MLS GAME INFORMATION

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.

The long-time rivals met in a pulsating Western Conference Semifinal Series a year ago, the Timbers winning 5-3 on aggregate, including a 3-2 second-leg win in Portland.

Portland’s first-leg win in the MLS Cup Playoffs was the club’s first ever in all competitions in Seattle since coming to MLS. 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.


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.”

0-2-2 (2pts)

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-year-old downtown venue’s capacity from 18,627 to 20,647 in 2013. Last year, the club earned an 11-1-5 overall regular-season 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.

53

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.

CONSECUTIVE REGULAR-SEASON HOME SELLOUTS:

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CALEB PORTERHead coach Caleb Porter guided the Portland Timbers on a record-setting, turna-round 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, plus-21 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 Tim-bers 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 semi-finals 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 tourna-ment 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.

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 profes-sional 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 Tim-bers 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 Sound-ers 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.

SCOUTING SOUNDERS FC

ON THE NATIONAL STAGE

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.

UPCOMING MILESTONESDefender 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.

Defender Michael Harrington is 107 minutes shy of reaching the 15,000 minutes played milestone for his MLS career. Harrington has appeared in 37 matches for the Timbers since joining the team before the start of the 2013 season. 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 lead-ers Erick Torres (Chivas USA) and Vicente Sanchez (Colorado). As a team, the Timbers rank first in the league in blocked shots with 19.

CREATING CHANCESThrough four games, the Timbers rank among league leaders in several offen-sive 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.

THE IRONMANTimbers 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).

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 mid-fielder 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.

KEEPING THE BALLThrough 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 fifth-highest possession average in the league.

NEARING THE CENTURY MARKTimbers 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.

SOLID DEFENDINGAccording 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.

SCORING FIRSTIn all competitions, including the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Timbers are 4-1-1 over-all 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).

TIMBERS ON LOANTimbers 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.

Seattle SounderS FC GaMe noteS

The 2014 Cascadia Cup begins on Saturday as Seattle

Sounders FC visits the rival Portland Timbers for a nationally tel-

evised 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. For-

ward 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 three-

straight 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 Im-

pact, 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.

about Portland

The Timbers are off to their slowest start in MLS history, se-

curing 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 (includ-

ing one own goal received) this season with no assists and have

allowed six goals, including three following penalty attempts.

tiMberS notableS

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.

FaMil iar FaCe in 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 al-

lowed 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.


aPril anSwerS

Sounders FC will play three of four April matches on the road,

and will face four opponents from the West. The month begins at

Portland on Saturday, marking Seattle’s first Cascadia Cup match

and Western Conference game of the season. The schedule con-

tinues with trips to FC Dallas (April 12) and Chivas USA (April 19),

and concludes with the lone home match against Colorado on April

26.

Sounders FC is unbeaten (6-0-4) in April over the past three

seasons and has posted an all-time April record of 9-4-6. The last

April loss was April 25, 2010, at Toronto FC. Kenny Cooper is sec-

ond amongst active players with 17 career goals in April, trailing

Landon Donovan by four tallies. Seattle’s Chad Barrett (T-11th with

8 goals), Marco Pappa (T-13th with 7 goals) and Clint Dempsey

(T-19th with 6 goals) all rank in the top 20 for active goal scoring

leaders in the month of April.

Start to SeaSon SiX

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.

Sounders FC is in a rhythm of playing games every Saturday.

Nine of the team’s opening 10 games of the season are scheduled

on Saturdays, with the lone non-Saturday game falling on Sunday

after the match at Montreal was postponed. The next non-Saturday

game is scheduled for Sunday, May 11, at New England. Overall,

23 of the team’s 34 regular-season games in 2014 will be played

on Saturday.

SounderS Join 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. Mex-

ico scored twice in the second half to level the match at 2-2.

Dempsey and Yedlin will re-join Sounders FC ahead of Satur-

day’s match against the Portland Timbers.

ForwardS Continue to Contribute

When Kenny Cooper scored his first goal for Sounders FC last

Saturday against the Columbus Crew, it marked the fourth goal of

the season by a Seattle forward. The forward group has also con-

tributed four assists, totaling 12 of the team’s 16 points. Forward

Obafemi Martins leads the team with two assists and has recorded

a goal or assist in three-straight games, tied for the second-longest

streak in MLS. Clint Dempsey has recorded a goal and assist from

a withdrawn forward position and Gonzalo Pineda has served one

assist from a midfield role. Cooper and Dempsey have each

recorded a point in their past two starts.

Over Seattle's six seasons in MLS, just over 53-percent of the

team's 222 all-time goals have been scored by forwards, with the

highest output in 2012 when the forwards scored 33 of the 48

goals.

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 percent-

age on the road, and his 71 road wins are the most in league his-

tory.


KiCKoFF to CaSCadia CuP

Saturday’s match at Portland will kick off the 2014 Cascadia Cup – a regional competition that was founded in 2004 by the largest

supporters groups of the three Pacific Northwest clubs: the Emerald City Supporters, Timbers Army and Vancouver Southsiders. Seattle

will play four of its six Cascadia Cup matches on the road, including the first three contests. The first rivalry match at home is set for July

13 against the Portland Timbers, and the competition will conclude on October 10 when Sounders FC hosts the Vancouver Whitecaps

FC.

The Whitecaps FC currently hold the Cascadia Cup after winning it for the first time in the MLS era last season. Sounders FC won

the Cup in its first year in MLS (2011), and the Timbers won the 2012 edition. All three teams will look to become the first repeat winners

of the MLS era this season. Overall. Seattle has won the Cascadia Cup three times, including the USL era (2006, 2007 and 2011).

SounderS Celebrate 40

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 year-

long 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 com-

peted 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 cham-

pions 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.

head CoaCh SiGi SChMid

Named the first Head Coach of Seattle

Sounders FC on December 16, 2008, Sigi Schmid

is the winningest coach in MLS history. Since 1999,

Schmid’s teams have won nine major titles, includ-

ing two MLS Cups.

A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Schmid has led

Sounders FC to five-consecutive appearances in the MLS Cup

Playoffs, marking the second-longest active streak while nearing

the record for most consecutive postseason appearances by an

expansion team.

Schmid also guided Sounders FC to a record three-straight

Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles, becoming the first team in 42

years to win back-to-back championships.

Schmid joined Sounders FC in its inaugural campaign after

leading the Columbus Crew to its first MLS Cup and Supporters’

Shield, earning MLS Coach of the Year honors in 2008. From 1999

through 2004, Schmid’s L.A. Galaxy teams won four major com-

petitions: the 2002 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, the 2001 U.S.

Open Cup and the 2001 CONCACAF Champions Cup. He was

voted the MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, 1999. Alto-

gether, his Galaxy teams were 79-53-32 and reached the MLS Cup

final four times, winning three division crowns.

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.

Schmid ranks No. 1 in MLS career victories (189) and games

coached (422). Overall, Schmid’s record in MLS is 189-132-101.

His combined postseason win total (23) is the second-highest in

MLS history.
