Seattle Sounders vs. Philadelphia Union: community player ratings form
The Sounders’ win streak has come to an end in a less than glorious manner. Time to rate about it. Every streak has to come to an end (I guess?

Under the dark of night the Seattle Sounders look to continue their record-setting win streak and match the franchise-best unbeaten run. Half a year and practically a lifetime ago, when there was a chance that Seattle made a CONCACAF Champions League run, this match was supposed to be on a weekend day. It is now a late-season weeknight contest between two sides with playoff aspirations.
