Through the ups and downs, the fits and starts, the joy and the madness, the 2020 regular season has been one quite like no other. In the end, though, it seems fair to say that the Seattle Sounders performed about as well as you could hope.
Despite playing eight fewer games than in any previous campaign, the Sounders still managed to post their best-ever goal differential (+21). Their 2.0 goals per game represents an all-time high-water mark, their 1.045 goals against average is better than any season since 2009, and their 1.77 points per game is better than any season since their Supporters’ Shield campaign of 2014.
