Ever since the Seattle Sounders scored a thorough road win over Toronto FC on July 2, they’ve been in a pretty steady decline. Thanks to the logjammed playoff field, though, the Sounders have managed to stay in the race despite going 2-6-0 in the next eight games following that match.
While they’ve stayed in the race, there have been precious few signs that they’re poised to make a serious run.
Disappointing as the ultimate result was in Friday’s 3-3 tie with the LA Galaxy, I think there’s reason to believe it could prove to be a turning point.
