Seattle Sounders

Apr. 26—RENTON — The Sounders rolled out their championship lineup last Saturday with two changes. Only center back Xavier Arreaga and midfielder Nico Lodeiro were missing from the starting XI that won the CONCACAF Champions League trophy in 2022. A roster that looked fierce two years ago couldn't defeat a Cascadia rival that Seattle hadn't lost to at Lumen Field since 2016. But most who've ...

There wasn’t an encore.

Sloshing around on a waterlogged field seemed like a good time cut short in Philadelphia earlier this month. MLS delayed the Sounders’ match with the Union due to conditions.

SEATTLE – Andrew Thomas had answered the call. At every opportunity, the Russian goalkeeper stepped up and delivered.

Seattle Sounders midfielder Pedro de la Vega will be out 6-8 weeks due to a right hamstring injury, coach Brian Schmetzer said Tuesday.

Excuses were baked into Saturday’s match.

RENTON, Wash. – Instead of getting a season preview, the Sounders technical staff were left with more questions Saturday.

TUKWILA, Wash. – The Sounders admittedly struggled pocketing goals the past two seasons, so naturally the club’s biggest offseason acquisitions are … defenders.

RENTON, Wash. – Pedro de la Vega is one of three “really impactful players” the Sounders could sign within the month, said Craig Waibel, the club’s general manager and chief soccer officer.

Sounders keeper Stefan Frei signed a two-year contract through the 2025 season, the club announced Tuesday.

SEATTLE – Between the expected departure of captain Nico Lodeiro and celebrations for the club’s 50th anniversary, the Seattle Sounders are transitioning to a new era. It’s perfect timing for a restructuring of the roster.

SEATTLE – Whether the Sounders were going to lose Sunday evening was a 50-50 proposition. They had a nearly identical record to that of Los Angeles FC and held their own with the club in their two meetings this year.

SEATTLE – A chorus of boos swirled around Lumen Field. Los Angeles FC took their time leaving their locker room during halftime. A delay the visitors could take since they led the Sounders by a goal in the Western Conference semifinal match Sunday.

Stefan Frei will be in goal for the Sounders for at least two more years, according to a report Wednesday by Sounder At Heart. The club declined to comment.

With just one goal, the Sounders FC kept their season alive.
