Seattle Sounders vs. Chicago Fire: Community player ratings form

By now we know the big storyline: The Sounders are in a playoff position for the first time in 2016, and it’s thanks to Andreas Ivanschitz “cultured left foot” and Chad Marshall’s forehead.

Other than that moment, the Chicago Fire did a good job frustrating Seattle. The Sounders had willing energy (despite being a repeat lineup on short rest), but at times the end product wasn’t quite right.

So, time to rate the individual players in this one. Who showed they were up for a second match in a few days, and who didn’t? How do you rate Nicolas Lodeiro, who was incredibly active as always but failed to record a goal or an assist (unusual for him).

Just a few more to go, folks.

Here's the scale:

(Substitutes can be left blank if the player did not play enough to judge)

1 - not a pro (USL/NASL/MLS) quality performance

4 - average USL starter

6 - average MLS starter

9 - MLS All Star

10 - MLS MVP-quality performance
