Seattle Sounders FC

It's all fun and games until someone messes with Cristian Roldan's pizza

Cristian Roldan vs ATL 170331

Two things we know about Seattle Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan:


1. He plays with fiery emotion.
2. The dude loves pizza.

On Thursday evening, we saw both of these qualities come to life.

After the 5-0 aggregate win over the Houston Dynamo to secure a berth in MLS Cup, there was plenty of celebration in the locker room...Champagne was flowing, music was blasting, and Román Torres, Nouhou and Oniel Fisher spearheaded spontaneous dancing outbursts. Like usual, there was post-match pizza to be enjoyed, too. In a playful interaction, defender Joevin Jones tried to snag a bite of pizza from Roldan.


The third-year midfielder was not amused.


In the end, though, Roldan got the last laugh.

Here's to hoping there is a bountiful amount of pizza and celebration after Saturday's title match. The Sounders visit Toronto FC's BMO Field at 1 p.m. PT (ESPN, UniMás, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360 AM) in a rematch of last year's final.
