After a high to start the season, this 3-0 loss for the LA Galaxy against the Seattle Sounders reinforced some of the concerns about the defense in the first two games.

Derrick Williams can take a mulligan since he’s coming back from injury, and he’s learning his teammates. But he’s got to provide more at centerback, as Nick Depuy came crashing down to earth.
