Sounders lose to Whitecaps: Postgame Observations

It's a tough loss, and so much of it rests on the choices Mark Geiger made Saturday night. Rather than focus on that, these observations focus on what Sigi Schmid and his players control. Seattle Sounders fell, again. But they found a new path to loss, and still have yet to find a run of play goal from a forward. The defense remains stout in general, but flawed in specific moments.

Three Positives

Halftime adjustments

Someone saw the heavy amount of contact from Vancouver while chasing players with their back turned. In the first half Clint Dempsey, Andreas Ivanshitz and Nelson Haedo Valdez ignored the contact and tried to make the best of things.
