At Sounder at Heart we have a routine with our matchday coverage. Certain people write some preview stuff; other - or the same - people write some stuff that recaps the action. And so it goes for 34-50 matches a year. There are rare, life-driven changes to this. I stepped aside much of the week due to my wife’s 40th and my 42nd birthdays.
Sunday night, I tried to return to writing. I had an MLS weekly recap to write, but I found myself distracted; unenthused. The loss to Chicago took the wind out of so many people’s sails.
