SEATTLE — There’s no denying that the Seattle Sounders are playing better of late. That they are coming off a 5-0 dismantling of the an admittedly short-handed LA Galaxy and are now riding a six-game winning streak are only the most recent and obvious examples of the improved play.
Figuring out why they are playing better is a bit a more complex. Prior to the Galaxy win, there wasn’t even a ton of statistical evidence that the Sounders were actually playing all that much better.
