Deep down, we all knew this day was coming. As much fun as it might have been to dream about an MLS team joining the ranks of the world’s “invincibles”, I don’t think many of us were even willing to talk about the prospect of the Seattle Sounders going undefeated as a thing to realistically aspire to.
That the Sounders’ first loss of the season came in July, 14 games into a season in which they’ve been missing key starters in literally every match, is not just an MLS record, but something we should take a second to appreciate.
