Sounders best record in MLS since April 30th. Split season series vs. LAG (3 goals for, 2 against on aggregate across three games). Theyve handed LAFC as many blown lead playoff losses at home (2) as the number of blown home leads across all comps in club history since joining MLS in 2009. They are the best defensive team in MLS, with the greatest GK in MLS playoff history, and they are rife with championship experience. Discount Sounders at your own risk.
@@MLSMoves He was great for Vasco, their best player even with Payet there, but nowhere near the level of guys like Hulk, Suárez, Paulinho and many others from the top 10 (out of 20) teams. Lower/mid table team player over there.
Pec has said in interviews at Vasco he was coached to play more defensively. Greg has given him freedom to play the way he wants, on the attack with the freedom to be creative.
@@Jack-cl3pe I would love to see Orlando make the final. Against the Galaxy I think Arujo and Cartagena could neutralize Ricky Puig. But first we need to get past the Red bulls which look well organized.
The Galaxy scored 2 goals total in 3 games against Seattle. Ruidiaz isnt starting and Seattle isnt voluntarily going to invite a wide open contest. Yeimar availability is a concern..
If the Sounders open up and try attacking with too many bodies forward, they’ll be giving up goals. But there was worry about Minnesota’s 5-4-1 formation being too much for the Galaxy to score against and they scored 6. So we will see what happens.
Problem for Minnesota is they gave up an early goal. So that forced them to push forward. As a Galaxy fan, the best way to play against this team is to sit deep and counter. The worst thing you can do is play a high line. If you play a high line and don't have a well-drilled aggressive press, you're signing your death warrant with Pec and Paintsil on the wings.
7:00 I disagree. I hope Seattle does go all out attack, because then I see the Galaxy curb-stomping them. LA Galaxy is very good in transition, and will very likely win any open game. Seattle's best hope is to not give up an early goal, and to sit back and counter. This way they can exploit Galaxy's vulnerabilities in preventing defensive transitions (especially if Reus starts over Delgado), and win 1-0 or 2-1, or go to penalties (where they'll have the advantage against a Galaxy side who are uniquely awful at taking PKs). I agree with the 3-1 prediction though. 12:00 Strong disagree here. Redbulls have been very fortunate this playoff run. So many missed chances by NYC and Columbus. Anything is possible but they are by far the weakest of the four remaining teams. I'd say 2-0 to Orlando.
Will definitely be more of a challenge than Rapids or Loons. I think *if* Galaxy get an early goal it should be smooth sailing. Galaxy are at their best when the opposition has to come out and play, as opposed to sitting back. Also Vanney should start Delgado over Reus imo. Would give them more cover on the defensive transition.
LA Galaxy have one of the Leagues best offenses, but are going up against the MLS's best defense. LA Galaxy didn't have much success against the Sounders during the season this year, so it should be good a match for Seattle.
Both games Sounders won were at Seattle vs an injured Galaxy side. Considering this weekend will be in LA (where Galaxy have not lost this season), against a fully healthy LA Galaxy, and Sounders are nursing some injuries, it will be tough for Seattle. But anything can happen in one game 🤷♂.
@@MLSMoves I don't think Sounders are going to win if it becomes an open game. Seattle's best chance is to not make early mistakes, be defensively stout, play on the counter, and win 1-0 or 2-1.
dissapointed that almost all you did was focus on the la galaxy attack, sounders have the best defense record in the league... its a classic soaring offense vs rock solid defense battle. saying the sounders "need 3 goals to win" is shallow analysis and as a first time listener, shows me that you are just like all the other media that just focuses on the goalscorers and attacking teams. the sounders have shown time and time again over the years that they have will have a game plan to keep any important match close, whether it is changing formation or having players across the roster step up. it could very easily be 3-1 galaxy but it should not be as straightforward as yep the galaxy have scored 5 goals per game in the playoffs so the sounders need to score 3-4 goals to win. would anyone really be surprised if it was 2-1 sounders or 2-1 galaxy?
I think that sounders have a very good defense and they conceded the least amount of goals in MLS. Frei has been playing some of the best ball of his career. I just believe that the Galaxy’s attack is too lethal. I’ll be dropping a match preview tomorrow.

Who will make it to the MLS Cup?
@@MLSMoves Seattle keeps on winning. 2 more wins and a third star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
sounders will upset Galaxy
Hoping for LA Galaxy vs NY Redbulls. Battle of MLS originals + LA vs NY.
Realistically, LA Galaxy vs Orlando is the most likely scenario.
@@AlexMAGA2024 interesting. soon we will find out
@@lenno15697 You think Orlando beats the Red Bulls?

Hey bro! You came out in MLS commercial for the Minnesota pregame against Galaxy! Was hyped. Keep pushing brotha!
Thank you for the kind words!
i still cant get over the fact that Pec was such an average player in the Brazilian league and he became LA hero here. God bless my Sounders.
Was he average in Brazil? Sometimes a change of scenery can make a player better
I think he got a lot of freedom at Galaxy to come into his own
@@MLSMoves

@@Adam-lz7sr Yes. I also think that defenders at MLS are less of a problem to him than they were at Brazilian League.
Pec has said in interviews at Vasco he was coached to play more defensively. Greg has given him freedom to play the way he wants, on the attack with the freedom to be creative.
Puig, Pec, Paintsil, Reus, Joveljic…. Should I keep going? Galaxy are winning it all!
CRAZY lineup
Reus, Brugman, Delgado, Aude, Caceres, Fagundez are all rotation players (could easily be starters). Deepest this team has ever been.
@@hengineer Forgetting Cuevas. He would easily be a starting RB on most teams.
@@lenno15697 fair
The year of redemption for the LA Galaxy!!! Predicting LA Galaxy vs Orlando
Who wins that match?
@@MLSMovesOrlando
@@Jack-cl3pe I would love to see Orlando make the final. Against the Galaxy I think Arujo and Cartagena could neutralize Ricky Puig. But first we need to get past the Red bulls which look well organized.
10th anniversary since the last cup. It's destiny!

Ruidiaz isnt starting and Seattle isnt voluntarily going to invite a wide open contest.
Yeimar availability is a concern..
Don't be surprised if Ruidiaz starts

I think it’s the only way
As an Orlando city supporter I am going with Orlando city to get the win here 2-1
Should be an exciting match!
A battle is coming
Who is winning?
La Galaxy I wish
The whole thing?
@@MLSMoves yes but got to beat everyone
Nobody is beating the Galaxy! Best team I’ve ever seen in MLS
They are special!
Sounders will win

Orlando City could make the match interesting
Red bulls all the way baby!!!
They look good!
Seattle midfield and defense are very experienced and disciplined.. enough to quell the Galaxy? I hope not.

It’s going to be tough to contain them.

The Sounders will have to score some goals if they want to win. I don’t think they can win 1-0 or 2-1
It all depends if they have the full defense available
