It was just a few days ago that I wrote about how the mood in the Seattle Sounders locker room was as bad as I’d ever seen it. I'm pretty sure the mood on Wednesday was just as dramatic, but in the opposite direction.
The Sounders’ well-deserved 2-1 win over Toronto FC was a master-class in how to win a game on the road. They defended hard, took their chances well and benefitted from a bit of good fortune. At the very least, they were “hard to beat”, something head coach Brian Schmetzer stressed he wanted to get back to.
