So the Sounders just picked up $150k in GAM for international roster spot #5 and are getting Alex back as Guatemala's been bounced from the Gold Cup.

Thoughts on how to set up for the next few months? I think Cody Baker's been playing really well - first saw him at Starfire in the USOC game and he was an immediate standout, and he seems to have earned some playing time. Try Alex up a line in the midfield with Cristian still at the Gold Cup? He's played there for Guatemala in the past. Or move Baker to the bench and see if the free-roaming Nico "winger" experiment works better with Alex providing consistent width up the flank?

Sounders seem pretty tight against the salary cap, but would you try to unload anyone / make any acquisitions in the summer transfer window? Or try to stand pat until Jordan & Cristian come back?

Sounders have VAN (7/9), SJ (7/12), and DAL (7/15) left until Leagues' Cup. Somehow, we're #2 in the West (though LAFC and STL both have a game in hand). Thoughts on the approach to the League's cup? Should we be fielding as close to a first-choice lineup as possible, or should we be playing the kids?

Community Guidelines

These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!

Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders'. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)
