On the field they are in the playoff hunt, rebuilt after trading away two of their top three attacking talents. Seattle Sounders FC are at the bottom of the table, injuries ripping through the squad. Off the pitch there was a roar as fans objected to President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey’s statements over the weekend. He walked those back.

Hilario Grejada is the center referee.
