Who are the Sounders

Seattle's MLS team, born in 1974 and in MLS since 2009
Winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, 2016 and 2019 MLS Cups, 2014 MLS Supporters Shield, and 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014 US Open Cups

Community Guidelines

These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!

Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders'. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)

Well thought through but depressing... I think the "more than sum of the parts" piece is really what's missing. We had a little taste of it with the comeback win against the Whitecaps. But I miss the days when, if we went down early, you felt like the team was going to scrap and adapt and push for a goal. Now, my expectation is that we'll control possession, squander a handful of chances, and give up a second goal after a defensive lapse. I don't know what's changed, but it's not great.

Also, continually having our asses handed to us by the Timbers has not helped my enthusiasm for the big moments and rivalry matches...
