They’re sitting atop the Supporters’ Shield standings with 29 points and have easily the best goal-difference at +15. More remarkable than all of that is they’ve managed this while missing as many as six potential starters for solid chunks of the season.

They’ve also not yet conceded a goal from open play, a streak that now stands at 900 minutes which is the longest MLS has on record. The latest win was in some ways their most comprehensive.

The Sounders have, of course, done this without Jordan Morris, while only getting 24 minutes in total from Nicolas Lodeiro and their two most recent results have come without Stefan Frei.

Ford and Muldoon have been two of the bigger behind-the-scenes forces in terms of helping raise awareness of various social justice causes among the Sounders. Perhaps most notably is their efforts to bring attention to Manny Ellis' murder, a case that has highlight all sorts of concerning law-enforcement behavior.

So, maybe in that very specific way the fact that the Seattle Sounders suddenly can’t beat the Portland Timbers at home makes ... sense?

What we know is that this is probably about as close to "normal" as we're going to get for the foreseeable future.

The 4-1 scoreline may have been a little flattering even as the Sounders were thoroughly outplayed.

They then fell behind in their home leg, only to find themselves seemingly cruising to advancement only to fall in penalties.
