SEATTLE — Maybe there was something figurative in the fact that a massive, biblical deluge opened up in the sky over CenturyLink Field on Sunday. Around the 60th minute of the Seattle Sounders' season opener against Sporting Kansas City, the heavens broke and the downpour arrived.
Rain in March. This is Seattle, after all.
Ten minutes later, Sporting KC poured on the only goal in a game the Sounders would rather put firmly in the rearview.
The Sounders enjoyed a bright opening 40 minutes to their 2016 MLS season after being dumped out of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League earlier this week.
