"The effort of the guys I thought was great. I thought our play was good as well. We need to get the ball in the back of the net. At the end of the day, it's the only stat that counts." -Sigi Schmid
The Seattle Sounders were shut out at home by a Colorado Rapids that is unexpectedly among the elite in the Western Conference. The match at CenturyLink Field could have been a respite before a tough road trip and a chance to pocket some needed points. Instead the Rapids found a set piece goal and did enough to limit Seattle's chances -- chances the Sounders didn't look ready to do much with anyway.
