In an odd way, the goal that might symbolize everything the Sounders hope to accomplish this season wasn’t even scored by one of their own players.
Last Sunday, playing the Los Angeles Galaxy, 10 Sounders passed the ball between themselves 21 consecutive times before opposing left back Ashley Cole accidentally booted a Joevin Jones cross in to his own net. But regardles of who actually got credit for the tally, the complete domination of Galaxy defenders by a Sounders team achieving the posession game to near perfection was everything they are supposed to be about.
“When you’re having good possession I think everybody has more confidence everybody’s getting more touches,” Dempsey said after a workout Thursday at CenturyLink Field.
