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.

LA Galaxy vs. Sounders: Gamethread

The Seattle Sounders head back on the road to face the LA Galaxy, a team that is in a very similar place. The Sounders are still trying to snap their winless run, which has now reached 11 straight, but have picked up ties in each of their past three games. The Galaxy are one spot ahead of the Sounders in the standings, but have also played two more games. They’ve gone just 2–5–4 in their last 11 matches. The Galaxy could get a bit of a boost from the return of Joao Klaus, who is expected to at...

Everything you need to know ahead of Galaxy-Sounders

The Seattle Sounders have put together three straight performances in which they could have conceivably won. They have not actually won any of them and will head into tonight’s game against the LA Galaxy on a franchise-record 11-game winless run. If they are to maintain any realistic hopes of making the playoffs, they’ll almost certainly need three points against the Galaxy. Here’s what you need to know: Injury news Sounders OUT: Pedro de la Vega (quad); Jesús Ferreira (hamstring); Yeimar Góme...

Jordan Morris looking more like his old self

RENTON – The return of Cristian Roldan likely provides the Seattle Sounders with their biggest potential boost when it comes to making the playoffs. But simply making the playoffs has never been how the Sounders judge a successful season. Ever since the Sounders entered MLS in 2009, they’ve judged success by how well they compete for trophies. In that sense, Jordan Morris’ ability to return to the form that made him a Designated Player may be the most important variable. Morris has played just...
