Sometimes things just don’t go your way. I think it’s important to say that right off the bat. It’s important to say that the Sounders played pretty well and probably didn’t deserve to lose 3-1. But sometimes things just don’t go your way, in life and in soccer. Especially this year. It doesn’t make it any easier or anything, but it’s helpful to realize flukey things happens. And it feels wild to say that a 3-1 loss to LAFC can even be considered flukey, but here we are.

Bad bounces

I think you probably have to give LAFC credit on the first goal.
