SEATTLE — Whatever is ailing the Seattle Sounders on the road seems to be fixed by playing at home. The Sounders just finished playing six games in 23 days. Three of those were at home and three were on the road.
In the three home games, the Sounders went 3-0-0 and didn’t give up a goal. In the three road games, they went 0-0-3 and allowed 10 goals. Calling them a Jekyll-and-Hyde team seems to be doing a disservice to the study of the fractured self.
The good news is that the Sounders are playing well enough that they head into this two-week break actually occupying a the final playoff spot in the West for the first time all season (never mind that the LA Galaxy are only a point behind with two games in hand).
