PrintNot going to do pure play-by-play here but just give my thoughts as things develop. The Vancouver Whitecpas are repected around North American soccer for their ability to develop talent. The Sounders have started much more recently, but brought in some of the best that Seattle has to offer.
Sean Okoli, Cox, Peterson, Herman all on the pitch for Seattle.
For the most die-hard of fans here at Starfire today they will get an opportunity to see the eventual futures of their clubs.

Both sides pushing the action in the first 6 minutes
Seattle already off the crossbar once.
Each keeper with ability to punt the long ball.
Yedlin entering the attack as expected.

13 minutes in
Okoli and Cox working well to pressure in the box
Yedlin still impressing as a right wingback.
Brockway ans his CB partern fighting well to win the ball.
Both the Southsiders and Emerald City Supporters have about two dozen singing already

6 was actually Michael Gallagher from the 16s. He and Yedlin both wear it for their respective teams.

Thanks
Found out much later that 16s were mixed in with the 18s

No worries
We sat next to Gallagher’s mom so it made it a bit easier to figure it out. Jacob Beck started the game at left back, and Michael Steele and Jesse Klug (i think that his name) came on as subs later in the game.
go sounders!
wish i could be there for this game but im stuck at my brothers soccer tryouts.
will be there by 3 though!
Thanks Dave
for doing this. I couldn’t make it down today, but am anxious to hear how it goes.
the #6 for Vancouver can feed the long diaganol quite well
His passes and vision are solid. Plays the CDM and one of the more filled out bodies on the pitch.
Dismuke joins the Sounders threatening in the box.

Off topic.
Do you know if extra tickets for the game at 3 will be sold at the gate at Starfire.
I'll see what I can find out at half

Any luck?
Think i’d we wasting my time going to Starfire and hoping to get in?
Couldn't find out either way
I’d chance it. Today didn’t presell as heavy

tactically the Whitecaps are 4-1-3-2
with nearly flat four on defense.
Seattle more a traditional 4-4-2
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
Although Cox can fold into the center when Yedlin comes up the outside
shifting things to a 3-1-4-2

Both sides have posted
Seattle shifts to a 4-3-1-2
Cox at the 1

As the Senior side mainly attacks up the left
the Academy 18s attack mainly up the right.
Vancouver more adept at using all channels

Scoreboards, not billboards.
Regular season, not pre-season.
Confused
There is still a senior team game vs. Vancouver at 3, right? Or is this it and I was only thinking it was supposed to be senior team?

That was pretty
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."

what
happened i didn’t have the stream to where i saw the goal.
Just good execution
I couldn’t see who it was but we ran down the near sideline and passed through a crap ton of Caps players to the lone Sounder who nailed it
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."

Hella good defensive timing on that
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."

LAME
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Academy team looking a lot like the senior team right now
Dominating possession, threatening to score on multiple occasions, only to get nailed by a couple of dumb errors on a counter in just about the only possession the opponents have.
Very sloppy play in back
That’s not the first time I’ve seen miscommunication when paying the back pass to the keeper. Good effort by Vancouver’s 9 and a tricky angle on the shot.

After a defensive breakdown outside of the box
Great work inside

Vancouver probably scores
If they’d one timed that shot instead of trapped it. Nice block for Sounders.
You know what I LOVE about Academy games?
Fans of both teams applaud when players are subbed off

GOAL
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Aw shit
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Wow
defensive mistake after defensive mistake. Not pretty.
Well
this has turned negative quickly
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
I kind of think the defenders still had that last goal in their heads and
didn’t have their heads in the game enough.
They are young
and take it as a learning experience.
TIED
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Looked like a nice goal.
Too bad the camera didn’t follow it.
Yeah
And the scoreboard hasn’t reflected it yet
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Yeah
I was just wondering if there was an offsides I didn’t see or something, but all the players were acting like it was a goal.
Scoreboard
still does reflect the goal – should be 4-3 now.
Just changed
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
From here that was brilliant
one time volley

That kick to beat the wall was well done too
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder

Yeah
Goals flying in all over the place!

Maybe the senior team *should* sign some of these guys
4 goals. Just sayin’. ;)
Vancouver fans are starting to bug the shit out of me
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Really?
They are the nicest fans in the world

I'm sure their mothers love them
but dear Lord they can get annoying
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."

Next stream starts at a quarter to 3, right?
"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand."
Cool
