SEATTLE — Well, I didn’t see that coming and I’m positive you didn’t either. But sometimes that’s the game of soccer. The Sounders went three months without losing a game — 9 wins, with 12 unbeaten. Last night will sting, but Sunday’s kickoff is just 80 hours away. Here are the winners and losers from last night’s defeat to the Philadelphia Union.

The Legend of Harry Shipp
It’s no secret that Harry Shipp was playing well while the Sounders were streaking. But just how well was that? In Harry Shipp’s last 13 starts, the Sounders were 11-0-2.
