First, the important thing: The Sounders’ third “pitch black” kit, which they wore in their 2-0 victory against the Montreal Impact, looked, well, maybe Herculez Gomez said it best:

Through two games, the Sounders have suffered 50 fouls, a full 13 more than the next most hacked team, Portland. That’s enough to anger a player. A player like Clint Dempsey, for example.

If nothing else, the matchup between the Seattle Sounders and TFC gave us all a good idea who very well might win the Golden Boot this season: Jermain Defoe. Behind his brace, TFC withstood an excellent second-half recovery by the Sounders to secure a 2-1 victory at Century Link Field. For Sounders […]

Here’s an anecdote about Eddie Johnson … I went to Seattle’s Cinerama theater to see the premiere of the Sounders documentary “American Football” on Oct. 23 of last season. (Note: Great flick that every Sounders fan who enjoys weeping at the departure of Fredy Montero and Michael Gspurning should watch). There’s a short […]

In their opening game of the 2014 Carolina Challenge Cup, the Sounders faced the hometown Charleston Battery in a match that can only be described as … blurry. Not exactly an HD live stream on preseason MLS matches. Oh, and then the stream went out entirely with 15 minutes to go. Still the Sounders […]

So, #DrogbaWatch is a thing now. Let me explain how it became a thing, and what it might mean for the Seattle Sounders. This morning, I was heading into an all-day work session at my non-sports-related job. I get a DM from a friend of mine in Turkey, whom I won’t name quite yet. This […]

Days before the first preseason friendly in Tucson, the Sounders appear to have filled the last remaining hole in their roster, claiming former Chicago Fire midfielder Marco Pappa with their top allocation spot. With the offseason departures of Mauro Rosales, Marc Burch and Steve Zakuani, the left side of the midfield was looking […]

It should be noted, the season doesn’t start today. Or tomorrow. But the first preseason friendly is coming right up – February 5, against the San Jose Earthquakes in Tucson. Given that, and the fact that training camp started this past Saturday, let’s check in to see how things are shaping up, who’s […]

Seattle and Chicago look to be in talks to make a two-for-one swap. Sources report that the Sounders will be sending center backs Jhon-Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni to the Fire, in exchange for right back Jalil Anibaba. The rumored deal would clear cap space for the Sounders, which would come in handy […]

DeAndre Yedlin was the first Sounders homegrown player signing. Now it looks like there may be a second on the way. This time it could be an attacking player, Wake Forest forward Sean Okoli, fresh off a junior season in which he scored 5 goals in 13 matches and earned First Team All-South Region honors. […]

It’s easy to look back now and speculate that Eddie Johnson’s tenure with the Sounders really ended the moment he waved off teammate Mauro Rosales after heading home the winning goal against the Columbus Crew. The infamous “Pay Me” celebration foreshadowed a looming issue that Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer would eventually address with a […]

On the heels of the United States' successes in World Cup Qualifying, the Sounders are on the road this week, playing at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. This will be the second time these teams have met this season. Luis Gil and Robbie Findley paved the way to victory for Real Salt Lake with […]

Sounders FC are coming off a road win at Chivas USA 2-0, re-firing a depleted Seattle team after their heavy defeat to Los Angeles the week before. […]

Seattle has had the hardest run of form of all teams in the MLS this season. Still without a win, the Sounders will be looking to capitalize on a beleaguered Rapids side that has still been able to put it together this season. Historically, Seattle has been the better side, winning seven, drawing one, and […]
