He’s the best Max TAM player in the league and I’ve always said that.

Very good half for the boys. Albert, Jordan, Cristian playing like leaders. Lots of dimension from Clark. Been impressed by Stu Hawkins too. Tidy passing, a couple timely interventions.

000

He seems a little more willing to drift into the middle of the field horizontally, which gives us lots more looks when Albert moves into the channels to compensate.

As long as we’re sharing Lumen with an NFL franchise, we will be pretending a giant Seahawks-themed Airbnb is our home when it’s demonstrably not.

Literally the first shot of the TV broadcast tonight: Jordan Morris, the all-time leading scorer of our club, walking down a hallway at Lumen with exclusively Seahawks regalia on the walls.

This is an interesting thought. I wonder what the economics of the Sounders being the primary tenant on the lease would look like without the Seahawks, if it’s even possible. The overhead of running the place without First & Goal would undoubtedly look very different.

Is the right move to renew lease and continue to fight a long, losing battle for things we’ve been asking for since 2009? Where else can or should we go to get treatment befitting the most successful sports club in the city?

Loads of what fans and players hate about the matchday experience, from concessions and ticket prices, to even the playing surface being dog shit most of the time, all stem from the fact that the Sounders have little to no pull in their home stadium. Hanauer is right that it’s untenable.

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Love or hate Hanauer, love or hate the Renton Stadium idea, we are absolutely second-class citizens at Lumen in every imaginable way. Is that fair for arguably the most successful men’s sports team in Seattle history?

The only thing Nouhou can score is an extra helping of Teriyaki. Let’s be real.

We did it, y’all. 2 goals. Clean sheet. Unbeaten in 6 now. 🙌🏻

Albert goes direct. Albert scores. Shocking.

Thomas saved the game right there. What a swing in a few seconds.

Way, way too cute in the attacking third.

Generally, the Seattle Times panders to the worst people in this region: NIMBYs, neoliberal centrists, corporate bootlickers, etc. Even if they had the best soccer coverage in the nation, they can’t sports-wash their reputation.

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

While I agree that traditional media ceasing coverage on the sport is bad, and I liked Jayda, there’s very little that the Seattle Times does overall that would be value enough to warrant the toll of their paywall.

This is the problem with a society that glorifies individualism at any and all costs: Every issue - good, bad, or indifferent - is completely abstract until it affects you directly. When nothing is an issue until it arrives in your backyard, it’s way too late to do anything about it.

We haven’t won in 13 games. Craig Waibel is a moron.

Two very good goals from our Summer signings to claw back a point. Craig Waibel is a genius.

We haven't won a match since mid-May.

Gutsy result. But if you score 3 on the road, you should win.

Captain’s goal from Cristian. We needed that.

That the Sounders agreed to release him for all 3 games says we’re throwing in the towel on the season.

Joveljic missing 3 Sounders home games to play for Serbia when a World Cup cycle just ended seems like a cruel joke.

The strings when they go from “Jacksonville” right into “A Short Reprise for Mary Todd…” is full-body chills every time. (16’55” to about 17’57”) The crowd cheering the end of the song and then just stunned into silence.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of former ECS co-president Tom Biro.

I honestly don’t give a shit about the referee. We only created 1 big chance all night. Not good enough with who we had available, especially in that first half.

000

Draw that feels like a Win. Only because we don’t know what winning feels like anymore.

These Sunderland kits go hard, TBH. Their warm-up gear where you can’t distinguish the crest at all are trash, but the kits themselves are rad.
