There are few teams has storied and stable as the Seattle Sounders. Even this past season, when tragedy and calamity seemed to bestow the northwest, there was always calm and composure at CenturyLink.

This is a franchise that knows itself, understands what it has to do, and has full and unwavering belief in its process.

Even after yet another slow start, this time winning just three of their first 14 MLS matches, they still rallied to make the playoffs and end the season as one of the favourites for MLS Cup. The only reason they didn’t go further in the playoffs is penalties, a well-known lottery.
