TUKWILA, Wash. — “There were people out there who just now expected us to win every game, which isn’t going to happen.”
Three days after dropping the season opener 2-1 in Houston against the Dynamo, Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei wanted to put things in perspective. Yes, the Sounders were coming off their first MLS Cup in franchise history last season, but a road loss in a place where they have still never won may not be the best barometer of how 2017 will pan out.
The Dynamo jumped all over the Sounders from the opening whistle and spoiled any carry-over from last season’s celebration.
