How you view this Sounders season will likely determine how you perceive last weekend’s 0-0 match versus New England. If you are cautiously optimistic, you might call it a quality result: a road draw, the third game in a week on a few days rest, a shutout against a playoff opponent. On the other hand, if you’re ready to throw in the towel, you were likely unsatisfied with a listless, sometimes downright boring match where the two sides combined for a paltry two shots on frame in a scoreless 90 minutes. I like to look at it both ways, appreciating that this was a game we’d have lost a month ago, but there is still much room for improvement.
