Sounders have finally made a splash with their brand new chunk of discretionary Targeted Allocation Money, bringing in versatile Norwegian midfielder Magnus Eikrom on a free transfer. The group pays due respect to the sweet gold accents on the new shirt, but most of the segment is devoted to analysis of the four new signings by the club in the span of only a few days. Matt Hoffman of Stumptown Footy reveals his favorite Timbers kit design as they released their new away strip for 2018 this week. Group analysis of Whitecaps boss Carl Robinson's ambitions for the season closes out the segment. We spotlight Vancouver's other new striker as well Venezuelan Anthony Blondell looks poised for a breakout season. Michael McColl of AFTN.ca calls in to give his take on the leadership situation in the Whitecaps' locker room, and the extent to which Kei Kamara can fill the void. Five new players have joined Cascadian rosters since the last release, and there's even a first preseason match to review! 140 of RC, host Jackson Felts of Seattle's Sports Radio 950 KJR is joined by Sounders 2 announcer Andrew Harvey, 's Ari Liljenwall and RC founder Steven Agen as they dissect the busiest week of 2018 so far. The latter two statistics above are active streaks, and clubs in Cascadia have just over a month of preseason left to prepare for their chance to continue these streaks on the stage of the 2018 MLS campaign. Additional honors in that time frame include two CONCACAF Champions League semifinal appearances, three consecutive MLS Cup berths, and six consecutive Western Conference Championship appearances. Since 2011 (the first year all three clubs had made the switch over to the top flight from the USL), Cascadian MLS sides have won a combined total of five major trophies.

More to come if/when the trade becomes official.Radio Cascadia is a weekly podcast covering soccer in the Pacific Northwest with a focus on MLS clubs Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps. Adjusted for time on the field – obviously we have sample-size issues here, so don’t over-interpret what I’m about to say – he’s got about double Morris’s G+ per 96 minutes played. Previously, he started Seattle’s final two games at the MLS is Back Tournament (including the knockout-stage loss to LAFC, which does not count in official stats).ĭespite his limited playing time, Bwana has been pretty effective when on the pitch: he’s second on the team to Morris in American Soccer Analysis‘s goals added metric over the course of the season. He started and played 56 games in the preceding game, a 2-2 draw against Real Salt Lake, with Schmetzer employing him as a left winger in a 3-4-3 formation. Bwana last got six minutes as an offensive replacement for centerback Shane O’Neill when the Sounders were chasing a goal late against Portland Timbers Sept. Miguel Ibarra has been the first choice to replace either of those two in a like-for-like fashion, and even he has under 300 minutes as Brian Schmetzer has largely chosen to adjust tactics rather than use a similar player when one of his top pairing is unavailable. Thanks to that age and his status as a Sounders Homegrown, he can fill the 30th slot on the roster – a spot that must go to a Homegrown age 24 or younger – joining Derrick Jones (Philadelphia Union Homegrown), who fills the 29th slot (Alex Muyl is also a Homegrown player – from the Red Bulls Academy – but no longer age-eligible for either of those slots).īwana has played only 205 minutes for the Sounders this year, with MVP candidate Jordan Morris and fellow USMNT vet Cristian Roldan locking down the wing positions. The 23-year old Bwana is on a reserve-minimum salary and age-eligible to remain that way through next season. #mls- Steven Goff October 18, 2020Īs I noted in my quote tweet, I have heard word about a specific player’s impending departure, so at this point I’m assuming Nashville sends a player and some cash in exchange for Bwana – unless NSC is sending more than one player, and the Allocation Money flows in the other direction. 3rd-year pro: 32 league matches, 14 starts, 4 goals, 3 assists. citizen since Aug, in mix for U23/Olympic squad.
