In MLS, there’s no such thing as a win you can count on. Rules around roster-building and salary caps mean even a last-place club can give the league’s best a run for their money on any given week—and the playoff system gives everyone a shot at a dramatic turnaround. This week, we share two of the greatest single-season comebacks in league history: Sporting Kansas City in 2023 and the 2016 Seattle Sounders FC. Taylor sits down with Johnny Russell, Sporting’s captain, to talk about SKC going winless over their first 10 matches last year to making the playoffs. Then Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer discusses leading the Sounders from a lackluster regular season to their first MLS Cup in 2016.Offside With Taylor Twellman is a Major League Soccer podcast, produced by Apple TV and Rain Delay Media.
