One of the persistent mysteries surrounding the Sounders’ tactics is Brian Schmetzer’s reluctance to play Pedro de la Vega on the left side.

The Seattle Sounders turned easily their most disappointing performance of the season. What makes it sting even worse is that expectations were quite high for their game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were missing more than half their starters and were coming off a nearly team-wide bout of “gastrointestinal symptoms.” The Sounders responded by looking flat and almost uninterested at times.
