No team in Major League Soccer is more on form right now than the Seattle Sounders.
After a 3-0 win on Friday at CenturyLink Field over LAFC, the Rave Green jumped back into first place in the Western Conference. They’ve also scored the most goals in MLS (26) and have the best goal differential (+16). These numbers are due in large part to a ferocious awakening after the MLS is Back tournament, with Seattle going 4-1-1 in the six matches since returning from Orlando and outscoring opponents 19-6.
The Sounders’ dominance has come to a head in the last two matches especially, ones that saw Head Coach Brian Schmetzer start Joevin Jones, a nominal defender, on the right wing with Nouhou at left back.
