The Seattle Sounders hosted Louisville City FC in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 on Wednesday night. It took all of regulation and extra time, as well as eight rounds of penalties, but Seattle ultimately came out on top of the 2-2 draw by winning the shootout 5-4 with goalkeeper Andrew Thomas making three saves and converting the winning kick. It was their first shootout win since the 2016 MLS Cup, ending a four-game shootout losing streak. It started not looking like they would need penalty, running out to a 2-0 lead thanks to a first half goal from Paul Rothrock in the 41st minute and a 63rd ..read more

Already missing Nathan and fresh off trading away Xavier Arreaga, the Seattle Sounders will be without another centerback for at least the next couple of weeks. Yeimar came out of Sunday's game in the 85th minute after seemingly signaling an injury to his right quadricep ..read more

Sunday was yet another disappointing home match for the Seattle Sounders, as they drew 0-0 with a depleted LA Galaxy side that seemed perfectly happy to split the points. The Galaxy sit third in the Western Conference and have built up a healthy points total and can afford to play for a draw on theorad. The Sounders, on the other hand, have dug a hole so deep for themselves that there's desperation setting in before the spring flowers even bloom. It's the same boring and lackluster performance we've come accustom to this season ..read more

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Two Columbus Crew games have been pushed back as the team makes more room to prepare for the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. The club announced that two MLS regular season games, originally scheduled to be played in the spring, have been pushed back to the fall. The Crew’s May 29 game ..read more

It looks like the Seattle Sounders have settled on Andrew Thomas to be Stefan Frei's long-term successor. Thomas, 25, signed an extension on Monday that gives him a guaranteed contract through 2027 with club options in 2028 and 2029. “Andrew has developed and continues to improve and learn every day in training,” Sounders Director of Goalkeeping Tom Dutra said in a team release. “I feel very lucky to be able to work with three very good goalkeepers and I'm happy we will have Andrew for the future ..read more

The Seattle Sounders' road match against the Columbus Crew that was originally scheduled for June 1 has been moved to Sept. 7, a Saturday that comes during a FIFA international window. The Crew will be playing Pachuca in the Concacaf Champions Cup final on June 1. Although playing through an international window is hardly ideal, this does allow both teams some breathing room during what is already a very busy part of the schedule. If the game had been played as scheduled, the Sounders would have potentially been playing their 11th game in a 36-day span ..read more

Coming off a strong finish in 2023, Reed Baker-Whiting was expected to challenge for a starting spot this season. After getting through a full week of training, Baker-Whiting will at least be available off the bench, Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer confirmed following Saturday's session. “That's a good thing,” Schmetzer said. Since becoming one of the youngest-ever players to make his MLS debut in 2021, Baker-Whiting's professional career has been a somewhat slow burn ..read more

Seattle (2-5-3) won for the first time since a 5-0 victory over CF Montreal on April 6. Philadelphia (3-2-4) has lost back-to-back games at home for the first time since April 2021 ..read more

“The season hasn't started well, but that's a proud group,” Schmetzer told reporters. The Sounders certainly showed some of that in their win over the Philadelphia Union, just their second of the season and first on the road. After jumping out to a 3-0 lead and playing just about perfectly in the first half, the Sounders had a couple of decent chances to add a fourth goal only to come up a bit short. Buoyed by three halftime changes, the Union came storming back shortly after the Sounders failed to put the game away ..read more
