The Sounders advance to the Western Conference Semifinals after securing their 12th straight penalty kick. Cristian Roldan directly contributed to both goals in match two vs Houston; he scored and then nearly immediately assisted Owen Gol.

Trick or treat? This match felt like both. The Sounders convert 5 straight penalties to get the 0-0 "win" in match 1 against Houston Dynamo but were unable to take advantage of being up a man after the Carrasquilla touched Rusnák's face. Next is away at Houston but will Jordan even be available?

Well that was one of the more frustrating matches of the season and it wasn't (technically) a loss. The Seattle Sounders showed their usual prowess in possession vs Portland but they continue to have difficulty with the final blow. 16 shots, 6 on target and yet our single goal came from a set piece that found Yeimar's head (his first!). Rusnák provided the assist (not his first) while Jordan continues to struggle at being a #9.

The Seattle Sounders have been one of the hottest teams in MLS for weeks and that trend continued when they dominated the Vancouver Whitecaps thanks to a 3 goals to 1 exchange rate. Sounders then stay on the road and produced another clean sheet against the Colorado Rapids scoring 1 goal USD at altitude. Now, they aim to keep their momentum as they face the Portland Timbers in the final regular season match of 2025.

Sounders win 1-0 over visiting Houston in a key match as the Sounders target at least the 3rd seed in the West. With these 3 points they leap frog over Houston to the 5th seed while also getting some distance from Vancouver in who drew PDX 1-1 and now sit in 7th & 9th respectively.

Aaron is on assignment but don't worry he still edited the show. Nicholaus Biela joins Cameron for this one which means more there is more than enough of quality Sounders content packed in. Aaron cut out as many pop culture references as he could and yet that still left this at 2 hours.

We're off to a good start! Sounders score two and give away nothing to the Loons in the first of two group stage matches in this year's Leagues Cup. Rothrock sparks production in a very similar fashion with the help of Jordan Morris (see June 15) . Andrew Thomas also put on a very solid performance in goal. Aaron and Cameron cover

The Seattle Sounders 8 match win streak gets pooped on just before the break by an LAFC 3-0 loss. It's hard to characterize who or what this team is at the moment. The path that this season is taking has been an unexpected and unrecognizable one.

It's July, and as we all know, it is time to let the good times roll. Sounders have taken 13 points out of a possible 15 in MLS play and have advanced to the US Open Cup Semifinals for the first time in a decade. Can this run of form continue?

June has been a month of dramatic results testing our cardiovascular resolve... The Sounders end the month 3-1-1 with another come-from-behind performance against the Chicago Fire on Saturday, June 29th. They went down 1-0 in the first half (a half that possibly could have been our most lack luster of the season). However, they came out in the 2nd a totally different team and win 2-1 at home.

It's been 3 matches since our last show and since then the Sounders seem to be finding themselves. With multiple goals in each match and two comeback performances (both from down 2-0) the anger and/or apathy that this season has been causing is starting to dissipate.

The ponderous season continues. The Sounders lose to the a team who WERE at the bottom of the Western Conference table. Next up are the Loons who currently are and consistently have been in the top 3 of the Western Conference.

The Seattle Sounders have started to produce some points of late and yet there's still this feeling of malaise. Sitting at 10th in the West, just outside 'the line', the Sounders head to bottom of the West K.C. and we SHOULD come back with 3 more points, right?

Amidst the congested MLS and Open Cup special the Seattle Flippin Sounders defeated Phoenix Rising at Starfire on May 22nd to advance to the quarterfinals for the 7th time in the MLS era. They're up against the same club, Sacramento Republic, who knocked them out of the tournament in 2018.

The Sounders draw to Vancouver at Lumen Field 1-1. That's it. Nothing to really talk about.
EXCEPT Pro Referees and how VAR is implemented is at an infuriating level of incompetency. Then again... so are the Sounders right now.

Sounders advance to the round of 16 of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in dramatic fashion! And that was probably the most dramatic match of 2024. We spent an hour fending off a Louisville City SC club that was swinging wildly and were up 2-0 at 63' thanks to goals by Rothrock (Georgi) and Musovksi (Leyva)... then it got nervy.
Louisville clawed back and tied it by the 89th leading to extra time and then our savior, our buff blonde, our stache betwixt the sticks... carried us to victory in penalties.
Now we invite Phoenix Rising to Starfire on May 22nd. Will Andy need to deliver us from near defeat again?

The Seattle Sounders get a win in a game that started in the past. A first half 3-0 lead shrunk to a 3-2 final against Philadelphia Union. Raul was the star and Obed get's his first official goal... but should he have been even on the field? This follows a loss against DC United that at first felt like a resurgent Sounders squad after a woeful start to 2024 then a Frei red card changed the game... but apparently that wasn't a red card. It's been a helluva week folks.
