Yeah, this is what all coaches promise but Wells seems actually serious about it. "Competition" for spots has always felt superficial at this club.

If he really starts Alex Harris over Navarro or Aaronson, that is a HUGE statement for your home opener

The Denver Summit "Inaugural Evergreen Kit"

Will debut at The Kickoff at Empower Field on March 28.

Matt Wells says anger is a good emotion to feel about tonight as long as it's channeled correctly.

"We have to make sure the biggest victims of our poor performance tonight is Portland."

Matt Wells: "One of my biggest frustrations was the lack of solutions on the pitch from a personality perspective. Each substitute moved the game forward. ...

"We as a group, me included, were way off the level that we have set."

Matt Wells: "Alex Harris should definitely start the next game as long as he trains well this week."

Can't wait to talk about this presser. Matt Wells is vocal about his honest thoughts from this game: "It's unrecognizable from training"

😂😂😂

Seems like he held back on a couple shot opportunities he'd go for a couple years ago. Still waiting on the biannual keegan banger

Was actually very very impressed with him

FINAL: Seattle Sounders 2, Colorado Rapids 0.

Not super shocked at the result. Seattle is a really good team. One of the weirdest first halves I've ever seen. There are some things to be optimistic about even if it doesn't seem like it. Season openers are cursed for Colorado.

Rosenberry is playing his ass off

More than two years after the Colorado Rapids initially signed left back Miguel Navarro, the Venezuelan makes his debut in Burgundy*

Without the probably, I'd think that was a legit quote I wasn't there to witness

Alex Harris and Alexis Manyoma in for Paxten Aaronson and Dante Sealy.

Keegan Rosenberry playing as a 9 was not on my bingo card for this season

62' Goal Seattle: Paul Rothrock gets on the end of a deflection for a quality finish. Unlucky for Herrington, who did well to get back to defend Jesus Ferreira on the initial shot.

2-0 Seattle

Wayne Frederick II enters for Hamzat Ojediran in the 59th minute. Not sure if it's due to the headshot Ojediran just took

We get a Keegan sighting!! Keegan Rosenberry subs in for Reggie Cannon at the half. He appeared last on Decision Day for 8 minutes.

😂😂😂

That possession number tells you what you need to know

An absolutely wild first half to Matt Wells' debut as a head coach. Have to wonder how he deals with this. It won't get any weirder than this in MLS.

1-0 Seattle

TWELVE minutes of stoppage time.

Well, Matt Wells said he wants a physical team with a bit of bite. This is a bit much.

This game is bonkers

Btw, Hamzat Ojediran going with the first name on the jersey is pretty dope

I'm getting the sense Wells is demanding speed before precision in this new system. The other way around is typically more efficient. But this is what Seattle does to you, so maybe I'm wrong.

To say the least. The rain in Seattle must have a little something in it

No red card. Pretty quick check. Yellow instead for a reckless challenge. Not violent conduct.

What is this game???

26' Red card, Noah Cobb. This is turning into a disaster. He went in hard for a challenge. Whole team convinced no such card should be given. Badawi back to the monitor. On the other angle, no chance this is upheld imo

Referee Malik Badawi goes to the monitor to check for a foul on the initial set piece. The goal is taken away. Pretty soft in my opinion. Rapids catch a huge break
