Sounders won again, this time in a gritty game that you don’t have to feel dirty about winning. It was Seattle’s fourth win in a row, fifth straight result and they did it north of the border to officially eliminate Vancouver from the playoffs. Besides Seattle eliminating teams from playoff ability two matches in a row (Chicago on Wednesday), the rest of the league is doing their part to eliminate themselves from playoff spots.
Orlando, Chicago, and Vancouver are the only clubs that officially can not make the MLS playoffs now. Orlando was beaten at home, before the storm fully rolled through, by the Montreal Impact in the first Sunday match.
