Underrated Sounders: The brilliance of Andreas Ivanschitz

During this sad and sudden MLS break, we’ve decided to start a rainy day mini-series highlighting some of our favorite unsung Sounders heroes. Our hope is to fill the rave green void in our hearts with enough fond memories to get ourselves, and hopefully some of you, to the other side.

The criteria is simple and also completely subjective: any player we feel is either underappreciated or overlooked in Sounders lore. Next up: Andreas Ivanschitz.

Andreas Ivanschitz came to the Sounders with an impressive pedigree. At one point, he was considered Austria’s top offensive talent and had spent most of his career as a solid contributor in leagues like the Bundesliga and Spain’s La Liga.
