In Kansas City the heat was intense, the new soccer stadium is a fine pleasure, and the Sounders win a game they had no business in taking.

Sounders fans have all they could hope for in the rematch against arrogant LA. The team lost twice to Galaxy early in the season, but things are very different now, when it counts, in this classic rivalry.

Still, the home match with Houston ends up 0-0. The key in the deciding playoff game Nov. 8 will be if Houston gives way to its sneaking fear that Seattle may actually be the better team.

A weekend of first-cabin sports in Seattle, with Huskies, Mariners, and Sounders all playing top teams. But still the Sounders can't seem to score at home.

The rookie-ness is gone, and they are a remarkably good team. Chicago teaches a few lessons from a veteran team, knowing how to factor in a lenient referee.

The day began with all the major local teams, save the Sounders, having lost their last game, or more. But the Seahawks showed what it means to be "appalling."
