We’re at 88 days now.
That’s 88 days since the Sounders last lost an MLS game. Eighty eight days since the reigning champions last tasted defeat in league play.
The months of July and August? Not an L on the books. September produced a point the one time they took the pitch, too.
All in all, that’s 12 consecutive matches in which Sounders opponents have failed to get the better of them — which has the once-middling team one point out of first place in the Western Conference. Mission accomplished? Not even close. But they do look like men on a mission.
