SEATTLE — Every season, it seems, has a point of inflection. A game that, in hindsight at least, you can point to and say “this is where it all turned around, for better or worse.”
Who knows if Saturday’s 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids was that match, but there are definitely reasons to think it could be.
At the very least, we know it was a match where everything seemed to be working against the Seattle Sounders almost from kickoff. But instead of hanging their heads after giving up their earliest goal of the season and playing almost an entire half down a man for the second consecutive home game, the Sounders responded with a performance that was encouraging both for its gutsiness and quality.
