The terraces11 Jun 2029

Anger at Seattle Sounders spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match6 Jun 2029

Seattle Sounders bow out of the cup

Colorado Rapids go through and Seattle Sounders go home, 1‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match11 Jun 2029

Seattle Sounders are top

28 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Andrew Thomas decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match9 Jun 2029

9 unbeaten for Seattle Sounders

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 9 matches without defeat is a foundation Seattle Sounders did not have in the autumn.

Up for the corner, and Aleksa Cvetković delivers — 7.37

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Aleksa Cvetković scored, was marked 7.37, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad11 Jun 2029

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.

Match9 Jun 2029

Jack McGlynn sends Seattle Sounders past Sporting Kansas City

It finished 3‑1, and it was Jack McGlynn’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Seattle Sounders.

Walker Brooks beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Seattle Sounders say no — this time

The offer from Grazer AK for Samuel Adeniran was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

A defender's goal wins it for Seattle Sounders — 7.73

1 for Cristian Roldan, marked 7.73, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market3 Jul 2028

Dejan Joveljić raises the bar for Seattle Sounders

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Seattle Sounders heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Words exchanged at Seattle Sounders

Jordan Morris and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Álex Roldán falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Jul 2028

A long bet from Seattle Sounders on Roko Pehar

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.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Seattle Sounders are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

7 new boys at the Seattle Sounders academy

Signed today, seen by nobody for years, and one of them may one day be the reason the club exists. That is the whole of the argument for an academy, and it is a good one.

A place in the month's best eleven for Walker Brooks

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Walker Brooks has come out of that comparison in the side, and Seattle Sounders have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
