Seattle Sounders identity fuels Leagues Cup title: “It was beautiful”

As a player and coach, Brian Schmetzer has won over a dozen trophies with Seattle Sounders FC. But with Seattle’s 3-0 takedown of Inter Miami CF in Sunday’s Leagues Cup 2025 final at Lumen Field, the longtime manager might have led the Sounders to their most impressive feat yet. Taking on a Herons’ side rife with superstar talent, led by arguably the sport’s best-ever player in Lionel Messi, Seattle lifted their first-ever Leagues Cup title with a commanding performance. “The success that [majority owner Adrian Hanauer] and I have built should not be discounted,” an emotional Schmetzer said at his postgame press conference. “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 organization from top to bottom, the coaches, everybody, they deserve this,” Schmetzer added. “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 years when I was 17, 19, 20 – so it might even be 25. I’ll have to do the math. But credit to everybody in the organization.”

Sebastian Giovinco Gives Back to His Adopted City

When Toronto FC  joined MLS in 2007, success was hard to come by. The club failed to make the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in each of its first eight seasons. That all changed in 2015, when Sebastian Giovinco arrived from Juventus and transformed both the team and the city’s relationship with soccer. The “Atomic Ant” shocked many by joining TFC not in the summer, as initially expected, but in time for the start of the 2015 campaign. He wanted to dive in right away, and his work ethic matched his intent. Teammates immediately noticed how much each loss affected him. It took a few weeks for his brilliance to shine through. Giovinco didn’t score until his fourth match, and Toronto managed just three points from their opening five games. But then came a breakout performance against FC Dallas, and the floodgates opened.
