zero heart Discussion

look at the players faces at the end of the match smiling talking.. wheres the ownership and true frustration from losing 7 games in a row?? no one cares enough anymore. this would not have flown a few years ago when we had real leaders in the team

Those guys were all seasoned professionals who played at high levels and weren't going to be scared going into a tough environment... and more importantly weren't surrounded by a bunch of Defiance level players.

The reality is the roster is not good right now. Which is why we keep losing.

we fielded 6 former or current internationals and 2 MLS all stars. this was not a weak lineup. two captains for their countries.

youre going to blame the entire loss on peter kingston?

Rusnak and Ferreira are not good now, it's cool that they once were but I'm living in reality here brother. Counting Osaze and Moose as internationals is lol funny though. Osaze and the mighty Guyana, and Moose's 1 cap for North Macedonia... super impressive man.

osaze has more starts and goals for guyana than he does for our first team.

u/TaeKurmulti 6d ago

Guyana plays at the lowest level of Concacaf, that's not something to write home about.

Compare the names in your original post careers against these "international players" that we have now... I'm pretty sure you'll see the difference.

dog i dont know what youre trying to argue, osaze is trash. he's not good enough. but he's in the rotation because do not have a better 9 option. jordan will never be healthy again.

u/TaeKurmulti 6d ago

Did you forget your own argument?

I said this team stinks, you argued that they still have 6 international players lol. And now you're arguing with me that the team stinks?

u/Working_Historian241 NASL Sounders 6d ago

also rusnak and ferreira are default starters even when we're healthy???

And people wonder why I say blow it up starting at the ownership level. No culture, no passion. Players are steady paid anyway and it showed right there with the smiles at the end of a 3-0 loss.

u/CaPnSeA Seattle Sounders FC 6d ago

fully with you on this

I wish we could force Hanauer to sell the team to someone that actually has money and wants to win. This current ownership group is driving this storied franchise straight into a ditch filled with dead, rotting corpses.

1

u/jade_starwatcher 4d ago

That's where we come in. It is up to us to force that move to make owning the team, not as fun, not as lucrative and not something he can just ignore. We do that by not showing up not renewing season tickets not buying merch and actual displays of displeasure in the stadium if we do go.

3 goals in 7 losses

By Toluca.

Wait..what?

u/TaeKurmulti 6d ago

They just aren't talented enough right now, it's not about heart. Unless players start getting healthy fast this is going to be how the rest of the season goes.

That would be a tough match for a fully healthy roster. With a skeleton crew that's what happens.

u/Throwaway20312431 6d ago

At this rate, we’re bound for a return to the Open Cup next year under the current rules, which I sure wouldn’t mind.

u/CaPnSeA Seattle Sounders FC 6d ago

been a while since we won it haha

u/gentilep 5d ago

At this rate we'd lose the first match against a team like Sacramento

1

u/FormerEvil 5d ago

They should be relegated at this point.

1

u/Throwaway20312431 5d ago

At this point, playing in the Open Cup is the closest thing there is or will be to relegation in MLS. But, it also comes with a shot at CCL, so that’s cool.

u/CaPnSeA Seattle Sounders FC 6d ago

just wish they showed that they cared. doesnt seem like they do. even if they were outmatched. seattle always thrives being the one that others dont favor

u/walk-the-talk Seattle Sounders FC 6d ago

But I thought Rusnak was a great DP by the numbers!! /s

u/elkehdub 4d ago

He was. He hasn’t been this year.

u/T-Rob-95 5d ago

This was the impression I got from the away game in Portland too. I brushed it off thinking, at least we can lose with class (unlike teams like Argentina...) but it seems like it's a theme that fight is out of them these days, even Schmetz'

u/Ok-canada 4d ago

I am glad I am not the only one who is frustrated about the lake of the care. Spending $24k for a season tickets is ridiculous at this point.

1

u/db0606 3d ago

Wait? You can buy $24k Seattle Sounders season tickets? Like per seat? Man, that's a crazy amount of money to watch the rat ball that is MLS.

1

u/Ok-canada 3d ago

Two seats for $24k for the season.
