Liquefaction zone: Sounders fall to Earthquakes
Kayla Mehring The Sounders dropped a disappointing 1-0 result at home to the Earthquakes. SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders dropped another result at home, this time losing 1-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes. Some sloppy play and a complete lapse of awareness early in the second half left the Sounders trailing and the team couldn’t capitalize on the genuinely good chances they created to claw their way back. The Sounders had the best chances of the first half, but ultimately neither goalkeeper was forced to make many especially difficult saves. Seattle kept the bulk of...

OL Reign keep the wins coming with a 3-0 victory against San Diego Wave FC

Realio’s Ratings: Seattle stronger throughout 1-0 win
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Frei comes up big to keep NYRB at arm’s length. Seattle returned home with a bounce-back performance against New York Red Bulls last weekend. It was a dominating performance where the Sounders were the better team in most facets of the match. The final score was a close 1-0 due to Seattle’s lack of finishing on quality chances. The game wasn’t without drama, though, as after scoring early, Seattle had a key injury and a late red card that kept New York in the match. Seattle ended the match with mostly defenders on the field, and this...

Notes from the North End: Let’s talk about Kelyn Rowe and social media etiquette
Max Aquino / Sounder at Heart The hometown boy has become a bit of a lightning rod. After a very long hiatus, Notes from the North End is back. In the coming months, I will look at a wide variety of topics related to the Sounders from my perch on the North End, including this piece about social media and sports. Every iteration of the modern Seattle Sounders has had a player who, for reasons that remain a mystery, becomes the target of social media attacks from self-professed fans of the team. It was once Brad Evans, believe it or not, and since he joined the team in...

Sounder Strategy: Earthquake Preparedness
Stephen Brashear-USA TODAY Sports Seattle must utilize the full depth of their roster against a solid San Jose side. After a strong start, San Jose is in a bit of a slump. The Earthquakes have one win and three losses in their last six matches, and have developed a bad habit of dropping points late. The Quakes keep the ball deep in their half, but more dangerous possession has been hard to come by. Meanwhile in Seattle, the Sounders found their fight once again. Fatigue and injury threaten to derail that progress, but Seattle’s young talent may step up to save the...

Sounders revolving injury door keeps spinning
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Kelyn Rowe and Raúl Ruidíaz will be available, but Cody Baker and Jordan Morris won’t. SEATTLE — Heading into the meat of their three-game week, the Seattle Sounders’ injury situation is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, Jordan Morris and Cody Baker have been added to the list of unavailable players, and Albert Rusnák also missed Tuesday’s training session with a bit of food poisoning. Rusnák is at least expected to be available for Wednesday’s game against the San Jose Earthquakes, though. More positively, Raúl Ruidíaz...

Player usage consistency matters
Photo by Marcio Machado/Eurasia Sport Images/ While the correlation between the lack of injuries and earning points is mild, it exists. If it feels like you are learning about more players from the Seattle Sounders depth chart every week that’s because you are. So far this season the club has had two short-term call-ups feature in MLS matches, with Cody Baker already flipping that into a full contract and Paul Rothrock perhaps on the verge of one. That could come as early as Wednesday, when there will be a distinct lack of attacking health. Jeremiah projected there...
