Reader: Give these guys a break. They’re really, really good.Reader Stephen Heisler responds to Sounders FC Reward Seattle Weekly’s Defense of 0-0 Ties With Miserable, Season-Ending 0-0 Performance. He thinks we’re being too harsh on the locals.”Mark,You seam like a reasonable guy, but scoring is just a fraction of the game. While the Sounders did not score, they also held one of Major League Soccer’s strongest attacks in check for 186 minutes over two games.I was at the game yesterday, and was very impressed with the tactical play and commitment of the Sounders. In this game, coaches have to make a choice. Seattle decided on defense, and the players bought into it. Often such defensive pressure will come at the expense of the attack.Ching’s goal was one for the ages, and I doupt he could duplicate such a strike with 20 like attempts. He is a great player, and acknowledged that it was of the greatest goals he has ever scored.It is high time that you see this team for what it really is. A powerhouse on the frindge of something special. Embrace them, they deserve your support.
