The value of the Leagues Cup — the joint tournament between Major League Soccer and Liga MX — is still the subject of some debate amongst MLS fans.
Another performance like the one the Sounders offered Saturday evening against Real Salt Lake and neither the fans nor the team will have to worry about it.
What the Sounders will have to worry about is the continued string of lethargic — at best — performances, which Saturday’s 3-0 beat-down at the hands of RSL.
The Sounders never got out of the starting blocks, limped into halftime lucky to be even, and were soundly trounced in the second half, giving up three goals, the last of which came with the RSL down a man.
