Sounders FC kiss their sister again

Okay incest jokes aside, here's the reason many Americans don't like soccer... all the freakin' ties. Sure you can also tie in football, but that happens so rarely that Donovan McNabb didn't even know about it.

The Sounders FC tied FC Dallas 1-1 on Saturday, missing four scoring opportunities along the way. Here's my thing about the tie. When you have a chance to add more points in the standings against the worst team in the league, you'd better take advantage of it. Seattle's schedule the past two weeks has been pretty pedestrian and they've managed just two ties. What happens when the competition ramps up?
