SEATTLE — Expectations are funny things. They can get us excited and build anticipation. But they can also set us up for disappointment.
For the Seattle Sounders, we’re getting to see both sides and I’m not sure we’ve ever seen the double-edged nature quite as clearly as over the past couple of weeks.
Make no mistake, dropping four points at home to Atlanta United and, even more egregiously, expansion Austin FC is a disappointment. Put those two results in the middle of any stretch of games or season the Sounders have ever experienced during their MLS era and I think there would have always been a palpable sense of missed opportunity.
