If you blinked, you might have missed the Seattle Sounders ingloriously bombing out of the Leagues Cup. While other MLS teams have looked strong navigating this tournament, Seattle started off with a whimper and ran out the door with a whisper. Throughout two matches the Sounders conceded seven and scored two, with both of their goals coming in a six minute burst of competency. For long stretches of both games Seattle looked terrible, lacking a clear plan and getting bossed decisively off the pitch. Whether it is a lack of talent, lack of execution, lack of design, lack of direction, lack of effort, or lack of caring is unknown, but ultimately this team is one thing: Lacking.
