Will Bruin Reveals What MLS Doesn't Want You to Know

We're joined by former Seattle Sounders forward Will Bruin, who gives us the lowdown on what he's been up to in retirement and a behind-the-scenes look at the career of an MLS lifer. We discuss some of our favorite memories from his playing career, including the origin of his famous Dancing Bear goal celebration, and his conflict with Sounders legend Ozzie Alonso before they joined forces in Seattle.  Bruin played for Seattle from 2017-2022, following a standout run with Houston Dynamo FC. He contributed 32g/14a n 154 all-competition appearances for the Sounders and finished his career with 81 MLS goals.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah RiffeSPONSORSHaxan Ferments - Specializing in unique, small-batch fermented hot sauces and vinegars, Haxan Ferments is handcrafted in Georgetown and made with the best local ingredients from across the Pacific Northwest.
