Squad

Stefan Frei decides it from twelve yards

2 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.

Match

Seattle Sounders through in the cup

A 1‑1 win over Real Salt Lake, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market

Nouhou asks to leave Seattle Sounders

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Paul Arriola

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Seattle Sounders

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Yeimar Gómez Andrade 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.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Yeimar Gómez Andrade

Defensive actions: 22. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Cristian Roldan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Jesus Ferreira misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jesus Ferreira

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Nouhou hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Seattle Sounders can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Seattle Sounders turn down Dynamo Kyiv for Jesus Ferreira

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Pedro de la Vega 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.

Squad

Pedro de la Vega stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pedro de la Vega and Seattle Sounders agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Seattle Sounders

Yeimar Gómez Andrade 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.

Match

Seattle Sounders come up short against Colorado Rapids

Colorado Rapids left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Charlotte Football Club join the queue for Andrew Thomas

Add another name to the list: Charlotte Football Club have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Andrew Thomas. The answer from Seattle Sounders has not changed — yet.

Squad

Danny Musovski knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Danny Musovski trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
