TUKWILA, Wash. The Seattle Sounders completed a spirited training session Friday at Starfire, before they head to Colorado on Saturday to take on the Rapids. While that may seem rather mundane, it did represent a rather significant change: the first live training session where local media was able to observe, report and ask questions in person, no less.
For the last year, since the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world in the spring of 2020, the Sounders have been training behind closed doors in the interest of safety. So this represented the first time media were able to see the Sounders warm-up, run drills and scrimmage up close. Well, relatively close, there are still some protocols in place designed to minimize contact between the players and public.
Seattle Sounders vs. Vancouver Whitecaps: Player ratings

Seattle came into the weekend match looking to earn their second nine-point week of the season, which is more points than four teams’ season totals, including their opponent, the Vancouver Whitecaps. It wasn’t to be, as a combination of injuries and rotation forced Seattle to field a good, not great, lineup that played down to the level of their competition. Some mixed play led to a mixed result, with both teams scoring twice. Seattle left Lumen Field with a 2-2 draw that they will be disappointed with, but it was an okay result at the end of a long, hot, congested week.
