SEATTLE — The last time the Seattle Sounders lost an MLS match was back on June 17. That was about 10 weeks ago, the Sounders have gone 6-0-5 and are now the slight favorites to finish atop the Western Conference.
By only looking at the comments here over the last few days, you’d be excused for not realizing any of that. Why? The results of the last two games were well short of what the Sounders seemingly deserved.
The 1-1 tie with the Portland Timbers on Sunday wasn’t nearly as dominant as the tie with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday, but it also felt more like two points dropped than one point gained.
