After several days of contemplation on the subject, I have reached the following conclusion; the Sounders didn't disappoint me on Saturday versus the Revolution. Here's why:
1. Montero scored the goal of the week, no question.
2. The team played a solid first half.
3. Keller would've taken on God-like status had he made either save that resulted in the New England goals, and that's a bit too much to ask.
4. The team did not create a bunch of chances we subsequently squandered and I'd much rather watch us play badly and lose than be the better team and lose or tie.
5. Alonso was flat out righteous in his efforts and only needed everyone else on the Sounders to replicate his work ethic to assure a solid performance (no small task, mind you).
6. Should we continue to perform as we did at New England, we will not make the play-offs and I won't have to worry about attending one or more cold and rainy matches at Qwest.
There is my silver lining. Don't call me a pessimist ever again, you meany-pantses.
