SEATTLE — That was certainly exhilarating, wasn’t it? I know I found myself basically holding my breath for the better part of 70 minutes, only to exhale at the end and wonder what it was all about.
Actually, no, I’m not talking about the latest Game of Thrones episode, but it did seem like the Seattle Sounders were battling an endless stream of tireless attackers while they were holding on for dear life, just like our friends at Winterfell. In the end, a 1-1 tie against top-of-the-table Los Angeles FC did feel almost like a victory, but it also left an overwhelming sense that there is still much work to be done.
