SEATTLE — It seemed like it was just the other day that we were brimming with confidence. The Seattle Sounders had just knocked off previously unbeaten Toronto FC, looked good doing it and were set for a week of games that had the potential to leave them as the clear top team in MLS.
Funny how things change.
Less than a week later, the Sounders are now two-thirds of the way through that stretch and emotions around the team are quite different. After a blowout loss to LAFC and tie that required them to come back from two goals down at home to the San Jose Earthquakes, confidence is in short supply and healthy bodies are are running thin.
