Only one loss by mid-May? That sounds like a first place team, right?
Not in this year’s strong Western Conference, where Seattle Sounders sit third behind a stunning LAFC side and the LA Zlatans. The Sounders are terrifying at home, but they have been squeaking by on the road since blowing out Chicago 4-2 on their first trip away from Seattle. Since then they have drawn 0-0 with Vancouver, received a TKO from LAFC, and played out a 1-1 tie with Minnesota in MUFC’s new home.
Roldan’s scoring boots
Although Seattle has only lost once, they have only knocked home multiple goals twice since March 15 — at home against Toronto and San Jose.
