Match

No end in sight to Seattle Sounders's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Seattle Sounders has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout

Nathan Ordaz keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Seattle Sounders may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Jordan Morris stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jordan Morris and Seattle Sounders agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Seattle Sounders

Jordan Morris was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

David Martínez wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Seattle Sounders

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Words at Seattle Sounders training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gianluca Busio is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

A long bet from Seattle Sounders on Christopher Cupps

He is 19, and nobody at Seattle Sounders signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Transfer targets

Seattle Sounders rebuffed over JT Marcinkowski

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Vancouver Whitecaps have kept their man, and Seattle Sounders go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief
