Sounders Scuttlebutt

Cameron, Aaron and Nicholaus (attempt) to record while watching the Sounders match live at Aaron's request... However, Aaron was late to start, stuck in San Diego traffic and the first 20 minutes of Nick's audio vanished.

Aaron, Cameron and Nicholaus recap the last week of Sounders Soccer where they've bagged two 1-0 wins against FC Dallas and San Diego FC. Under the shiny surface of six points out of six is the two total goals scored. Props to almost every CB on the roster.

Three matches later; Aaron, Cameron and Nicholaus catch up on the current pace and performance of our Sounders. The Road has been rocky this season but we still find ourselves in a positive position on the table with both Jackson and Jordan close to returning.

The tres amigos return to the mics on Cinco de Mayo! The Sounders provided plenty of reason for an exciting show but the addition of our Ultras segments makes this one a particularly special episode. Click play for the scuttlebutt on...

On this mini-episode, we introduce the Scuttlebutt Ultras. While generally a segment of the show, we decided to do this episode as a standalone episode as we get introduced to our new contributors, hear them talk about their love of the Sounders, and listen to them break down the play on the field.

Aaron, Cameron and Nicholaus talk the Sounders' return to form with the second victory in a row, moving them into the playoff picture.

Aaron, Cameron and Nicholaus get to talk about some positivity! Sounders come away with 3 points on 1 Musovski tap in. Not the multi-goal performance we've been waiting to see but there were still some positives to take back to Seattle.

The Sounders only needed two out of three matches against Houston to advance which means they've been sitting idle for over a week. However, both ECS Pub League and MLS provided entertaining matches this weekend...

Well that was one of the more frustrating matches of the season and it wasn't (technically) a loss. The Seattle Sounders showed their usual prowess in possession vs Portland but they continue to have difficulty with the final blow. 16 shots, 6 on target and yet our single goal came from a set piece that found Yeimar's head (his first!). Rusnák provided the assist (not his first) while Jordan continues to struggle at being a #9.The playoff landscapeWhat can MLS do to improve officiating?Free rides!

The Seattle Sounders have been one of the hottest teams in MLS for weeks and that trend continued when they dominated the Vancouver Whitecaps thanks to a 3 goals to 1 exchange rate. Sounders then stay on the road and produced another clean sheet against the Colorado Rapids scoring 1 goal USD at altitude.

June has been a month of dramatic results testing our cardiovascular resolve... The Sounders end the month 3-1-1 with another come-from-behind performance against the Chicago Fire on Saturday, June 29th. They went down 1-0 in the first half (a half that possibly could have been our most lack luster of the season). However, they came out in the 2nd a totally different team and win 2-1 at home.No All Star selections for the SoundersUSA out of CopaTimbers/Thorns Charity Match...

Sounders advance to the round of 16 of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in dramatic fashion! And that was probably the most dramatic match of 2024.

Raul was the star and Obed get's his first official goal... but should he have been even on the field?
