We saw plenty of good signs from the Seattle Sounders through the first four games. They had mostly dominated the bad teams and been able to hang with the teams we expect to be closer to elite. But on the heels of back-to-back scoreless performances, there remained at least some level of doubt that they’d truly turned the page from 2022, especially when it came to road games.
After their demolition of Sporting KC at Children’s Mercy Park, however, I think that notion can be put to rest.
While this is not the best version of Sporting KC, it is effectively the same one that ended the Sounders’ season last year.
