Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro had a prescient message for rookie forward Jordan Morris prior to last Saturday’s 1-0 home win over the Whitecaps.
“I told him that he was going to score a goal,” Lodeiro said through a translator afterward, and it was indeed Morris’ 81st-minute header that held up as the game-winner.
Teammate Cristian Roldan experienced a similar phenomenon earlier last weekend: With his parents in town visiting from Southern California, he told his younger brother Alex that he was going to net the winning goal for Seattle University on Friday night against the College of Charleston.
