TUKWILA, Wash. — Coming off a stretch that has seen the Seattle Sounders capture six points in six games, the team returned to Starfire Tuesday continuing to search for answers to what ails them. Interestingly, the team did not appear to start training until nearly an hour after the scheduled start time of 10:30 a.m. The delay was attributed to a film session that “went long,” though the coaches had long since made their way out to the training field, meaning the players were by themselves for at least 20 minutes.
The road ahead doesn’t get any easier with a matchup against eternal rivals Portland at the newly refurbished Providence Park set for this Friday, and the team looking for a way to regain their acknowledged lost confidence.
