It’s another season of high expectations. Whether looking at last season’s record-setting second half, or the last year, or the last season and half, the Seattle Sounders have been successful. Having Raul Ruidiaz for a full season and Jordan Morris back from injury are the indicators that the offense will be better than it’s been in years. The defense has depth, and with Cristian Roldan slipping back into a more defensive role he should cover the ground that Osvaldo Alonso tried to last year.
The expectations are truly great — 56% of staff expect the Seattle Sounders to be the best team in the West.
