Best bet on the Tube

The Seattle Sounders have never had a worse five-game stretch in a MLS season than the one they just completed. No wins. Three losses. Two ties. Only a six-game winless streak in Seattle’s inaugural season was longer, but even then the team managed five ties and continued to earn points in the standings. So what happened to that franchise-best start? Well, technically that’s still going with a 7-4-3 record. But make no mistake, the Sounders are in a slump heading into today’s home game ( 7 or 10 p.m. on Root) against Sporting Kansas City. Seattle’s last match was Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Montreal.
