Three Things We Learned against the Seattle Sounders with Ian Joy

Three things we learned at Seattle on Saturday afternoon…

1.Big Day for the Defense

Let’s start with the defense, defense can win you championships and make you successful, for me, seeing the change Jefferson Mena coming into the lineup was always going to be a question mark. It was a big moment for him personally to step into the lineup in place of Jason Hernandez and do a job. He did a fantastic job. I was little bit nervous when he started the game, but he did a great job he was really solid, communicated very well aside Fredric Brilliant, who I thought was very good today and the team defended as a whole unit.
