The Seattle Sounders picked up another point with a 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy, simultaneously extending their unbeaten run and their winless run. We'll revisit Jackson’s optimistic take from last week, then tackle the topic once again of whether the Sounders are actually showing signs of meaningful improvement, or simply looking better after hitting rock bottom.
We’ll also break down the performances of Jordan M...

The Seattle Sounders' winless run continued in Matchday 23 with a 2-2 draw vs. Chicago Fire FC at Lumen Field, but the Rave Green did get a memorable club debut from new No. 9 Dejan Jovelic. Does the super Serbian raise Seattle's ceiling in the race for trophies in 2026, or will it take more for the squad to emerge from its summer doldrums? That's one of the topics we'll discuss, along with the continued emergence of Sebastian Gome...

With the Seattle Sounders finally reportedly pursuing a No. 9, we're breaking down the big news and what it could mean for a Sounders team that just broke the longest losing streak in club history. Is Dejan Joveljić the striker who can save Seattle's season? And how does he stack up against some of the other No. 9s from across MLS?

The Seattle Sounders' seven-match losing streak is mercifully over after their 3-0 win over Querétaro, so it’s time for another round of Cope or Hope where we'll assess what this result means for Seattle’s 2026 chances. We unpack whether Alex Roldán can be a true double-pivot solution, whether Albert Rusnák’s goal signals a return to form, and if Danny Musovski’s breakthrough proves he can rediscover last se...

Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe try to make sense of a Seattle Sounders team riding a seven game losing streak and looking overmatched in almost every phase. The rumors of signing a young striker have Ari and Noah asking the question: does any of it actually matter until the No. 6 situation is fixed?
The crew round out the show by assessing if the Seattle Sounders have enough urgency when it comes to making roster f...
Six straight losses have forced us to reevaluate a lot of our preseason and early-season takes. It’s only fair to look back and ask where our assumptions missed the mark. This isn't about apologizing for old takes, it’s about learning what this stretch has taught us about the roster and what we might’ve missed.
