Postgame Pontifications: Three points all the same

SEATTLE — As Brian Schmetzer was only too happy to point out in Sunday’s postgame press conference, there is no such thing as a “must-win” game in April. Hyperbole aside, though, the home game against Minnesota United got pretty close.

It wasn’t just that the Sounders came into the match winless, it was that they had already lost two very winnable home games. LAFC has proven themselves to be a better-than-normal expansion team, but their defense has also given up 13 goals. The Montreal Impact have given up 17 goals -- although they’ve also somehow managed to beat both of last year’s MLS Cup finalists.
