Driving home from the Seattle versus Houston match with two boys smiling in their sleep (Ellis, 6 and Emery, 4), I was struck by how therapeutic the match against the Dynamo was. Like other recent matches, Seattle fell behind on a rather fluky goal against the run of play. Also like previous games, the Sounders had chances to fight back. But unlike the last month plus of matches, in this game the Seattle Sounders came all the way back to earn three points and send those two boys and thousands of fellow fans home happy. The Fighting Seattle Nouhous won 2-1, at least briefly stopping the flow of losses and dropped points and creating a glimmer of hope that they may still sneak into the playoffs.
