How sweet it is, the
thrill of victory and returning to your winning ways after a long skid that saw
the Emerald City chaps struggling for their survival in the Western Conference.
Nothing better than a
shield to adorn your halls as well net bragging rights in what many called a
very fierce and contested rivalry dubbed as the Cascadia.
This squad is for

foursome of a campaign and tonight the spoiling Sounders stopped their dream
cold as well in front of their faithful at BC Place.
A nice and resounding
3-0 over a squad that many see as the Western Division and Supporters Shield possible
winners, saw their luck fail in front of a determined Rave Greens determined to

postseason spot and with their winning ways the Sounders can clinch a spot in the
upcoming weeks for the grand fete of Major League Soccer postseason.
Still this match saw
a couple of bitter rival’s seeking to net the Cascadia Cup a contents internal
among the Sounders, Timbers and Whitecaps; as the winner nets a shield as well

Playing the role of underdogs these Sounders didn’t
run just played their hart out and hence the commanding result that uplifts
their spirits and morale that will indeed need when they reach the league postseason.
Despite the Whitecaps
commanding first place atop the league the Seattleites really played a
wonderful and technique filled football that at the end won tem this contest with
a convincing gallantry.
