    Seattle Sounders FC sit 13th in MLS with a 7-4-9 record, but their 2-0 win over Colorado Rapids on February 23, 2026, shows they're trending up. Albert Rusnák led the attack with four shots, Jackson Ragen anchored the defense with 44 accurate passes, and Andy Thomas made three saves for the clean sheet. Could this be the start of a playoff push?

    In this power rankings episode, we break down where the Sounders stand in the Western Conference, analyze their strengths like defensive solidity and their question marks like midfield inconsistency. We discuss the performances of Albert Rusnák, Jackson Ragen, Andy Thomas, and the ongoing goalkeeper competition with Stefan Frei. We also explore how the club-record losing streak ended with a draw in Cincinnati and what that means for momentum.

    Looking ahead, we project a realistic win total for the rest of the season, emphasizing the need for consistency in the middle of the park. With the World Cup break on the horizon, the Sounders have a chance to reset and make a serious push. Listen to our full breakdown for a detailed analysis of Seattle's road back to the playoffs.
