Anyone who was depressed after the previous result had to wait less than five minutes for Seattle to get on the scoreboard against San Jose. And then, like when you give your little brother the broken controller and thrash them repeatedly, the Sounders poured it on with merciless precision for the next 85. They scored almost at will, including four goals in the first 20 minutes, on the way to a 7-1 absolute beat down of the visiting Earthquakes. The only blemish was an absurd penalty that gifted the away team a late goal. Otherwise, Seattle displayed the most dominant soccer they’ve ever produced outside of early round Open Cup matches.
