Sunday’s 2-1 loss in Frisco, Texas was disappointing on many levels, but the Sounders also showed they are very capable of getting a results away from home against one of the top teams in the West. That is, of course, something they’ll need to continue to do if they want to make any postseason appearance last for more than a match or two.
The players are certainly aware that Herculez Gomez’ goal was wrongly disallowed, and they seem determined, just as their coach says, to return to Seattle and make a strong finish next week.
Maybe they feel they’ll get another crack at the Texas team in the MLS Cup playoffs.
