The Sounders were bound to lose again this year, but I expected a midweek game against Philadelphia to produce points. The stoppage time winner from the away team saw a 0-1 result that not only ended Seattle’s nine-game winning streak but also raised some questions about a team that had a fragile ego as recently as a few months ago. I was really generous with ratings on a few players, based on a team that played much better than the scoreline, yet somehow cannot seem to remove that last bit of doubt about it’s play.
Goalkeeper
Stef will (and should) be remembered for the 93rd minute mistake, but he was also fairly strong prior to this, and did well to integrate a changing backline.
