: P3 W1 L1 T1 … Sigi Schmid vs. POR: P8 W3 L2 T3 PORTLAND TIMBERS The Portland Timbers remained winless to open the 2014 season, seeing FC Dallas hit for a late winner in a 2-1 loss Saturday evening at Toyota Stadium. The Timbers are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 2 points from 4 games. LAST MATCH  Before halftime, both teams were a man down as Portland’s Michael Harrington and FCD's Je-Vaughn Watson were both sent off by referee Sorin Stoica in the 39th minute for an off-the-ball incident.  FC Dallas took the lead in first-half stoppage time. Jair Benitez played in a far-post cross which was headed into the ground by Kellyn Acosta, and then headed past Timbers goalkeeper Andrew Weber by an unmarked Blas Perez.  But the visitors drew level on an odd play in the 66th minute. Portland forward Maximiliano Urruti’s pass for substitute Kalif Alhassan deflected off the foot of Dallas captain Matt Hedges, wrongfooting goalkeeper Chris Seitz as it caromed into the net.  Yet FC Dallas had one final answer. After the ball was sent back into the danger zone following an FCD free kick, Mauro Díaz shifted to his right in the heart of the area and fired a low shot past Weber for the 84th-minute match-winner.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made two changes that suffered a 2-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Norberto Paparatto came into central defense in place of Mamadou Danso, and Maximiliano Urruti started in attack in place of Steve Zakuani.  PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-2-1-3): Andrew Weber - Jack Jewsbury (Frederic Piquionne 87), Pa Modou Kah, Norberto Paparatto, Michael Harrington (ejected 39) - Diego Chara, Will Johnson - Diego Valeri - Darlington Nagbe (Alvas Powell 46), Maximiliano Urruti, Gaston Fernandez (Kalif Alhassan 62). TEAM NEWS  The Timbers have started the season winless in their first four games for a second straight season (0-1-3 last year; 0-2-2 in 2014). After the season-opening four-game winless run last year, the Timbers won their next two games and reeled off 13 games without a loss.  “It would be easy to get down and frustrated and start worrying, but we’re not going to do that because we know we have a good team and we know what we’re capable of,” Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said. “It seems like I keep saying that, but at the end of the day, if we weren’t playing well I’d be worried. But we’re playing well.”  Said midfielder Will Johnson: “If we start to turn ourselves and let the frustrations of the losses build up, that’s where you run into trouble … We have to keep building and realize we’re four games in to a 34-game season.”  For a second consecutive game, the Timbers finished a man down after Michael Harrington was sent off along with FC Dallas midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson for a first-half incident. Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts was sent off the week before.  “It’s a chess match. I prepare for it mentally because you never know when it’s going to happen. Again, we’ve had two of them in four games,” Porter said. “Makes it difficult but I thought we handled it well, managed it well tactically. I thought the guys executed the second half exactly how we wanted them to.”  Andrew Weber made his first start for the Timbers in goal, credited with 2 saves, with Ricketts suspended. Weber had made five starts over the last two MLS seasons with Seattle.  There will be an injury concern for the Sounders FC match after Darlington Nagbe was forced injured from the field at halftime. Nagbe has appeared in 52 consecutive league matches for the Timbers. Porter said Nagbe picked up a “knock” against FC Dallas and the team is “definitely preparing to play without” him.  After moving to the substitutes’ bench for the Colorado match, Maximiliano Urruti returned to the starting lineup, coming in for Steve Zakuani, who did not feature in the Dallas match. SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC returned home and lost for a second consecutive match at CenturyLink Field, the Columbus Crew hitting for a dramatic late winner in a 2-1 win on Saturday evening. Sounders FC are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 6 points from 4 games. LAST MATCH  Seattle opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. A pass from Obafemi Martins from the midway line put Kenny Cooper into space behind the Columbus defense, and after a long run he rifled his shot inside the far post from the left side of the box.  The match took a dramatic turn in the 58th minute. Crew forward Dominic Oduro was able to get behind the Sounders FC defense and drew a penalty from center back Djimi Traore, who was also shown a red card for his foul. Federico Higuain blasted the subsequent penalty into the back of the net to level the score at 1-1.  The Crew then scored the winner four minutes into stoppage time. From a short corner, Higuain found Justin Meram unmarked at the top of the penalty area and he curled home a stunning strike from the left side of the box high inside the far post.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made one change to the team that defeated the Montréal Impact 2-0 at Olympic Stadium. Michael Azira came into the midfield in place of Andy Rose.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-3-3): Stefan Frei - DeAndre Yedlin, Djimi Traore (ejected 58), Chad Marshall, Dylan Remick - Michael Azira, Osvaldo Alonso, Gonzalo Pineda - Kenny Cooper (Jalil Anibaba 60), Obafemi Martins (Leo Gonzalez 86), Lamar Neagle (Sean Okoli 76). TEAM NEWS  Sounders FC have suffered back-to-back home losses for the first time since May 12-23, 2012, when they lost games to Real Salt Lake and Columbus in successive starts in Seattle. The Sounders’ next three games are away from CenturyLink Field beginning with the trip to Portland.  “It's frustrating obviously. to get scored on in both the circumstances; the penalty kick, and then towards the end not being turned on and they get a quick corner kick right at the end,” said striker Lamar Neagle. “It's very frustrating I think, especially after the first that we had. I feel like it was one of the better halves that we have put together as a team.”  Kenny Cooper scored his first goal with Sounders FC, making a second consecutive start.

“It always feels good to score, whether it's yourself or your teammate. It's one of the best feelings in the game. In front of these fans, obviously, it's that much more special,” Cooper said. “It was a great team buildup. Oba [Martins] put me in so well and I'm just glad it ended up in the back of the net." Michael Azira made his first MLS start, coming into the three-man midfield in place of Andy Rose. Gonzalo Pineda started a second consecutive match in midfield, again playing the full 90 minutes. “I thought Azira was fine. I thought Azira played well. Again I thought the three midfielders, Osvaldo [Alonso], Azira, and [Gonzalo] Pineda were good,” said Schmid. “ … (Pineda is) good with the ball, he's got good vision, he finds people, hit a couple of good free kicks and corners.” Sounders FC have run out an unchanged back four for each of the opening four matches of the season, but there will be a change this weekend after Djimi Traoré was sent off just before the hour in the Columbus game. “I thought we handled it OK for the most part, tried to get some fresh legs on with Sean Okoli and Leo Gonzalez, and had to make the switch with [Jalil] Anibaba so we could get back to our four in the back,” Schmid said. “So I thought we handled it OK.”

LAST MATCH RECAP The Timbers battled back from a halftime deficit to level the match in the second half, but an 84th-minute, game-winning goal from Mauro Diaz lifted FC Dallas to a 2-1 victory at Toyota Stadium on March 29. Both sides played a majority of the match with 10 players due to first-half red cards. On the road, the Timbers controlled the game over the opening 30 minutes of the match, and the backline did not allow FC Dallas a shot opportunity until the 27th minute. Before the first half came to a close, referee Sorin Stoica issued straight red cards to Portland’s Michael Harrington and FC Dallas’ Je-Vaughn Watson near the 40th minute for a play off the ball, forcing the two clubs to finish out the match a player short.

Providence Park opened on April 14, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd in the Timbers first-ever home match as an MLS team. The club proceeded to sell out 51 consecutive regular season home games in the team’s first three MLS seasons, even after raising the 86-yearold downtown venue’s capacity from 18,627 to 20,647 in 2013. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regularseason home record in 17 games, which was the best home record in MLS. For the 2014 season, the stadium’s capacity was expanded to 20,814.

HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turnaround season in 2013, his first season in MLS and as the club’s head coach. He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. Porter was named the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Portland to a 14-5-15 (57pts) record, finishing the regular season in first place in the Western Conference and with the third-best record in the league – just two points shy of MLS Supporters’ Shield-winners New York Red Bulls. In 2013, the Timbers set new single-season club marks in points, wins, goals (54), goal differential (+21), shutouts (15) and fewest goals allowed (33). Under Porter, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turnaround seasons in MLS history in 2013. In comparison to Portland’s 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season are tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season. In 2013, the Timbers ranked third in MLS in goals scored and conceded the second-fewest goals at 33, giving the club a league-best, plus21 goal differential. The club also led the league with 15 shutouts, tied for third-most in a single season in MLS history. During the regular season, the Timbers assembled one of the longest unbeaten streaks in MLS history at 15 games. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park. The club also set an MLS single-season record with 11 home shutouts. Among Porter’s achievements during the 2013 season, the club’s 57 points accrued are the most earned by a first-year head coach in MLS since the league’s inaugural season in 1996. Porter’s winning percentage (.632) in 2013 ranked among the best in league history for first-year MLS head coaches, and the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten streak is the longest by an MLS head coach in his first full season at the helm. Under Porter in 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. By defeating rival Seattle Sounders FC in the Western Conference Semifinal, the Timbers became just the fifth club in MLS history to reach the conference championship in their MLS Cup Playoff debut, and the first since Real Salt Lake in 2008. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron from 2006-12. He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 at Akron and owned the highest winning percentage (.832) among all active Division I coaches. Porter garnered numerous honors while at Akron, including 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. From Kalamazoo, Mich., Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA College Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010, and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010. In all, he guided Akron to seven Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular-season championships, five MAC tournament titles and five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16 (2008-12). Porter set multiple NCAA records while at Akron, including a 48-match, home unbeaten streak (44-0-4) from 2008-11 and a 47-match unbeaten streak (44-0-3) in conference play from 2006-12. Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and he spent three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team from 2009-11. Prior to joining Akron, Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University. As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional playing career in 2000. Porter also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. He had a successful collegiate playing career at Indiana, where he was a three-year captain and a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Porter led the Hoosiers to four conference titles, and four NCAA tournament appearances. As a senior, Porter captained IU to 23 consecutive wins before losing to eventual national champion UCLA in the national semifinals and was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC AT PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2014 ALL-TIME SERIES NOTES One of North American soccer’s longest and most heated rivalries, the Pacific Northwest derby between the Timbers and Sounders dates back to the 1975 North American Soccer League (NASL) season, Portland’s first year as a professional club. The two sides first played each other on May 2, 1975, in Portland’s first match in the NASL, with the Sounders taking a 1-0 win in front of 8,131 fans at a rain-soaked Civic Stadium (now Providence Park) in Portland. Saturday’s match marks the 85th all-time meeting between the clubs. The Timbers have registered an overall record of 31-42-11 all-time against Seattle and a record of 4-3-3 during the MLS era, in all competitions. At home, Portland is 2-1-1 against its Pacific Northwest neighbors. The Timbers have earned a 2-3-3 overall regular-season record against Seattle since 2011. Last season, the Timbers earned a 1-1-1 regular-season record against Sounders FC, fighting back for a 1-1 draw at Seattle on March 16, 2013, in the first road match of the year. Seattle grabbed a 1-0 win at CenturyLink Field on Aug. 25, and Portland grabbed a 1-0 win at Providence Park on Oct. 13. The Timbers then went on to win back-to-back games over Seattle in the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs.

LAST TIME VS. SOUNDERS FC The Timbers moved into first place in the Western Conference following a 1-0 win over Seattle Sounders FC at Providence Park. Midfielder Kalif Alhassan struck for the decisive goal in the 45th minute, giving Portland a then-fourth straight win at home in its 100th match as an MLS club. Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts logged two saves, including one in the 80th minute on a diving effort to deny a late chance, to pick up his 12th shutout of the 2013 season.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC AT PORTLAND TIMBERS SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2014 SCOUTING SOUNDERS FC

UPCOMING MILESTONES

Kicking off the 2014 MLS season, Sounders FC have split their first four games, winning two and losing two - including a 2-1 setback against the Columbus Crew on March 29 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. A stoppage-time winner from Columbus substitute midfielder Justin Meram helped send 10-man Sounders FC to their second loss of the season. Forward Obafemi Martins leads the team with one goal and two assists, while midfielder Clint Dempsey and forwards Kenny Cooper, Chad Barrett and Lamar Neagle have all recorded one goal apiece this season. Goalkeeper Stefan Frei has registered two shutouts, including three saves in a 1-0 win over defending MLS Cup champions Sporting Kansas City. Seattle has undergone a number of changes since 2013, notably trading midfielder Mauro Rosales to Chivas USA, forward Eddie Johnson to D.C. United and defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado to Chicago. Seattle also declined the contract option on 2013 starting goalkeeper Michael Gspurning.

Defender Futty Danso’s next start will be the 50th start of his MLS career, all of which have come as a member of the Timbers.

THE IRONMAN

The Timbers know how to put on a show for national television - combining with opponents for an average of nearly three goals per game on national broadcasts since the 2011 season. During the 2013 season, the Timbers compiled a 7-2-2 regular-season record in national television broadcasts.

Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started 52 straight league games for the club dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In his fourth year with the team, Nagbe has appeared in 71 of the team’s 72 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 MLS season. Nagbe is the club’s MLS career leader in goals (17) and appearances (99).

CREATING CHANCES Through four games, the Timbers rank among league leaders in several offensive categories. Portland ranks second in the league with 58 total shots while placing second in overall chances created (41). Portland has created 35 scoring chances from the run of play, which ranks second overall in MLS.

SOLID DEFENDING According to Opta, the Timbers have started the season as one of the league’s best defensive units. Portland leads the league with 96 total tackles, including a league-best 83 successful tackles. The Timbers rank fourth in MLS with an 86.5 percent tackle success rate. The club is fifth in the league in clearances (123), including 68 headed clearances, which also ranks fifth in MLS.

NEARING THE CENTURY MARK Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe’s next appearance will see him reach the 100 games played milestone for Portland. The team’s first-ever MLS SuperDraft pick - the No. 2 overall selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft - Nagbe currently has 99 appearances for the Timbers, which ranks him tied for 14th on the club’s all-time list across all eras since 1975.

HOME WINNING PCT. Timbers head coach Caleb Porter currently possesses the highest home-winning percentage (.763) among active MLS head coaches with at least 17 home games on their record. Porter has earned an 11-1-7 overall record at Providence Park as head coach. New York’s Mike Petke (.737) ranks second, while LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena (.712), Houston’s Dominic Kinnear (.697) and Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid (.671) round out the top five.

Defender Michael Harrington is 107 minutes shy of reaching the 15,000 minutes played milestone for his MLS career.

Harrington will miss Saturday’s match serving a league-imposed, one-game suspension following a red card on March 29. Defender Jack Jewsbury’s next goal will be his 25th career MLS goal. Jewsbury has scored 10 of his 24 career MLS goals as a member of the Timbers.

AMONG LEAGUE LEADERS Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri leads Major League Soccer with 15 shots in four games; his six shots on goal is one shy of the league lead. Forward Gastón Fernández ranks as one of several players vying for the early league-lead in goals. Fernández has scored two goals in four games, just two off league leaders Erick Torres (Chivas USA) and Vicente Sanchez (Colorado). As a team, the Timbers rank first in the league in blocked shots with 19.

FORTRESS Portland is unbeaten in its last 17 regular-season home matches at Providence Park, putting together an 11-0-6 record since April 6, 2013. The Timbers last suffered a loss at home on March 9, 2013, in a 2-1 setback against the Montreal Impact in the second game of the 2013 regular season.

SCORING FIRST In all competitions, including the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Timbers are 4-1-1 overall when scoring first against Seattle in MLS play. Portland has registered the opening goal in three consecutive matches (both 2013 MLS Cup Playoff games and the final regular-season meeting between the teams on Oct. 13, 2013, at Providence Park).

KEEPING THE BALL Through four matches this season, Portland has possessed the ball for an average of 52.2 percent of the time during its matches, which ranks as the fifthhighest possession average in the league.

TIMBERS ON LOAN Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson, who is on loan to USL PRO side Sacramento Republic FC, was named to the USL PRO Team of the Week for Week 2 of the seaosn after making five saves to help Sacramento to a season-opening draw against LA Galaxy II on March 29 in the club’s inaugural match.

The 2014 Cascadia Cup begins on Saturday as Seattle Sounders FC visits the rival Portland Timbers for a nationally televised road contest. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. PT from Providence Park in Portland, Ore. Sounders FC sits fourth in the Western Conference and ranks eighth in MLS with an average of 1.5 points per game. Forward Obafemi Martins holds the second-longest streak in MLS with a goal (1) or assist (2) in his past three games, and Clint Dempsey and Kenny Cooper have both scored (1) or assisted (1) in their past two games. Sounders FC has scored in the first four games of the season for the first time in club history, with all five goals scored by different players. Sounders FC will now kick off the month of April with threestraight road games, looking to extend its April unbeaten streak to 11 games after going 6-0-4 over the past three seasons. In its first road contest of the season, Seattle downed the Montreal Impact, 2-0, on March 23. The Portland Timbers are still searching for the first win of the season, marking the slowest start in club history. The Timbers have suffered two-straight losses after starting the season with consecutive home draws. Portland’s 11-1-5 home record in 2013 was the best in MLS and the club has not lost at home since March 9, 2013. Sounders FC and the Timbers have met 10 times in MLS play, including the Western Conference Semifinals of the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs. The Seattle-Portland soccer rivalry dates back over four decades to 1975, with the Sounders holding the all-time advantage at 42-31-11.

SerieS noteS Sounders FC holds the advantage in MLS regular-season play at 3-2-3, outscoring Portland 11-8. The two rivals also met in the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs with the Timbers winning twice to oust Seattle from the Western Conference Semifinals. Sounders FC is 1-3-1 at Providence Park (including playoffs), earning its lone win in its first visit on July 10, 2011. In the last meeting in Portland on November 7, 2013, Sounders FC scored twice but lost, 3-2, falling 5-3 in the two-leg, aggregate-goal series. The teams also met in the 2014 preseason in Tucson, Ariz., battling to a scoreless draw on February 8. Fast Facts • Seattle has scored eight of its 11 all-time goals against Portland in the second half. • Portland has scored three times in the final 15 minutes, with five of its eight all-time goals scored in the final half hour. • In its last regular-season visit to Portland, Sounders FC was held scoreless for the first time in the series. Seattle has scored in nine of the 10 all-time meetings, including playoffs. • Seattle’s 1-0 home win on August 25, 2013, was played in front of 67,385 – the largest-ever for a soccer game in Seattle and second-largest attendance in MLS history for a standalone match. • Seattle twice knocked Portland out of the U.S. Open Cup Third Round: 2-1 at PGE Park on July 1, 2009, and 4-3 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw at PGE Park on June 30, 2010.

about Portland The Timbers are off to their slowest start in MLS history, securing two points through the opening four games. A year ago, the Timbers recorded three draws and a loss in their first four games, then won twice in a row and did not lose again until June. Portland started the 2014 campaign with home draws against Philadelphia and Chicago, and has lost the past two matches on the road to Colorado and Dallas. The Timbers have scored three times (including one own goal received) this season with no assists and have allowed six goals, including three following penalty attempts.

t i M b e r S n o ta b l e S The Timbers attack is led by 2013 MLS Newcomer of the Year Diego Valeri, who totaled 10 goals and 13 assists last season. He has started all four games this season and is still searching for his first points. Valeri is joined by a trio of forwards in Argentine strikers Maximiliano Urruti and Gaston Fernandez, and Darlington Nagbe. In his first year in MLS, Fernandez has scored twice in his first four games. Nagbe hopes to recapture the success of his 2013 season when he recorded career highs with nine goals and four assists. The midfield group also features Will Johnson and Diego Chara, and Argentine newcomer Norberto Paparatto has started three games on the backline.

Fa M i l i a r Fa C e

Goal

Former Sounders FC netminder Andrew Weber has assumed the starting goalkeeper spot in place of the suspended Donovan Ricketts. Over 108 minutes of action this season, Weber has allowed four goals for a 3.33 goals against average, making four saves. Weber played six games for Sounders FC during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, allowing seven goals in 450 minutes of action.

Sounders FC has earned six points through the first four games of the 2014 season, marking the fourth-best start in club history. Seattle earned seven points through the first four games in 2010 and 2012, and the top mark was set in 2009 when the club won its first three matches. In 2011 – Seattle’s best-ever regular season – the team started slow with just two points through the first four matches, and didn’t earn its first win until the fifth game of the season. If Seattle takes all three points at Portland on Saturday, it will be the second-best start in club history, one point shy of the 2012 start.

the

road

Sounders FC began its 2014 road campaign with a 2-0 win against the Montreal Impact on March 23 and will look to continue its winning ways with three-straight road games this month. Seattle has historically been one of the top road teams in MLS, earning the second-most road points (30-28-14, 114 points) since 2009 (LA Galaxy, 117 points). Osvaldo Alonso has played the most career road games (68) for Sounders FC, logging 5,757 minutes. Kenny Cooper has scored 30 career road goals (the most among active Sounders FC players). Head Coach Sigi Schmid holds a .464 winning percentage on the road, and his 71 road wins are the most in league history.

S o u n d e r S J o i n uSMnt Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin joined the U.S. National Team for Wednesday’s friendly against Mexico at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The two rivals battled to a 2-2 draw in the team’s last match before the final preparations camp for the 2014 World Cup. Dempsey earned his 103rd cap as he started and played the full 90 minutes. With his appearance, Dempsey passed Kasey Keller on the all-time list for appearance leaders, ranking 10th. Yedlin earned his second cap, playing the final 19 minutes as a second-half substitute. Toronto’s Michael Bradley contributed to both of the team’s goals, scoring the first from a Graham Zusi corner kick in the 15th minute and assisting Chris Wondolowski in the 28th minute. Mexico scored twice in the second half to level the match at 2-2. Dempsey and Yedlin will re-join Sounders FC ahead of Saturday’s match against the Portland Timbers.

Seattle Sounders FC will honor the 40th anniversary of professional soccer in Seattle throughout the 2014 MLS regular season, paying tribute to the original launch of the Sounders in the North American Soccer League in 1974. The yearlong celebration was developed in partnership with the Alliance Council. The ceremonial 40th anniversary match will be October 10 vs. Vancouver. Sounders FC has unveiled its 40th anniversary logo, which will be featured on the club's third kit. In addition, the logo was placed on the Rave Green kit for Seattle's season opener against Sporting Kansas City on March 8, and will also be on the kit for the team's full bowl matches and games against San Jose. In total, the 40th anniversary logo will be on the team's kit for eight regular-season matches. Sounders FC will carry 40th anniversary merchandise at the Pro Shop at CenturyLink Field and downtown Seattle. The club will also display a 40th anniversary banner in the Southeast corner of CenturyLink Field throughout the regular season. Professional soccer first came to Seattle in 1974 with the launch of the NASL Sounders. The team played two seasons at Memorial Stadium before moving to the Kingdome, averaging nearly 23,000 in attendance for the ensuing five seasons. The Sounders reached the championship game in 1977 and 1982, and set a league record with 25 wins in 32 matches in 1980. After the NASL Sounders dissolved in 1983, local teams competed in the Western Soccer League and Major Indoor Soccer League before the re-launch of the Sounders in the A-League in 1994. The Sounders won back-to-back A-League championships in 1995 and 1996 with current Sounders FC goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann in net. When the A-League became the United Soccer League's First Division in 2004, the Sounders again became champions in 2005 and 2007 under the guidance of current Sounders FC Assistant Coach Brian Schmetzer. Following the 2008 USL-1 season, the Sounders entered Major League Soccer. Former players and coaches will be honored on match day and with unique online content throughout the 2014 season. week 1 honorees Jimmy McAlister, Dick McCormick, Jeff Stock and Scott Jenkins week 2 honorees 2007 USL Champion Seattle Sounders week 4 honorees Mike England

Schmid has twice served as the U.S. U-20 National Team head coach, most recently in 2005 at the FIFA World Championships. Schmid first forged a winning tradition at his alma mater, UCLA. After serving as an assistant, he was elevated to head coach of the Bruins in 1980, beginning a 19-year run at the helm. He claimed three national titles (1985, 1990, 1997) and was named national coach of the year following the 1997 championship. His UCLA teams accumulated a record of 322-63-33.
