Eighty four days into the defending champions’ season, it finally happened. With a 1-0 win over the Timbers on Saturday, the Sounders claimed back-to-back victories for the first time all year.
Some might say the results mark the beginning of a turnaround — a midseason surge signaling Seattle is still the team to beat in Major League Soccer. Cristian Roldan? He’d say the Sounders have been the team to beat since Day 1.
“Ironically, we were playing better the first 10 games of the season than we have our last two,” said the Sounders midfielder, whose team has actually played 13 games so far.
