In a number of ways, this season’s been a historic one for the Seattle Sounders.
Never in MLS history has a team as low in the standings as the Sounders (ninth) as late in the season (August) risen into the playoffs. And not only did the Sounders accomplish the feat, but they finished fourth and earned home field in the Knockout Round. This wasn’t just an impressive feat worthy of remembrance. It was a turnaround no team in MLS history can claim.
Needless to say, the year pulled out a number of memorable moments from the team.
