The quality of play between the Sounders and CF Montréal on Saturday could only be described with some of Quebec's characteristic curses. For Seattle, it was a badly missed chance to rack up points in a tight Western Conference.
The Sounders could have used a magician's touch in the final 30 minutes of their loss on Wednesday, but unfortunately for the visitors, that touch had already come against them.
The question from early in the season - is the Sounders' opening legit? - is long since its expiration date. The new question is: can they recover in time to make the playoffs? Their most recent loss to Austin FC makes things look quite dire indeed.
Questions are becoming almost existential for the Sounders as they go into their Wednesday match against Austin with seven straight MLS losses in tow. How did loss number seven (this time to the 'Caps) unfold on Sunday?
It may not have been an MLS game (and it may be too late to advance in Leagues Cup), but at long last, the Sounders broke their losing streak and their striker no-scoring streak. Oh yeah, and Seba Gomez put on a show.
