Awesome performance. This club never ceases to amaze me. Good luck in the Champions League quarterfinals and the 2012 Champions League. Congrats from Dallas.
Not a bad time to come into your best form of the year, they've proved themselves in the open cup, and are the only team still alive in the Supporters Shield race. They have 2 big tests left with MLS Cup and CCL, can't wait to watch :)
@CashSmeller it's the American version of the FA Cup, it includes all divisions of American pro and semi- soccer. It's a knockout single elimination tournament. The MLS teams get the advantage of higher seeds and first round byes. Also It's the oldest soccer tournament in North America.
Best franchise in MLS right now by far. This is what futbol is about. The average attendance at Seattle is more than the galaxy and chivas usa's combined home attendance, how sick is that!! I love how all of fans seem like one giant supporters group as opposed to the crap they have here in LA.
@CashSmeller Its a Cup tournament like other soccer leagues in the world have that give all teams in the country a chance to win silverware. That way, even if you aren't the best team in the league, as long as you put together a string of good games you can still Win something, get prize money, and qualify for the CCL.
@ioryy666 Hell yeah they outdraw the galaxy and chivas USA combined. The franchise also tries to make it one big supporters group atmosphere. The Sounders are the MODEL of what an MLS franchise should be like. I love it when DREW said the only expansion team in the league is the LA GALAXY, couldn't be truer.
was it seattle that got steamrolled by manchester united 7-0? On this performance it seems like that was a freakish one off result...magnificent play and what amazing composure for second goal...
@MrGinbot you gotta remember with that MU scoreline, though, it was only 1-0 with all the starters. the 6 goals came in the 2nd half when all but maybe 2 or 3 of the 11 on the field were 2nd stringers. still agree, not world class yet, but we're on the right track! as for Fucito, i dont know if i'd call him a greedy player. he had lots of chances this game that he couldnt pass up a shot (though there were some he shoulda passed middle). i'd say he's looking for goals to prove himself to Zigi.
@milloselmejor haha maybe. I didn't really mean it as a serious comparison. I just meant that Morgan compared to women is much better than Carrasco compared to men. The problem is in sports like soccer it's difficult for women to compete on any level with men.
@MrGinbot Remember that Man U also beat Arsenal 8-2 in a match that actually counted so losing to them 7-0 doesn't say much bad about Seattle. It also kinda legitimizes the Cosmos and MLS Alstar's failures against them. Man U's not just doing that against American sides, they're doing that to everyone. Losing the Champions League title in their own backyard left a sour taste in their mouths.
@rockslideproductions I disagree with your assessment of Morgan's ability. I'm not sure who is faster between Carrasco and Morgan, but skill accuracy wise, Morgan is superior than Carrasco. Carrasco might be stronger and bigger than her, but he plays defensive midfield, so I would expect him to have those qualities.
@rockslideproductions Perhaps, though I think that Morgan can take on a quite a number of male defenders. Hell, she can take on Carrasco one-on-one and beat him almost every time.

I was there last night and the scene inside the stadium was electric. That was the best soccer game I have ever seen live in person.

what atmosphere, the fans deserve that win
i Was at the game last night in the front row of the ECS section! SOUNDERS TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
The most INTENSE game yet ;)
SOUNDERS FOREVER!
I can happily say I was at this match. What a game! Go Sounders FC!
Such a good game! Chicago did good.. got to admit I was a little nervous at first. But awesome goal by Alonso! He's a world class player.
Seattle has best fans in MLS, I wish we could get a crowd like that for my FC Dallas, much props
"It's Dallas till i die"!!!!!!
Wow, I'm really impressed by Osvaldo's goal, look at his composure and his skill, wow, props.
Very nice game i m proud of seattle sounders go sounders

YEAH. Go Seattle.
Sad to see Chicago lose but it was a great game and Seattle played great. Very deserving of the threepeat! Mike Fucito had a great game!
I watched the game, then watched this replay, and realized that Jeff Parke did awesome this game.
Congratz on the big win, you guys really deserve it. From an Skc fan.
CONGRATS ON THE US IRRELEVANT OPEN CUP!!! Sweet jerseys, but they showed their TRUE colors against RSL in the playoffs
Always sad to see Fucito play such a good game and not score. Such a hard worker with lots of talent.
Its Funny how Many Home Games Seattle has played in the Last 3 US Open Cup !!!
Well done to Seattle, from a Glasgow celtic fan.
You guys are doing the MLS justice
ps is Montero for sale?

obviously its not as good or exciting and the FA cup, but soccer in america is improving and so is the MLS
@darthtrabia Yes she is. So is Hope Solo.
@luisdeGuatemala yes 2012-2013 season, but this year champion league isnt over yet.
@MrJDinero oh but thank you sir

@milloselmejor Maybe comparatively, but Servando would just have the plain strength, size, and speed advantage.
Alonso's goal was straight filth. so sick. More MLS teams need fanbase's like Seatlle's

look at #6 face ahh im so happy for him
@rockslideproductions i thought he started in every game and that he was an awesome player. haha yea i know alex is freaking beast
im a la galaxy fan and i knew chicago fire was going to lose so good job sounders i hate fire
dang..Chicago had no chance! Seattle had more possession and created more opportunities .
@thompsonalex i was there too. it was something i've never seen before!!!
chicago fire played crazy defense
@rockslideproductions

Nice Job, sounders, try going for a 4th time in a row!
3 people watching this vid were Fire fans
@rockslideproductions oh ok...i thought he was injured or something.
@Xcsoccermiler88 the galaxy played their top XI against the sounders in the open cup. then they lost.
Honey Badger takes what he wants
@milloselmejor ALEX MORGAN is a GODDESS!
@TheWadee24 he really only plays as a sub or starting in unimportant games. His girlfriend might actually be better than he is.
Wait the US Open Cup is Not even important...Congradulate Seattle when they Actually win a MLS Cup or Supprters SHield !!!
@ioryy666 You must be a Lakers, Cowboys, and Yankees fan as well.
Seriously, what is that song that plays at the end?!
how come servando carrasco didnt play?!!
what is the song that starts playin at 5:22?
@rockslideproductions Alex Morgan is amazing, far better than Carrasco... just sayin'
@TheWadee24 I mean, he's not great. He's average at best.
and?
can't finish.
