The Soccer Gods truly can be fickle, even more so on the biggest stage.
The Seattle Sounders international contingent entered the final round of World Cup matches with everything to play for. Even in a year filled with unpredictable results, having all of the Sounders representatives playing in final-round matches that matter was a pleasant surprise.
The prospect of Cameron, Ecuador and the United States making it to the knockout stages surely had the Sounders social media team salivating. In the end they’ll have to settle for one.
Not that Ecuador or Cameroon have anything to hang their heads about, as both sides saw their chances go to the final minutes of their respective matches before seeing their dreams dashed.
