Who are the Sounders

Seattle's MLS team, born in 1974 and in MLS since 2009
Winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, 2016 and 2019 MLS Cups, 2014 MLS Supporters Shield, and 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014 US Open Cups

Community Guidelines

These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!

Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders'. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)

The game yesterday seemed to find a whole new way to be frustrating. Unlike Wednesday, there was much more incisive attacking. The stats bear this out - see some of the FotMob stats below. We had big chances that went begging, hit the post, etc.

The team did tire down the stretch - as excellent as CR7 was, there were times where he looked a little ragged, as did a few others. We reverted to the horseshoe for stretches of a few minutes while ignoring runs in behind.

I am a huge fan of Vargas, who I think is a major talent. Yesterday, though, he seemed to have a rough match. Bodied off the ball several times, skipped in possession. He had one great line-skipping pass in the first half, but almost always the ball was going backwards to Nouhou. As we made only two subs and he's been asked to play a ton of minutes, I can't understand why Atencio didn't get 30-45 minutes here.
