Going into this game, you might have justifiably been worried about the match against Sporting KC. Owning a sparkling record and the second-most points in the league, the home team was matched up against a Seattle squad without a single goal or point in league play, and without multiple key players. While my prediction of a Sounders win didn’t come true, they did play very well on the road against a good team, scored two goals and earned their first point of the year. With the addition of some players next week and the continued recovery from health and discipline issues, Seattle can perhaps leave some of the tainted first two months of the season behind them due to a strong showing in the midwest.
