If you told me at this time two years ago, I would be this excited about a draw, I'd laugh in your face. This time though, a draw was a good road result and most of the West played each other, giving the Sounders an ability to make up some ground. Overall only one result went the wrong way for Seattle this week.
Friday 7/1
Chicago Fire 1 - San Jose Earthquakes 0: Kick things off right with an East team that had no business getting points in this one according to the standings, stealing all three against a mid-conference SJ side.
