Seattle’s 2021 makes them a 2022 Concacaf Champions League contender

By Jason Davis – WASHINGTON, DC (Feb 16, 2022) US Soccer Players - Until a Major League Soccer team wins the modern version of the Concacaf Champions League, the safe assumption is that it's a goal for the league. The continent's top honor is important, with the safe assumption that every participant would like to win. Actually doing that is the difference for MLS clubs. It's what produces the . . .

When home field isn’t an advantage in the MLS playoffs

By Jason Davis – WASHINGTON, DC (Nov 26, 2021) US Soccer Players - Playing at home means something in Major League Soccer. Whether it's the partisan crowd filling the stands, the comfortable environment for the home team or the unfamiliar one for the visitors, or things unique to the field or the weather, playing in your building always counts. The travel deserves a mention as well. When the . . .

Seattle’s situation

Seattle’s situation

Tuesday's soccer news starts with the Seattle Sounders back in action later tonight at LAFC (10:30pm ET - ESPN). Considering how dominant Seattle was over the opening months of the season, it's tempting to call their current situation a dip in form. Except we're talking about the team in 1st-place in the Western Conference. The Sounders are on a three-game winless streak, most recently losing at . . .

As MLS heads into week 28, what do we really know about the Western Conference?

By J Hutcherson (Sep 28, 2021) US Soccer Players - Week 28 is another midweek wonder from Major League Soccer as MLS gets the games in over a compacted season. There are either eight or nine games left for those in the playoff positions in the Western Conference. While the East is getting the attention for how close the playoff positions are, it's also a tight table at the top in the West. Three . . .
