What a strange game that was. The Seattle Sounders managed to pull off a 2-2 draw after going down 2-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes, but Coach Brian Schmetzer considered it two points dropped, given the game was at home against a side near the bottom of the MLS table. The Sounders initially had no problems adjusting to San Jose’s unorthodox pressing/man marking style, bossing the game for the opening 20 minutes or so. For the next 40 minutes of game-time, they came completely unraveled, ceding two goals and were probably lucky not to be down three or four.
