Sounders Scuttlebutt

The Seattle Sounders get a win in a game that started in the past. A first half 3-0 lead shrunk to a 3-2 final against Philadelphia Union. Raul was the star and Obed get's his first official goal... but should he have been even on the field? This follows a loss against DC United that at first felt like a resurgent Sounders squad after a woeful start to 2024 then a Frei red card changed the game... but apparently that wasn't a red card. It's been a helluva week folks. Join our Scuttlebutt Discord server for fan batter with us and other Sounder fans! We'll ask YOU to fill our Scuttlebutt Bag.

We are back after skipping the Dallas double goose egg week and we initially thought this would be a fantastic match to review; a Cascadia rival, at home with a relatively ideal 11… nope. We saw red.

FIVE GOALS. The Sounders scored FIVE goals and gave up ZERO against CF Montreal. We needed a performance like that. We knew the results were not indicative of the club as a whole thus far but anything but a dominating victory would have further clouded our expectations for this season.

Sounders lose. They're bottom of the Western Conference and solutions to this, the worst start in Sounders MLS history, don't seem very apparent. So what do we all need right now?

That was a gut punch. Kinda fun match though! Sounders lose 3-2 vs San Jose in San Jose. In what was both an exciting and excruciating match Seattle came back from a depressing 2-nil deficit via another Panenka PK from Ruidiaz and, as you expect, a great goal from Musovski fed by Cody "Bread Breaker" Baker.

The second home match for the Sounders but only the 2nd point earned on the season... Sounders draw 1-1 against Colorado Rapids. Raul scores with an panenka penalty, Leyva earns a red card and we still have yet to score a goal during the run of play in 2024.

What was set up to be a magical night for the home opener ended up being a rather dull outcome. The Sounders dominated just about all statistical categories except the most important one; goals. They draw 0-0 versus Austin and the inability to unlock the offense continues. Aaron & Cameron discuss: Join our Scuttlebutt Discord server for fan batter with us and other Sounder fans!

The Seattle Sounders limp into their first match of the 2024 season against LAFC. Numerous lineup scratches, including an ankle injury to Rusnak the practice before the match, meant the Rave Green were going to have to punch above their weight for a positive result in LA.

That's all folks. The Seattle Sounders 2023 MLS season came to an end in the Western Conference Semifinal against LAFC. Despite a dominant overall performance the boys in Rave Green continued to show they struggle at buckling the net.

Match 1 of Round 1 is complete and the Sounders win at home 2-0 against FC Dallas. The first round was certainly entertaining if not surprising with SKC walloping the number #1 seed St. Louis CITY and LAFC putting VAN to bed after an exciting first half.

With a strong draw against Nashville and then a diligent and euphoric victory over the Galaxy it certainly seems that we've found our happy thought and are about to take off. Will Miami make it?
