The Sounders are back after an international break, and I’m back from a long vacation. It wasn’t the prettiest nor was it pleasant, but Seattle comes away from Vancouver with 1 point. Only time will tell whether or not it’s a point earned or two points dropped. Had that match ended after the 85th minute, I would have been annoyed. But after the 97th minute? I feel relieved. This is a really weird sport.

Look, that ending was insanely nerve wracking and we were all cursing the referee for making the call that he did, but based on the way the play developed, it’s completely understandable how he makes that call from very far away.
