As far as Cascadia Cup matches go, BC Place doesn’t have quite the same sense of foreboding intimidation that Providence Park carries, but the Sounders nevertheless can’t seem to stop dropping the ball when they visit their Cascadia rivals to the north.
On Friday against the Whitecaps it was yet another outing where Seattle’s anemic attack showcased an inability to put the ball anywhere near goal. It was an offense that ran out of ideas — and space — in the final third before opting to plant their flag and die on the hill labeled “Crosses”. Which is unfortunately an all too familiar feeling for Sounders fans over the last 13 months.
