Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Paul Arriola

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Seattle Sounders

A 2‑1 win over Chicago Fire, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Danny Musovski's — 8.59

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.59, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad24 Aug 2026

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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Seattle Sounders training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danny Musovski 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Seattle Sounders get the job done against San Jose Earthquakes

A 2‑1 win over San Jose Earthquakes, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Jesus Ferreira at his very best

Marked 8.33. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Seattle Sounders.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Luciano Lollo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luciano Lollo, and the manager let it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

When it matters, Danny Musovski plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief

  • The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Stefan Frei
  • The terraces The crowd stays with them
  • The terraces The press have found their man in Jesus Ferreira

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad17 Aug 2026

Stefan Frei is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Stefan Frei: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match12 Aug 2026

Seattle Sounders march on in the cup

San Jose Earthquakes are out and Seattle Sounders go through, 2‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Albert Rusnák runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Danny Musovski again

The phone has started ringing about Danny Musovski again, and this time the name on the line is Kasimpasa. Seattle Sounders are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match15 Aug 2026

4 matches without a win for Seattle Sounders

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Seattle Sounders are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Stuart Hawkins signs for San Jose Earthquakes while still at Seattle Sounders

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Stuart Hawkins has agreed terms with San Jose Earthquakes for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Seattle Sounders

Cristian Roldan 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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Osaze De Rosario has a hand in both — 7.99

One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.99, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Seattle Sounders agree a free transfer for Justen Glad

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Market3 Aug 2026

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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Stefan Frei has been here 12 seasons

457 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market3 Aug 2026

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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

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.

Pedro de la Vega runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match1 Aug 2026

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.

Match1 Aug 2026

No time for Colorado Rapids to settle

The goal that put Colorado Rapids ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Seattle Sounders equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

In brief
