Delem will leave after the Colorado match and rejoin Martinique for the Gold Cup

Brian Schmetzer says Jordy Delem has been given permission to return from Martinique came and is eligible to play at Colorado on July 4th.

Sounders VP of Soccer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson praised the Eredivisie and how good the Netherlands is at producing players.

Leerdam also comes from Dutch Total Football upbringing and is incredibly pacey and technically sound. He's so dynamic.

For those wondering about Leerdamn, he is very much in the Joevin mold. He scored 8 goals from the fullback position in the 2013-14 season.

Sounders defenders Oniel Fisher (Jamaica) and Jordy Delem (Martinique) have been called in for international duty for the 2017 Gold Cup.

Through 18 games, the Sounders have either scored or conceded an equalizer in the 90th minute or later 4 times (2 for, 2 against). Drama.

Brad Evans: “[The Timbers] did not look like they wanted it tonight.”

Brad Evans on how the team bailed him out:

Dempsey: "It's motivating to try and silence the crowd, and I was able to do that." xitter.cf/SoundersBeat/status/87…

Dempsey on the chorus of boos he received at Providence Park when he checked in: "It's just whatever." 🔇

Clint Dempsey was asked if he likes scoring against Portland specifically. Dempsey, with a smirk: "I like scoring against everybody."
