Is it your first time using the digital PDF program? It runs 33 pages in length and tells you everything you need about the match. The great thing about the digital version is, although you can print it, if you use it on a web connection you can click through the interactive document to find out more information as you read. You can access team rosters, storylines and a match preview, but there’s so much more to see as well. There is a page about THE NINETY, which is helpful if you’ve never visited the Sounders hub. There is a list of full stadium matches for the year as well as team stats up until this point. The guides contain background information about both teams and their players, but also other details about the matches, such as who will be referring during the match. You can also read about any injuries and players that will be out due to recovery time, which is nice to see so you don’t hold your breath waiting to see your favorite player take the field.

Among the ads and information you will also find some fun fact boxes. For example, did you know that when Jordan Morris scored his goal during the last match he became the club’s all-time record holder for most goals in a regular season by a Homegrown Player?

It is truly the best way to freely access any Sounders information that you are seeking in one place.
