Postgame Pontification: Getting closer

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new ways to talk about the Seattle Sounders’ four-month winless run. There have been times when they’ve been outright awful, others when they were a bit unlucky and plenty of examples of them simply not being good enough. Against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, though, they at least gave us something a little different. Playing at altitude against a team that had not conceded a goal at home in six straight league games, the Sounders were always go...

Seattle Sounders at Colorado Rapids: Community player ratings form

Your Seattle Sounders traveled to Commerce City, Colo. to face the Rapids. I’m at a bit of a family reunion and neglected to watch the match, but one of my uncles watched the highlights and said Seattle looked decent! They scored three goals, two of which came in the final 10-ish minutes, already down 3–1, so that’s good! What’s not so good is that they still only managed a draw, when they really need to be finding wins. Rate your Sounders on their fifth draw in a row. Here is a direct link to...

Dejan Joveljić to Miss 3 Matches for Sounders Due to Serbia Call-Up

Dejan Joveljić has been called into the Serbia national team as they prepare to play four games in UEFA Nations League during the upcoming international break. As a result, he’ll miss all three of the Seattle Sounders’ upcoming home games. Those three matches will be pivotal to the Sounders’ chances of making the postseason. The Sounders are currently three points behind the Portland Timbers — who occupy the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference — but have played at least two fewer games than e...

Player Ratings: Rapids Play to Exciting 3-3 Draw Against Seattle

Commerce City, Colo.- The Rapids had one of their most impressive offensive performances on Saturday against Seattle, but were unable to pick up all three points, letting the Sounders back into the match late on. Morgan Whittaker scored a brace and Donavan Phillip opened his MLS account. It was 3-1 late on before Seattle responded with two goals. It was a disappointing draw on a positive offensive night for Colorado. Attention now turns to an away trip to the LA Galaxy on Sep. 26th. Nico Hanse...

Sounders Annual Business Meeting scheduled for Sept. 26

As promised in Adrian Hanauer’s open letter to the club’s community, the Seattle Sounders will hold their Annual Business Meeting on Sept. 26, a few hours before the Minnesota United match. The meeting is scheduled to run from 2–4 PM and requires fans to have a match ticket, be an Alliance Member and to RSVP (invites have been sent to Alliance Members’ emails). In addition to the normal presentations from various part of the Sounders organization from business metrics to insight into the sport...

We created a new statistic to illustrate Sounders’ injury crisis

It’s difficult to describe the scale of the Seattle Sounders’ current injury crisis. With Paul Rothrock’s most recent injury – estimated to keep him out 8–10 weeks — the Sounders will see the vast majority of their regular outfield starters miss extended minutes in 2026. The only real exceptions to the rule at the moment are Nouhou, Albert Rusnak, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi and Snyder Brunnell. A team that hasn’t been allowed any level of consistency, and is yet to see all three of its DPs share the ...

Realio’s Ratings: Dancing on quicksand

There was a time in Seattle Sounders history when facing the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park, absorbing punches from an aging collection of soccer royalty, and grinding out a 1-1 draw, would be greeted with a satisfied nod. You bank the Western Conference away point, applaud the defensive resilience, and head home feeling okay. That satisfaction, however, doesn’t work when your team rolls into mid-September dragging the rotting corpse of an eleven-match winless streak and is buried in ...

Another week, another result that has us in purgatory

Aaron joins Jeremiah to recap the Galaxy match while also trying to figure out what is going on with all of these injuries as the Sounders announced that Paul Rothrock will be out due to hamstring injury for 8–10 weeks. In the second segment to balance out last week’s downer episode, the guys outline some copeium showing how Seattle can not only make the playoffs but end the season on a genuinely positive note.

Paul Rothrock likely out 8–10 weeks

RENTON — Just as it seemed the Seattle Sounders were inching toward something like full health, news of yet another injury has hit. The latest player to succumb is Paul Rothrock, who came out of Saturday’s game at halftime with what has now been revealed to be a reasonably serious hamstring injury that will likely keep him out 8–10 weeks. That timeline means Rothrock would potentially be available if the Sounders qualified for the playoffs, but not long before. It has gotten to the point that ...

Monday Sound Check: The debut episode!

Niko Moreno and Adam Race discuss the Galaxy game and how some of the decision-making problems that have been on display reared their ugly head again. They were still encouraged by the performance and results around the league have conspired to keep the Sounders very much in the playoff chase. They close out with some discussion of Jeremiah’s article about some front office dysfunction and highlight a few of the games around the league.
