Jordan Morris didn’t just score a goal last week, he smashed the Seattle Sounders FC all-time scoring record, etching his name even deeper into the Rave Green history books with an acrobatic finish. But somehow, even with that massive milestone and a clutch goal in a 3-1 win over Minnesota United FC, he only pulled in 4.2% of the fan vote for Major League Soccer’s Goal of the Matchday. Seriously, 4.2%?
Messi’s Magic Is Getting Unfairly Predictable
Look, we all know Lionel Messi is incredible. The dude makes the impossible look like a casual Tuesday. For the second time in three weeks, Inter Miami CF’s superstar walked away with the AT&T Goal of the Matchday honors, snagging a whopping 80.2% of the fan vote. His winning goal? A perfect free kick from an almost impossible angle in a 2-1 loss to the Columbus Crew. You almost expect it from him at this point. It’s wild, it’s amazing, but it also feels like he’s on a different playing field when it comes to fan voting.
Our Guy Morris Deserved More Love
While Messi was doing Messi things, our own Jordan Morris was busy making actual club history. That acrobatic finish for the Sounders wasn’t just pretty, it made him the club’s all-time leading scorer. That’s a legacy moment for the Emerald City! He led the squad to a crucial 3-1 win over Minnesota United FC, and that should resonate way more than just 4.2% of the vote. Milan Iloski from the Philadelphia Union snagged second place with 9.1% for a long-distance screamer, and even German legend Thomas Müller from Vancouver got 6.5% for a brilliant finish. Morris’s record-breaking moment deserved way more recognition nationally. It’s a testament to his impact and longevity for our club, and honestly, it feels like the rest of the league needs to wake up and appreciate what we’ve got here in Seattle.
This isn’t just about a single goal; it’s about the continued legacy of one of our own. Jordan Morris becoming the Sounders’ all-time leading scorer is massive for the club, for the fans, and for the history books. We know what he means to the Rave Green, and that’s what truly matters as we keep pushing through the regular season. Let’s make sure everyone else starts noticing that too.
