The Sounders hung tough for most of the afternoon on Monday, but their efforts once again weren’t enough as they fell to a superior PSG squad to be eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup.

With 2023 serving as an exception due to the player being well below 100 percent, the Seahawks have been a dramatically different team with Abraham Lucas on the field over the past three years. In fact, no player may be more critical to their NFC West odds in 2025.

A goal by Cristian Roldan brought the Sounders within striking distance down the stretch, but they couldn’t capitalize on several chances to find the back of the net late, dropping a one-point contest to Botafogo to begin FIFA Club World Cup play.

Cooper Kupp may be adapting to a new team for the first time in his career, but the process has been eased with the Seahawks due to an offense that offers plenty of familiarity compared to the one he played in under Sean McVay.

Unable to find the back of the net and outpaced all evening long, the Sounders endured an ugly drubbing at the hands of the Whitecaps in Vancouver.

From a trio of new quarterbacks getting their first extended look running Klint Kubiak’s offense to free agent additions in the secondary impressing, plenty of action unfolded during the Seahawks three open OTA practices at the VMAC.

Rebounding from a rough first half, the Seawolves have climbed out of the Western Conference cellar with a chance to make the playoffs. What must happen to clinch a spot in the season finale?
