Confident Loons welcome surging Seattle SoundersWith a record-breaking win under its belt, Minnesota United looks to carry the momentum into a clash with Seattle Sounders FC. The reigning MLS champions come to Minnesota riding a six-match unbeaten streak that stretches back to June 21, during which time they have gone 3-0-3. Losing players to the Gold Cup didn’t slow the Sounders down and the return of Clint Dempsey and Jordan Morris gives them confidence heading into the weekend. The Loons have been dangerous at home this year, however, taking down the likes of Sporting Kansas City and Orlando City SC. MNUFC will eye more goals in this match to make up for the scoring drought it suffered earlier in July.

MNUFC dominates D.C. United 4-0Minnesota United rebounded from its winless run with an outstanding 4-0 home victory over D.C. United on Saturday. The Loons got on the board in the opening minutes thanks to a thunderous volley from Christian Ramirez following a great pass from Kevin Molino. The Trinidad and Tobago international then set up Abu Danladi just before halftime to double the lead. D.C. spotted Minnesota a third goal in the second half, as a cross from Miguel Ibarra deflected off the leg of defender Jared Jeffrey and into the back of the net. Ibarra would get a goal of his own in stoppage time with a shot that trickled in off the post after being tipped by the fingers of D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid.

• This is the first game in which video review will be in place for MLS matches. The main purpose of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is to avoid clear mistakes and make sure serious incidents aren’t missed by the head referee on the pitch. The VAR can only review four areas of a match: goals, penalty kicks, direct red cards and mistaken identity.

• Seattle last played a Minnesota team in a competitive match in 2008, when the Sounders competed against the Thunder in the USL first division. The teams had been league opponents since 1997.

• Seattle won its first MLS Cup title in 2016, defeating Toronto FC in a penalty kick shootout.

• Minnesota faces the Sounders twice in 15 days. It’s the shortest time between matches against the same opponent for the Loons in 2017.

• Seattle appeared in four consecutive U.S. Open Cup finals from 2009 to 2012. It has won the Cup four times, tied with the Chicago Fire for the record among MLS clubs.

• This match caps off a five-match homestand for MNUFC.

• Brent Kallman returns to the squad after serving a one-match suspension for yellow-card accumulation.

• Seattle Head Coach Brian Schmetzer has been involved with the team for nearly 40 years. He began his playing career with the club in 1980 during the NASL era, playing for the Sounders through 1983. He then returned to the club in 1994 when the team reformed as a member of the APSL. Schmetzer was named head coach of his hometown club from 2002 through 2008, winning a pair of A-League titles, before moving to an assistant-coach role when the team joined MLS. He was put back in charge of the squad last year and led it to its first MLS title.

• With two assists last match, Kevin Molino put up the first multi-point performance for an MNUFC player since May.

• Bobby Shuttleworth recored his fifth clean sheet and sixth win of the season last week against D.C. United.

• MNUFC’s 4-0 win over D.C. was the largest margin of victory in club history.

• Both Christian Ramirez (11G/1A) and Molino (5G/7A) have contributed to 12 goals this season.

• Five of Molino’s assists have come from Ramirez goals.

• Seattle is unbeaten in its past six matches.

• Sounders forward Clint Dempsey recently scored his 57th goal for the U.S. national team, drawing him level with Landon Donovan as the all-time leading scorer for his country.

2015 MINNESOTA UNITED FC GOAL MAPM I N N E S O TA U N I T E D N E W S A N D N O T E S

Home Comforts - Supporters Show Up in Force for HomestandMNUFC’s homestand will come to an end when it hosts Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday night, but the recent showings from supporters at TCF Bank Stadium will not soon be forgotten. The Loons have drawn crowds of over 20,000 for their past two matches and will look to do the same against Brian Schmetzer’s side, which currently sits in fifth place in the Western Conference.

Ramirez Among MLS’ Top ScorersChristian Ramirez scored his 11th goal of the 2017 campaign this past Saturday, striking first for the Loons with a thumping volley off a glorious pass from Kevin Molino in the seventh minute of the victory over D.C. The goal drew Ramirez level with some of the biggest names in Major League Soccer. The MNUFC man is tied for No. 5 in the goal-scoring charts with the likes of Sebastian Giovinco, Diego Valeri, Maximilliano Urruti, Ola Kamara and Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Boxall Bolsters Backline New Zealand international Michael Boxall got his second MLS start since joining the Loons on July 12 in the win over D.C. The center back slotted in seamlessly alongside captain Francisco Calvo, starting for the first time since his Gold Cup participation with Costa Rica. “I thought Michael Boxall was outstanding,” said Adrian Heath after the game.

Allianz Field announcementMinnesota United FC and Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz) announced a multi-year naming rights sponsorship agreement for the team’s new soccer stadium in St. Paul, Minnesota, which will be known as Allianz Field. The venue, which is being privately paid for by a partnership composed of Minnesota-based families and business leaders, is the first stadium in the state without a direct public subsidy.

Molino, Thiesson make MLS Team of the WeekFollowing the dominant 4-0 victory vs. D.C. United, two Minnesota United players — midfielder Kevin Molino and defender Jerome Thiesson — earned spots in the MLS Team of the Week for Week 21.

A beautiful pair of first-half assists saw Molino seal a place in the side for the second time this season. He last made the Team of the Week with a spot on the bench back in Week 7.

This is Thiesson’s first time being honored in the Team of the Week. He was a big part of MNUFC’s chance creation on offense and helped the squad keep a clean sheet for the fifth time this season.

Heath on Carrying Last Week’s Momentum into Seattle Match“The scoreline was pleasing for everybody, players and the supporters. But, I guarantee, we will have to play better than we did Saturday to get a result against Seattle. You know, you look at their front four of [Nicolas] Lodeiro, [Clint] Dempsey, [Victor] Mansaray, Will Bruin. Depending whoever they play, maybe Joevin Jones on wide left, he’s been playing. They’ve got real attacking threats. And they’re strong with experience everywhere else. So it’s going to be a big game for us. And what I’m looking forward to, is it’s one that we can hopefully take some confidence into.”

Calvo on What the Loons Need to Bring from D.C. Match“I think that determination when we were in front of the goalkeeper. Because I saw Miguel [Ibarra] scoring a good goal. He was determined to score. As well, Christian [Ramirez] and Abu [Danladi]. So, I think that determination is going to be a big key for us on Saturday. I don’t think that they’re better than us. Because Kansas City came here and we beat them. Orlando City, we beat them. We played better than Galaxy. We’ve been playing better than all the big teams, that MLS and all the media call big teams. So just because we are new, we cannot just be like oh, we’re the new team. No, no, no. We don’t have to put respect against them. We need to go out, enjoy, and play good. “

Video Assistant Referee Added to MLSStarting this weekend, MLS will officially add video reviews to its officiating process. The league has been testing out the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) process throughout the season. It has already been implemented in major tournaments, including the FIFA Confederations Cup.

VAR’s main purpose is to avoid clear mistakes and make sure serious incidents aren’t missed by the head referee on the pitch. They use all broadcast camera angles to review plays that fall into four categories: goals, penalty kicks, direct red cards and mistaken identity. The VAR cannot review a play outside of those four areas. Evidence must be clear and obvious to overturn a call made on the pitch.

The procedure for these reviews is similar to reviews in other sports. If the VAR spots an infraction, it can signal the head referee on the field and recommend they call for a review. The referee can then stop play, signal for a video review and go to the monitor down on the field. From there, they can make the call from their perspective or take the suggestion from the VAR. The decision is ultimately up to the head official.

Plays can only be reviewed during the same run of play or stoppage following the play in question. Once the ball is back in play on a restart, the referee cannot revisit an earlier call. They can halt play before the restart to allow the VAR to further review the call or take a look for themselves.

Any stoppage of play for review will be added to stoppage time at the end of the half.

Minnesota United FC plays in North America’s top professional soccer league, Major League Soccer (MLS). The league features 22 teams from across the United States and Canada.

After a successful bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) founded MLS to bring a top-level soccer league back to the country for the first time since 1984, when the original NASL folded. The league was set to begin play in 1996 with 10 teams: Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew (SC), D.C. United, Dallas Burn (FC Dallas), Kansas City Wiz (Sporting Kansas City), Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, NY/NJ MetroStars (New York Red Bulls), San Jose Clash (Earthquakes) and Tampa Bay Mutiny.

The league’s first match was played on April 6, 1996 as the San Jose Clash played D.C. United in front of 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium. The league drew large crowds in its opening season, pulling star power from around North America and building on the excitement of the 1994 FIFA World Cup.

As MLS has continued to grow, clubs have begun moving out of shared American football venues and into soccer-specific stadium, led by Columbus Crew (SC), who moved into the soccer-specific MAPFRE Stadium in 1999. Currently, 14 teams play in soccer-specific venues.

The league is split into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Each team plays 34 matches during the season. Teams play all conference opponents twice, once at home and once on the road, and each team in the other conference once, with an even balance of home and away matches. The remainder of the schedule is filled with matches against conference opponents. The top six teams in each conference at the end of the year qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The postseason begins with the third through sixth seeds in each conference playing in a knockout round. The winners advance to the conference semifinals to play the first and second seeds in the conference. In this round, the format switches to a two-match aggregate series, with the team scoring the most goals over the series moving on. The same format is used for the conference finals. The winner of the conference final moves on to face the other conference champion in the MLS Cup Final. The final is a single match, hosted by the team with the best record in the regular season, with the winner being declared MLS Cup Champion.

Añor signed with Minnesota ahead of its inaugural MLS season after joining the club on loan in 2016. The Venezuela-born midfielder arrived to the Loons from Sporting Kansas City and has played five total seasons in MLS (with Columbus Crew, Sporting KC and now MNUFC). He has unfortunately seen a number of injuries since a promising start to his original loan spell, sidelining him for much of the past few seasons.

Allen arrived on loan from New York Red Bulls on July 15. Before signing a Homegrown Player contract with New York in Dec. 2015, he was a three-time All-American, three-time All-Big East first-team member and MAC Hermann Trophy nominee at Georgetown, where he holds the record for highest-scoring player in school history (50 goals).

At just 25 years old, Calvo has the potential to be a familiar name in Minnesota for years to come. Whether playing at center back or left back, the MNUFC captain does well to stretch the pitch and create imbalances in the attack. He’s a standout for club and country in defense and on set pieces, scoring for the Loons in a 2-2 comeback draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 24 and for Costa Rica in a 1-1 result against Canada at the Gold Cup on July 11.

# 8 M A R C B U R C H | D E F E N D E RHeight: 6’1” Weight: 180 Birthdate: 5/7/1984 (33) Hometown: Cincinnati, OhioPrevious Club: Colorado Rapids Acquired: Trade 3/31/2017

Burch is a 12-year MLS veteran with over 200 regular-season appearances. In 2016, he set career highs with Colorado Rapids in games started (27) and minutes played (2,443). He was named to the MLS Team of the Week in Week 3 of the 2017 season after tallying an assist in Colorado’s 2-2 draw with MNUFC. He is currently recovering from successful bi-lateral sports hernia surgery, which took place on June 20. The defender’s timetable for return is 8-12 weeks.

New Zealand international Boxall joined MNUFC on July 12 after representing his country at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. He brings added MLS experience to Minnesota, having been selected first overall in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC ahead of their inaugural MLS campaign. Boxall then played for Wellington Phoenix in the A-League before joining SuperSport United in South Africa. He made his MNUFC debut in the 3-0 loss to NYRB on July 22.

Cronin brings eight years of MLS experience to MNUFC from his holding-midfield role. He was selected second overall by Toronto FC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, won the Supporters’ Shield with San Jose Earthquakes in 2012 and made his first MLS All-Star appearance as a member of Colorado Rapids in 2015. His addition to Adrian Heath’s starting XI has helped to solidify the defense; he has featured as a starter in 15 of 15 league matches with the club this season.

At 6’2”, 24-year-old Greenspan is a towering, young presence in the Loons’ back line. Selected 26th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Colorado Rapids, he arrived to MNUFC via a trade with his former club. The center back was loaned out to the USL’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds from April 10 until the end of May, where he played every minute of eight matches, making the Team of the Week twice and leading his side to four clean sheets. Greenspan made his MLS debut in a 1-0 loss to Crew SC.

De Villardi was selected No. 42 overall by MNUFC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft. The France native had four goals and 16 assists in his college career, split evenly between Duquesne University and the University of Delaware. He was named to the All-CAA First Team during his junior year, with nine assists and two goals. De Villardi suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in March 2017, but is recovering excellently since successful surgery on March 29.

# 2 J U S T I N D A V I S | D E F E N D E RHeight: 6’0” Weight: 175 Birthdate: 5/6/1988 (29) Hometown: Novi, MichiganPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 12/1/2016

Davis has spent his entire professional career with the Loons since joining in 2011. He was one of the club’s first two signings in MLS alongside his long-time defensive partner Kevin Venegas, both of whom shone in NASL competition. The left back helped Minnesota to an NASL Soccer Bowl Championship in 2011 and has numerous NASL Best XI selections to his name. Recently, he played a full 90 in a 1-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC on July 4 and a 0-0 draw with Houston Dynamo on July 19.

Norway international Demidov has had a successful career playing in Europe’s top leagues and on the international stage. The 30-year-old is a strong option at central defense and isn’t afraid to throw his weight around to disrupt opponents. He’s also an aerial threat off set pieces, using his height to soar above defenders. Demidov has seen the field 16 times for Norway, including minutes in European Championship qualifying.

# 9 A B U D A N L A D I | F O R W A R DHeight: 5’10” Weight: 170 Birthdate: 10/18/1995 (21) Hometown: Takoradi, GhanaPrevious Club: UCLA Acquired: SuperDraft (#1 Pick) 1/13/2017

Danladi was selected No. 1 overall by MNUFC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft following a highly successful career at UCLA. While there, the forward racked up a handful of Freshman of the Year awards and Pac-12 All-Conference teams, and was in the running for the MAC Hermann Trophy. He’s been bright in limited appearances for the Loons so far, most notably scoring the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory over Portland Timbers on June 21 and striking in the 4-0 victory over D.C. United on July 29.

# 1 0 M I G U E L I B A R R A | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’4” Weight: 145 Birthdate: 3/15/1990 (27) Hometown: Lancaster, CaliforniaPrevious Club: Club Leon Acquired: Transfer 1/7/2017

Ibarra returned to Minnesota after a year and a half with Club Leon in Liga MX. During his earlier tenure with MNUFC (2012-2015), he earned a pair of NASL Best XI appearances, a Golden Ball Award (MVP) and was the first U.S. lower-division player to be called up to the U.S. national team since 2005. The midfielder has featured in 20 MLS games for the Loons, starting 15 times. He scored the winner against Colorado Rapids on April 23 and capped off the Loons’ 4-0 win over D.C. on July 29 with a stoppage-time goal. He is quick and creative down the wing.

Kallman has spent his entire professional career with Minnesota United after first joining the club in 2013. He was an unused substitute in the Loons’ first two MLS games, but has since featuring in the starting lineup for 17 of 17 matches, taking on a tremendous amount of leadership and earning high praise from Heath, who described the center back’s performances this season as “excellent” on July 18, adding that “there’s not many [players]” he would swap out for Kallman in MLS.

A young, creative midfielder, Martin has featured off the bench and in U.S. Open Cup and friendly action for the Loons since joining via a trade with D.C. United in January. He has represented the United States at U14, U15 and U17 levels and was the only high-school junior to train with the U20 squad in January 2012. Martin made his first MLS start with Minnesota in the 3-0 loss to New York Red Bulls on July 22.

# 1 6 B A S H K I M K A D R I I | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 175 Birthdate: 7/9/1991 (26) Hometown: Copenhagen, DenmarkPrevious Club: FC Copenhagen Acquired: Signed 2/8/2017

A Denmark international of Albanian descent, Kadrii came up in the youth system of B.93 in Copenhagen, for whom he made his professional debut in 2008. He grew into a formidable scorer for the club, netting 18 goals in 30 appearances. Kadrii has made 11 league appearances with MNUFC, starting five times, and has yet to score an MLS goal. He did, however, score a lovely left-footed volley in the 1-1 friendly draw with Atlas FC on July 15 – his first goal for the club.

# 1 5 I S M A I L A J O M E | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 6’1” Weight: 160 Birthdate: 11/4/1994 (22) Hometown: Brooklyn Park, MinnesotaPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 2/24/2017

Minnesota native Jome first joined the Loons in 2016, making nine appearances and scoring on his professional debut. A former Minnesota Mr. Soccer, he’s primarily played as a winger and, most recently, wing back for MNUFC, using his rapid acceleration and footwork to create spaces down the flanks. After beginning the season as an unused substitute, Jome made three substitute appearances before getting his first MLS start in the 1-0 win over Orlando City SC on May 27.

# 7 I B S O N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’10” Weight: 168 Birthdate: 11/7/1983 (33) Hometown: Sao Goncalo, BrazilPrevious Club: Minnesota United FC Acquired: Signed 1/23/2017

Ibson first signed with the Loons in 2015. He’s proven a quietly exceptional possession player with excellent control in tight spaces. Not only this, his ability to beat defenders and technical footwork help to open up space for teammates and create chances further down the pitch. The Brazilian has started 17 of 19 games for MNUFC so far this season and is among the players with the most average touches per 90 minutes in MLS.

# 2 4 P AT R I C K M C L A I N | G O A L K E E P E RHeight: 6’3” Weight: 205 Birthdate: 8/22/1988 (28) Hometown: Eau Claire, WisconsinPrevious Club: Orlando City SC Acquired: Trade 1/26/2017

McLain has been a bit of a journeyman in his career, getting the majority of his playing time in USL. The Eau Claire native played his college soccer for Cal Poly, where he earned All-Big West honors and set a school record with his 0.835 save percentage. He has yet to feature in MLS play for Minnesota, but saw minutes in the U.S. Open Cup defeat to Sporting Kansas City on June 14 and kept Atlas FC scoreless after being subbed on for the second half of the 1-1 friendly draw.

Schuller is an active member of the Finland national team and joined the Loons after playing in the top leagues of his home country and Sweden. He has a deft touch from defensive midfield and is not afraid to make forays forward, but has been limited to seven league appearances (four starts) due to injuries over the first half of the 2017 campaign.

Shuttleworth spent eight seasons with the New England Revolution from 2009-2016, totaling 127 appearances, 124 starts, 34 shutouts, 344 saves and a 46-53-28 regular-season record. He anchored the squad during its run to the 2014 MLS Cup, tying the club record with 16 wins. Since joining Minnesota on February 15, Shuttleworth has made the MLS Team of the Week three times (Week 8, 10 and 16). He is also second in the league for saves, with a tally of 75.

Ramirez was one of the Loons most valuable players during his NASL career and his debut MLS campaign has been no different. The forward has 11 goals in 22 MLS appearances, scoring the winner against Orlando City SC on May 27 and a second-half brace in the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake on April 1 among other impressive performances. “Superman,” as he is fondly nicknamed, has been one of the revelations of the MLS season so far and carries Minnesota’s goalscoring load.

Molino was Orlando City SC’s first MLS signing and rejoined forces with former coach Heath when he moved to MNUFC in a major inter-league trade on Jan. 26. He’s a strong, technical player through the midfield and can dribble past defenders to create opportunities in front of goal. Molino has started 20 of 20 league matches for Minnesota, with a tally of five goals and seven assists. Most recently, the Trinidad and Tobago international contributed two assists in the 4-0 victory vs. D.C. United.

# 2 8 S A M N I C H O L S O N | M I D F I E L D E RHeight: 5’9” Weight: 157 Birthdate: 1/20/1995 (22) Hometown: Edinburgh, ScotlandPrevious Club: Heart of Midlothian Acquired: Signed 7/10/2017

Nicholson became MNUFC’s first signing of the summer on June 28. The 22-year-old joined the Loons from Hearts after playing a major role in the club’s promotion to the Scottish Premiership, scoring a career-high five goals and adding six assists. He played nearly every match in Hearts’ return to the top flight, guiding them to a spot in the Europe League. Nicholson now has his eyes set on success stateside after making his MLS debut vs. New York Red Bulls on July 22.

Jamaica international Taylor had six years of MLS experience prior to joining MNUFC, featuring for Houston Dynamo (2011-15) and most recently Portland Timbers (2016), where he started 21 of 23 matches. He is a strong and experienced defender who is not afraid to lay into his opponents despite standing at just 5’10”. Taylor has made over 80 appearances for Jamaica, including six starts (three clean sheets) during the Gold Cup in July.

Warner is a box-to-box midfielder who can cover ground and protect his attacking players. He brings great MLS experience to MNUFC; Drafted 15th overall by Real Salt Lake in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Warner appeared off and on with RSL before being taken by Montreal in the 2011 expansion draft. He played the 2016 season with the Houston Dynamo. Appearing as a starter and substitute this year, Warner has one goal to his name, in the 5-2 loss to New England Revolution on March 25.

Venegas has starred for Minnesota over his five years with the club as both a midfielder and a defender. He’s one of the most physically fit players in the squad and brings a special flair to the field, with a knack for beating defenders with his footwork when going forward. His box-to-box play as a right back earned him a spot in the 2015 NASL Best XI. This season, he’s slotted into the starting XI seamlessly on six occasions.

Venegas often featured on the wing for Montreal Impact, showing pace, flair and technique as one of the club’s most dangerous attacking players off the bench. With MNUFC, the Costa Rica international has started 11 of 15 MLS matches, scoring in the 4-2 victory over Real Salt Lake and the equalizer at Houston Dynamo. He was in and out of the side due to his participation in the Gold Cup with Los Ticos, but returned as a substitute in the 4-0 victory over D.C. United on July 29.

Thiesson spent the past six seasons in the Swiss Super League, where he started 204 of 222 matches in league play, scoring two goals. Since joining MNUFC, the Swiss native has been a mainstay in the back line, proving pivotal with his ability to play at left or right back. In addition to his defensive contributions, Thiesson has scored one goal for the Loons this season: the equalizer in the 2-2 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on June 24. He made the MLS Team of the Week for Week 21.

Heath was appointed head coach in Nov. 2016. After playing over 18 years in Europe, Heath spent the next 11 years coaching in England for clubs such as Burnley, Sheffield United and Coventry City before coming to the United States in 2008. The Englishman was named head coach of the USL expansion side Austin Aztex. The team spent two years in Austin before relocating to Orlando in 2010, to become Orlando City. In just four years under Heath, Orlando City won two USL Pro championships and three Commissioner’s Cups. The club joined MLS in 2015, and Heath’s influence helped build the team for a very successful inaugural season, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.

Fuller joined Minnesota in 2016, following a successful stint with Orlando City SC. He was a player-coach with Orlando, helping the team to multiple titles in USL during his five years with the Lions. Fuller is a Portland native and first met Heath when he joined Austin Aztex in 2010. He was promoted to player-assistant coach for the club’s USL journey and was tapped to join the coaching staff full time as an assistant coach when Orlando joined MLS.

Watson, a former Canada national team defender and assistant coach, brings a wealth of MLS experience to MNUFC, having played for teams including Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and D.C. United. Additionally, Watson managed the San Jose Earthquakes before joining Orlando City as an assistant under Heath in 2014. During his tenure at San Jose, Watson helped guide the team to a playoff berth in 2010 and the club’s second Supporters’ Shield in 2012. He was named interim head coach in June 2013 and closed the season with the best record in MLS at 11-5-3. In addition to his MLS experience, Watson previously served as assistant coach with the Canada men’s national U20 and senior teams, as well as several years as an assistant with the USL PRO Charleston Battery.

A native of Norway, Røvde brings nearly 30 years of playing and coaching experience to Minnesota. As a player, he enjoyed a very successful career, starting with his hometown club Rosenborg BK. He played with teams across Europe, featuring in top leagues in Norway and Scotland, as well as League One in England. From 2008 to 2011, he was the head goalkeeping coach of Trinidad and Tobago Professional Football League side Joe Public FC. While working with the club, he also was involved with the Trinidad and Tobago national team program, was part of the coaching staff for several youth national teams and the women’s national team, and worked as the country’s director of goalkeeping.

On the team’s mindset heading to Minnesota: ”It’s an in-conference opponent. It’s away from home. We will be prepared. Our expectations are that we go on and put on a performance that gives us a good chance to win, because it’s getting to nitty-gritty time. We have to make sure we keep making progress.”

Forward Will Bruin:

On the approach against Minnesota: “If we can get the ball in wide areas and swing balls into the box, then we’re going to give ourselves chances. My initial thoughts are that they defend kind of narrow in a 4-4-2, so if we can control tempo and move it side-to-side and get them shifting, then we’re going to get chances going forward.”

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESQUICK HITS: AT MINNESOTA UNITED FC

• Brian Schmetzer’s side extended its current unbeaten run to six matches dating back to a 1-1 draw on June 21 vs. Orlando City. Seattle had won its last three consecutive contests.

• Last weekend’s result came against newly-signed Galaxy Head Coach Sigi Schmid, with the former Sounders FC boss rejoining his old club just two days before. Schmid coached Sounders FC from the club’s inaugural MLS season until July of 2016, when Schmetzer took the helm in Seatle and led the club to its first MLS Cup. Schmid accumulated a 115-79-56 record in Seattle, en route to winning four Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles and the 2014 MLS Support-ers’ Shield.

MORRIS PLAYS GOLD CUP HEROSounders FC forward Jordan Morris scored a late winner in the 2017 CONCA-CAF Gold Cup Final, securing a 2-1 win for the U.S. Men’s National Team over Jamaica at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. In the 88th minute, Morris pounced on a settled ball from Sounders teammate Clint Dempsey after a cross into the area. The second-year pro blasted a shot into the top corner of the net so seal the tournament championship for the USMNT.

Morris finished tied for the tournament lead with three goals (Canada’s Alphon-so Davies earned Golden Boot honors via the assists tiebreaker). In addition to the goal in the Final, Morris scored a brace in a 3-2 win over Martinique in the Group Stage. The Stanford product was the only U.S. player to appear in every Gold Cup match. Along with his 2015 NCAA Championship at Stanford and last season’s MLS Cup victory with Seattle, Morris has now captured a major trophy in three different competitions in each of the past three years.

In addition to an assist on Morris’ winner, Dempsey scored his 57th career goal in the Semifinals against Costa Rica, bending a free kick through the wall and inside the near post to help Bruce Arena’s squad advance to the Final. The goal tied Landon Donovan’s all-time USMNT record, with Dempsey’s next goal set to give him sole ownership of the career scoring mark.

Dempsey was one of six changes to the 23-player 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster made by Head Coach Bruce Arena following the end of the Group Stage. As part of these changes, Sounders FC midfielder Cristian Roldan returned to Seattle after earning his first international cap against Martinique in the Group Stage. Sounders FC defender Oniel Fisher appeared in four matches for Jamaica, as The Reggae Boyz advanced to the Final after placing second in Group C, then defeated Canada and Mexico in the Knockout Round.

Additionally, Seattle’s Jordy Delem played every minute of the Group Stage for Martinique, but Les Matinino earned three points in Group B (1-2-0), falling just one point short of advancing to the Knockout Stage.

SEATTLE SIGNS RODRÍGUEZSeattle Sounders FC on Wednesday announced the signing of winger Víctor Rodríguez. The 28-year-old Spanish international comes to Seattle after nearly a decade of professional experience in Spain, including four of the past five seasons in La Liga. Rodriguez is being added to Sounders FC’s roster pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate. Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) was used to acquire Rodríguez, and per MLS and club policy, additional terms of the deal are not being disclosed.

Rodriguez joins Sounders FC after an extensive career in Spain, most recently playing for Sporting Gijón in 2016-2017, and previously for Getafe CF, Elche CF, Real Zaragoza and CF Badalona. In all, the Catalonia native spent four to-tal seasons in La Liga, making 127 appearances and scoring nine goals since 2012. In 2014-2015 while playing for Elche CF, Rodríguez made 36 appear-ances and scored four goals - a career high in La Liga - including crucial tallies against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao in back-to-back contests. He made 33 appearances and scored one goal in his first La Liga campaign in 2012-2013 for Real Zaragoza, while also appearing in five Copa Del Rey matches as Los Maños advanced to the Quarterfinals.

Rodríguez played four years in the Barcelona system as a youth before moving on to Catalan side CF Badalona, where he would eventually sign a professional contract. He spent three seasons with Badalona in the Spanish third division, as well as a loan stint with UE Vilajuïga in 2008 and 2009, before transferring to Real Zaragoza.

SOUNDERS FC at MINNESOTA UNITED FC | AUGUST 5, 2017 - 5:00 P.M. PT

LEERDAM EXCELS IN FIRST STARTSounders FC defender Kelvin Leerdam made his first MLS start on vs. San Jose on July 23, bursting onto the scene with a goal and an assist in a 3-0 result at CenturyLink Field.

In the 54th minute, Leerdam sent a long throw-in toward the area that found Gustav Svensson for a flick-on header right to Cristian Roldan, who headed the ball into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. He opened up his Sounders FC scoring account 11 minutes later, tapping a shot past Quakes keeper David Bingham after Joevin Jones’ corner kick found him amidst a crowd.

Leerdam made his club debut on July 19 vs. D.C. United as a substitute in the 54th minute. The Dutch fullback was added to Seattle’s roster on July 1 using Targeted Allocation Money (TAM), following nine professional seasons with Feyenoord and SBV Vitesse in the Eredivisie, the Netherlands’ top division.

The Utrecht native has amassed 186 career league appearances, with 16 goals and 8 assists in the Eredivisie dating back to 2008. After starring for Feyenoord’s youth club from 2005-2008, Leerdam signed a professional contract with the First Team and went on to become a regular for five seasons, accumulating over 100 appearances across all competitions for the Rotterdam side.

He moved to Vitesse in 2013, where he scored a career-high eight goals in the 2013-2014 campaign, leading the Arnhem-based club to a fourth-place finish in the table. He went on to make over 100 all-competition appearances across four campaigns for Vitesse. In total, Leerdam’s clubs have a record of 26-2-3 when the fullback registers a goal or an assist.

CLUB PARTNERS WITH WME | IMG Sounders FC announced on Wednesday that the club has engaged preem-inent sports and entertainment company WME | IMG in its exploration of a future naming rights partner for an assets package that includes the club’s jer-sey front, matchday pitch and training facility. Seattle’s deal with current jersey sponsor Xbox expires following the 2018 Major League Soccer season. “We’re excited to put the full force of an innovative company like WME | IMG behind us as we explore our future naming rights options,” said Sounders FC Chief Operating Officer Bart Wiley. “Since joining the league in 2009, Sounders FC has forged its own path and become a leader within the North American soccer landscape. As we head into our tenth MLS season, we feel that taking a fresh look at the value of our top partnership assets allows our club to achieve further success on and off the field.” Sounders FC has maintained its original naming rights sponsor, Xbox, since 2009, with the Microsoft gaming console appearing on both the team’s jersey front and as part of the club’s matchday home: the Xbox Pitch at CenturyLink Field. The new naming rights package being handled by WME | IMG includes both jersey and matchday pitch sponsorship, while also including rights to the team’s training facility at Starfire Sports in Tukwila, Washington. “We have been very pleased with our partnership with Xbox over the years and certainly plan to continue discussions with Microsoft as our current naming rights agreement comes to a close,” said Sounders FC Vice President of Cor-porate Partnerships Michael Shockley. “However, with the continued growth and popularity of MLS and our club’s sustained success on the field, we feel the time is right to explore all available partnership options to give our team every possible advantage going forward. We’re proud to be the first MLS club to work with WME | IMG and look forward to their expertise and guidance.” WME | IMG is performing a full valuation of Sounders FC’s jersey and naming rights package to aid in the process of selecting a brand that shares the same values and is best suited for the partnership. “We’re excited to bring the full resources of WME | IMG to bear on our first naming rights partnership with a Major League Soccer team,” said Sean Bar-ror, Senior Vice President, Naming Rights, IMG. “The Sounders are offering a unique package which adds additional layers to an already attractive rights package. We look forward to working with them to identify a strong partner that will help further accelerate the brand’s growth.” WME | IMG’s global partnerships division will lead discussions for the naming rights efforts on behalf of the Sounders. The division functions as a cultural marketing agency, guiding the world’s leading brands on strategy and activa-tion; sponsorships and endorsements; experiential marketing; research and insights; creative and design; public relations; and digital and original content. The group’s other recent naming rights partnerships include work with Hickory Street Capital for its new Park at Wrigley Field, the Denver Broncos for stadi-um naming rights and the Boston Celtics for its jersey patch sale.

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTESFREI MAKES MLS ALL-STAR DEBUT

Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei participated in his first MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday, as the MLS squad fell to Spanish giants Real Madrid via penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw at Soldier Field in Chicago. Frei, one of two goalkeepers selected to the MLS All-Star gameday roster, came on for starter Tim Howard at halftime and played the final 45 minutes in addition to penalty kicks.

Frei, 31, earned his first MLS All-Star recognition in his ninth professional season. The University of California, Berkeley product has played every minute of his 21 appearances so far in 2017, compiling seven shutouts with a 1.33 goals against average. After earning 2016 MLS Cup MVP honors in December against Toronto FC - his former club - Frei has further cemented himself in Sounders FC lore by passing Kasey Keller for the franchise’s record for shutouts. In total, Frei is now the Sounders FC record-holder in goalkeeper appearances (119), wins (55), saves (359) and shutouts (34).

S2 UPDATEMidfielder Zach Mathers recorded his team-leading eighth goal of the season in the second half, but Sounders FC 2 (7-12-2, 23 points) suffered its fifth con-secutive defeat in a 2-1 road loss to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC (7-8-6, 27 points) on Saturday, July 29. Now in 10th place in the Western Conference, S2 is three points shy of the postseason cutoff line. S2 returns to action with a contest against the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros next Sunday at Starfire Stadi-um (6:30 p.m. PT / Live-streamed on SoundersFC.com).

The Switchbacks opened the scoring in the 21st minute on a goal by Shane Malcolm. Mastanabal Kacher dribbled all the way to the touchline and sent a pass to the center of the area where Malcolm delivered a strike into the left side of the net for the 1-0 lead. In the 33rd minute, the Switchbacks doubled their advantage on an own goal by Francisco Narbon off a corner kick. Narbon went up for an aerial challenge when the ball bounced off him and snuck into the goal. In the 51st minute, Mathers cut the deficit in half with a well-struck free kick from just beyond the left corner of the area. The First Team midfielder’s shot blistered above the wall and through the area to find the back of the net.

SOUNDERS FC at MINNESOTA UNITED FC | AUGUST 5, 2017 - 5:00 P.M. PT

HEAD COACH BRIAN SCHMETZERAfter leading Sounders FC to one of the most improb-able comebacks in MLS history, Brian Schmetzer was named the club’s second-ever Head Coach on Novem-ber 2, 2016. Upon assuming the interim manager role on July 26, 2016 following the departure of Sigi Schmid, Seattle sat in ninth place in the Western Conference with a 6-12-2 record. Under Schmetzer, Sounders FC finished the season with an 8-2-4 record and a fourth-place finish, becoming the first team in MLS history to make the MLS Cup Playoffs after having 20 or fewer points through the first 20 matches of the season. He

is the first coach in MLS history to lead his team to the MLS Cup title after assuming the Head Coach position midseason.

A longtime Sounders FC assistant and former USL Sounders manager, Schmetzer entered his eighth season as Top Assistant Coach in 2016, a position he retained since December 22, 2008. He is one of the Puget Sound soccer community’s most recognizable and respected figures after playing and coaching for the region’s top professional franchises since 1980.

Schmetzer served seven seasons as the Head Coach of the Sounders’ United Soccer League’s First Division club from 2002-2008 before making the jump to MLS. He guided Seattle to USL-1 championships in 2005 and 2007, and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal advancements in 2007 and 2008.

Schmetzer has 14 years of coaching experience and a 15-year background playing at the professional level. He was a member of six championship teams during that span. In addition to the two USL championships, his teams also twice won the Commissioner’s Cup for the league’s best record (2002, 2007), while also qualifying for the playoffs six of seven years. He was chosen USL-1 Coach of the Year in 2002 after going 23-4-1. The Sounders were league runners-up in 2004. His overall regular season record in the USL era was 100-57-41.

Previously, he was assistant to former United States National Team defender Fernando Clavijo with the Seattle SeaDogs from 1996-1997. Seattle won the Continental Indoor Soccer League title in 1997.

A Seattle native, Schmetzer was coached by his father, Walt, as a youth. His team won seven out of 10 state youth championships. He signed with the Sounders’ North American Soccer League franchise following his graduation from Seattle’s Nathan Hale High School in 1980. He played three seasons as a midfielder for Seattle before going to Tulsa for the final NASL season in 1984.

Schmetzer signed with the San Diego Sockers in 1984 and played seven seasons in the Major Indoor Soccer League with San Diego (1984-1988), Tacoma (1988-1990) and St. Louis (1990-1991). He was a member of San Diego’s MISL cham-pionship teams in 1985, 1986 and 1988. He returned to Seattle for the Sounders’ inaugural A-League season in 1994 before completing his playing career with the SeaDogs from 1995-1996.

In 1985, Schmetzer played on loan to FC Seattle, scoring twice in a 2-1 friendly win over Brazil’s Santos. While with Tacoma and FC Seattle, Schmetzer’s teammates included younger brothers Andy and Walter.

Schmetzer and his wife Kristine have six children between them.
