[@mattylynnbarnes3035]

Solid showing for Sacramento, they should be proud. Very impressed by their keeper's two big saves

[@LouieLewLou1]

Love when my sounders win. I know this is off-topic, but can we not also have some thumbs up for that slide that’s in the background .

It's part of the California State Fair, apparently, looks like fun

@@snailbaitvery fun 😀 I’m a fan of sac and I go to the fair every year 😊

[@mercator79]

tons of respect for years now for the Republic. A really solid team. GG

[@SacRepublicSC]

Gg, but we were missing our playmaker roro Lopez and proven goalkscorer Russel cicerone. Outcome would’ve been very much different

[@radjaringoringo6645]

Great team win! I’m happy Schmetzer played the starters….but man Andrew Thomas did notttt have a good showing 😅

[@fleshpot7689]

Ya what was he doing jumping up on that goal? Jumped the same time as the guy who headed it... looked like a scared cat

[@kegger3152]

@@fleshpot7689 At that distance you have to guess and hope for the most part. You make yourself as big as possible in what you believe is the most likely target area for the header. Given the ball shape, position, and height, he guessed the forward would try to head it in around head height. He guessed wrong, but did the right thing.

I agree with the making yourself bigger, but leaving your feet takes all your options away.

[@SacRepublicSC]

Definitely a fine game played by sounders, but you gotta think about this, we lost our 10 year loyal captain to an acl injury ( he was our playmaker and that role obviously went over to parano who is doing a good job but he is more selfish) and our goalkscorer Russel cicerone on ankle injury. The outcome would’ve been very much different. At least taken the game to overtime. We definitely would’ve won imp. Gotta focus on the league now.

[@kegger3152]

@@ChrisHinton1967 At that range, there are no options. It either hits you or it doesn't.

Go Sounders

[@christianmartinez2616]

Wheres the handball and offside in the highlights?

[@SacRepublicSC]

LOL it was made by Sounders so of course they won’t show it 🤷‍♂️

[@thirtyeyes]

Wanted to see the equalizer goal that was ruled offsides. I heard it was a close call. Also, the handball in the penalty area. I was staring right at it, sure looked like it hit the upper arm near bicep.

[@SacRepublicSC]

Very close call. Was at the game. Definitely onside in my opinion, also was a handball not shown in the highlights and was even checked by VAR and no call. Pretty shameless tbh

[@saraportillo4648]

I wish my Sacramento won

[@johnnyr790]

I need a tryouts for sounders pls

[@adamcottrell6454]

Unlucky Sac! Concentrate on winning the league now 👌 HTAFC fan.

[@ThatMooKoo]

Ragen not starting, thank-you!

[@Vr_Tank]

The referee was on something that game, absolute disgrace, I was there

[@danielbailey9049]

Not really. Being there gives you less of a vantage point to be honest

[@Vr_Tank]

@@danielbailey9049 there was a obvious handball and the ref didn’t call it

[@rileyburnett720]

They have VAR now. VAR probably said it was not a handball

[@user-pl4xz1cd2x]

i was there too. they didnt use var 😢

[@sparkyconnect1]

The goal that was called for offsides…no VAR and not in the recap Hmmmmm….
