The Sounders can hardly find reason to complain about their current lot. With two games left in the season, they can win either game and book a spot in the postseason. Even if the somewhat disappointing scoreless draw against Houston on Wednesday didn’t get them into the playoffs, it did at least deliver that luxury.
After the way the season looked at the start of August, nobody’s complaining.
That doesn’t mean they wanted to be in this particular position at this particular time. Not with circumstances the way they were a scant few days ago.
