""Because when we came, we were a USL team and he had a vision to get the team into MLS, and we had big owners and an ownership group and things. But he's the one who does the things behind the scenes, and it's a credit to him.""
""The organisation from top to bottom, the coaches, everybody, they deserve this. The fans deserve this win. Because it's been 20-some odd years since I've been with the club, and then you sprinkle in a couple of years when I was 17, 19, 20 - so it might even be 25. I'll have to do the maths. But credit to everybody in the organisation.""
Seattle Sounders defeated Inter Miami 3-0 to win the Leagues Cup, highlighted by Alex Roldan's goal, two assists and an 84th-minute penalty. Roldan set up goals for Osaze De Rosario and Paul Rothrock. Lionel Messi had five shots and led attempted dribbles but failed to produce a decisive contribution. Luis Suarez created second-half chances but could not convert and faces scrutiny over an apparent spitting incident involving a Seattle staff member. The title is the Sounders' ninth since joining MLS and their first trophy in three years. Brian Schmetzer credited long-term leadership and organisational effort for the success.
