Are the whitecaps missing any players to the Gold Cup like we are?
Seattle Sounders FC
A place for Sounders fans in the Fediverse. Discussion, analysis, match threads, and more.
Looking for mods, banner images, and new ideas!
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)

So close! Nice ball from Alex
And we're off!
So good from Leo Chu there to hold up, turn, and burn!
That pass to chu was on... Nouhou couldn't find the weight. Same thing there from Albert. Seems like everyone just needs to take a deep breath and settle in.
Or Chu has been doing so amazing that they keep forgetting that he doesn't actually have lightning speed.
Have we subbed anyone yet?
Nope
Man. Wonder what our set piece plus/minus is this year. Cleveland had no chance there.
Oh Rusnak. Oh no
I'm watching with sound off... Is the argument on that hand ball that it was deflected? Seemed like his arm was away from the body.
There were two separate hand balls back to back on the Whitecaps. The ref didn't call either one, when they were clearly handballs. He didn't even go to review them on the monitor.
We'll be hearing from PRO next week about how they should have been called, I'm sure.
Yikes on that corner too... Saved by the woodwork
Jingle bells!
I take back what I said about our corner's being Lame.
Hey, I think we should take full credit for the reverse jinx.
Really good passing for a few minutes there. Nice drive by Rusnak but surely he can find Ruidiaz somehow there?
Yeah - that was a missed opportunity but it's been a while since I've seen them take a patient, probing, approach to the buildup. More of that.
Fuuuuuuuck
I watched the replay twice. I can't even spot where he made contact for that YC.
Same... phantom foul
A little worried by no subs here... Seems like a tired legs incident leading to a goal waiting to happen. But I also can't think who I'd rather being on at the moment.
YEIMAR!!!!
That seemed like a fair yellow to me.
Damn Rusnak. Hell of a kick. He took out Yemar.
If my foot is coming down, and you put yourself between my foot and the ground. It's my fault?
I think refs are trained to call that reckless for the sake of player safety, even if it’s purely accidental. I get it.
Other than instances like this, how does Cleveland get play time experience if Frei is always playing keeper?
I think ostensibly though other competitions like USOC or maybe Leagues Cup depending on how we approach it. But if we keep getting bounced from USOC in the first or second round, not a lot of chances.
Easily offside
Thankfully... But another warning shot fired
Oh my goodness! Put it in the net!
That's too bad.
I missed the foul that led to that. Was that foul even warranted?
Missed it too
That was a beautiful run, beautiful cross, and beautiful shot. Just a shame it didn't hit the goal.
