Postgame Pontifications: This is depressing
sounderatheart.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Sounders suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Toluca FC in Mexico, extending their losing streak to seven games, the longest in their MLS history.
- The Sounders were thoroughly outplayed, with Toluca dominating possession (70-30%) and shots (39-4), and forcing goalkeeper Stefan Frei to make 15 saves.
- Injuries and a lack of lineup changes have contributed to the team's poor performance, leaving coach Brian Schmetzer hoping for unlikely miracles to turn things around.
- Despite some effort, the Sounders have struggled with ability and execution since returning from the World Cup break, with no immediate solutions or impactful signings expected before the transfer window closes.
- The team’s recent results suggest a dismantling of their previously strong foundation, and recovery will require more than hope and perseverance.
