It’s a jam-packed pod as we take stock of the Seattle Sounders’ big road trip, which saw them post a 1-1-1 record across matches in Houston, LAFC, and Portland. Was the debacle at LAFC a cause for concern? Is a 1-1 draw at Portland an acceptable result? We discuss that and more in a double-game review. Later on, we dive into our Agenda Check and give our Winners and Losers from Matchday 14 in MLS.
