Player ratings

Derensili Sanches Fernandes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 45. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Seattle Sounders

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Saviour Godwin, 33, rolls back the years — 8.04

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.04 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Saviour Godwin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Seattle Sounders this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Max Anchor attracts admirers

The name of Max Anchor has come up in conversations Seattle Sounders were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match

Osaze De Rosario the difference as Seattle Sounders beat Minnesota United FC

Squad

Seattle Sounders count the cost of losing John Wright

28 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Home is on Martin Linnes's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Seattle Sounders are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

In brief
