It's time for an edition of Under the Lights where we'll bring back special guest Sam Hale to preview the Seattle Sounders' upcoming MLS regular-season match vs. FC Dallas at Lumen Field on Saturday. Sam is a veteran of the FC Dallas beat, working as executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network and writing for Toros Talk. We'll get the latest on the status of Seattle's upcoming opposition, who are looking like a postseason contender in their second year under head coach Eric Quill, and also boast one of the best No. 9s in Major League Soccer in Croatian international Petar Musa.
Later on, we'll take a look at Ari's Sounder at Heart column this week, where he dove into which clubs he was most wrong about over the offseason compared to how they've started their respective 2026 seasons.
Join Ari Liljenwall and a rotating cast of guests from the MLS media landscape live on YouTube as they scout, react, and take questions about the Seattle Sounders and Major League Soccer.
