I don't understand why I don't hear more people saying Frei is the best player in Sounders history. He has been so good for so long and has always stepped up when it counts. I can't remember a single game that was lost because of him, but I can think of many that were won because of him, including our first MLS Cup when he made one of the most iconic plays in Seattle sports history. His reflexes are elite. His leadership is unquestioned. Underrated is an understatement.
Well it’s becoming more difficult for those of us who grew up watching Kasey Keller to give the nod to Frei. It is a unique problem to have, two GK’s over the course of like 25 years who have been so stellar. I’ll take having this argument any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Of course Kasey has the advantage of being a home grown from Tumwater but most of his years were before MLS.
It's absolutely a fair shout. I think generally a striker or CAM is gonna get the nod on account of playmaking/scoring being the hardest/most valuable thing to do in the game, but no player has had the consistency, longevity, and repeated habit of stepping up in big games than Stef. Build that statue.
If the question is, greatest player to ever wear a Sounders uniform, yes. If the question is, greatest player for the Sounders, there's a strong case for others like Frei, Lodeiro, Ruidiaz, Montero, Morris, Alonso. Frei gets my vote.
J.MO took a wallup to the side of the head from that frenchie. An apple/mls only barely showed a replay. Gonna have to rewatch, but looked like a var potential pk maybe.
"Frei is the best shot stopper in the league bar none." - Schmetz in the post game. Couldn't agree more!
So emotionally drained. I cant believe we are back in a final!! 💚💙 LFG!!!!

I think this was the performance that finally puts him in the conversation legitimately
Clint Dempsey is clearly the best player in your history

Dude, Jordan dialed IN.
Frei just beat Hugo Lloris by being a better keeper that him. Let that sink in. Overall Lloris is a legend by last night Frei was better in everyway.
not like us playing in the background at 2:26 😂
Oh yeah
I didn’t realize
Elite
Frei was great again. We are spoiled as sounders fans!
What did he say at 3:04? I love how Frei is so proud of the team, like they weren't feeding off of his effort.
Feeling better than Steve
Stefan has soared to the level of the Great Gordon Banks!!
Im so mad i feel asleep...we finally beat these dudes!!! seattle sounders here we go
