No other team in MLS history has shown the level of consistency of the Seattle Sounders, who are now 13-for-13 in qualifying for the MLS playoffs in their history. Even more remarkable, they’ve never finished lower than fourth in the West nor seventh in the Supporters’ Shield race. That’s undeniably remarkable.
But for all that success, they’ve never really put together an amazing season from start to finish. They won the Supporters’ Shield in 2014, but that’s the only year they finished the regular season atop the Western Conference and they’ve finished second for five years’ straight.
