# 2014 Seattle Sounders FC season

The 2014 Seattle Sounders FC season was the club's sixth season in Major League Soccer, the United States' top-tier of professional soccer. Including previous Seattle Sounders franchises, this was the 34th season of a soccer team playing in the Seattle metro area.
The Sounders earned a double for the first time in club history—winning their fourth U.S. Open Cup title and first Supporters' Shield as the best team in the MLS regular season. The team were the first to win 20 matches in the post-shootout era after a slow start to the season. During the 2014 season, the Sounders earned the most points (64) and scored the most goals (65) in the club's MLS history. The team's attempt to complete the league's first domestic treble in the MLS Cup Playoffs was halted by a loss to the LA Galaxy—Shield runners-up and later MLS Cup champions—in the Western Conference Final.

## Background and preseason

The 2013 season marked the second consecutive year that the Sounders had failed to win a trophy or title; the team had entered the playoffs with only one win in their final ten regular season matches and were eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Portland Timbers. The team had a 17–17–8 record in all competitions and increased tension between players and coaching staff. Sigi Schmid, entering his sixth season as head coach, consulted with key players in a series of summits and worked with general manager Adrian Hanauer to overhaul the team during the winter offseason. Major players, including goalkeeper Michael Gspurning, midfielder Mauro Rosales, and forward Eddie Johnson, were traded to other teams or released. New signings—described by majority owner Joe Roth as "more plumbers and less dancers"—included goalkeeper Stefan Frei, defender Chad Marshall, and several MLS veterans. A majority of the 37 players who reported to the Sounders training camp in January 2014 were new to the club.
During the winter offseason, midfielder Clint Dempsey joined his former club, Fulham FC in England's Premier League, for a two-month loan spell. Because Major League Soccer's season begins in Spring, and the Premier League begins in Fall, Dempsey did not miss any of Sounders' competitive matches, though he was not with the team for pre-season training. During the loan period, Fulham's manager René Meulensteen was replaced by Felix Magath, prompting some concerns from Sounders supporters that Dempsey was not getting the competitive experience that was the purpose for the loan.
Seattle Sounders FC's 2013-2014 winter included bringing in several new faces to further supplement the returning core. Forward Kenny Cooper (trade with FC Dallas for Adam Moffat), midfielder Marco Pappa (acquired through league Allocation Ranking rules), defender Chad Marshall (trade with Columbus Crew for an undisclosed amount allocation money and a third-round draft pick), and goalkeeper Stefan Frei (trade with Toronto FC for a conditional first-round draft pick in the 2015 SuperDraft) are the most high-profile names. These four are expected to step into the first eleven, or at least see significant playing time.
Other players acquired include midfielder Tristan Bowen (trade with Chivas USA for Mauro Rosales), forward Chad Barrett (acquired with thirteenth pick in 2014 MLS Re-Entry Draft), and defender Jalil Anibaba (trade with Chicago Fire for Patrick Ianni and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado).
Seattle also signed Stanford's Aaron Kovar and Wake Forest's Sean Okoli to Homegrown Player contracts. Both players played for Sounders FC's academy team before beginning their respective college careers.
Seattle selected Damion Lowe, Stefano Rijssel, Fabio Pereira, and Jimmy Ockford in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
