With their 2-0 loss to the Whitecaps, the Sounders are officially off to their worst-ever start. Theyve never before failed to win at least two of their first eight games and their six points are now two fewer than the eight they had at this point in 2018. Their latest loss is probably their worst of the season. Not only was it their first multi-goal loss, but it also showcased some shocking mistakes and even more surprising loss of composure. On top of all that, felt an awful like a must-win ga...

Apr 04, 2024•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast Whats left to say about the Sounders start? After falling 1-0 to the LA Galaxy, they are now 0-3-2 and sitting in last place in the Western Conference and just one point ahead of the New England Revolution in the Wooden Spoon race. Theyve now tied their franchise record for worst-ever start. I think they looked better on Saturday than they in possibly any other game, but thats as much of an indictment of how bad theyve been this year than a genuinely positive statement about their play. Im not g...
Apr 03, 2024•36 min•Transcript available on Metacast The last time the Sounders visited the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park -- almost exactly one year ago -- there was a fullblown fan protest over the team's refusal to fire president Chris Klein. The stands weren't quite empty, but they were eerily quiet. The scene the Sounders should expect on Saturday should be entirely different. Ryan Rosenblatt -- our resident Galaxy expert -- says that since Klein's firing that fans feel like they can enjoy themselves again. It probably helps that the...

A season that had once been virtually left for dead had come roaring back to life over the last couple months and I had sorta talked myself into the belief that this season was destined to end at MLS Cup. Maybe not actually lifting, but at least making a valiant charge, maybe even with Nicolas Lodeiro and Ral Ruidiaz putting in a couple notable performances along the way. Nothing I saw against LAFC totally dissuaded me from believing t...

Nov 17, 2023•38 min•Ep 447•Transcript available on Metacast Much to our chagrin, the Seattle Sounders will be playing a Game 3 of their best-of-3 series after falling to FC Dallas 3-1 on Saturday. The match started off pretty much disastrously, with Dallas getting two goals inside 20 minutes. To their credit the Sounders played much better over the next 70ish minutes until a Jackson Ragen giveaway allowed Dallas to score an ultimately meaningless insurance goal. During those 70 minutes, though, Jordan Morris looked about as good as hes ever looked, scori...
