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 logged a resounding win on Saturday against a top-table Revolution side, the exact kind of thing that could prove their summer skid a thing of the past. But with six games until playoff time, the exam is far from over.
The Sounders came back on Thursday with a rather unorthodox game-winner, but not without some glaring issues they need to work on as the final septet of fixtures comes on the horizon.
The Sounders' Wednesday victory was a milestone the team badly needed after their months-long inability to put up three points against the weakest of competition, but they will need more where that came from as they enter the final stretch.
The Sounders had some positives to take away from their Saturday draw, but it was just that - a draw. And thus the frustrations continue building as time dwindles for the Rave green.
