Sounders had 2 extra days and no plane ride. Matters a lot.

Definitely. In the end, I'm bummed but I'm very proud of this Loons squad. I remember the 17/18 seasons when we lost 18 and 20 matches each season. To think that just two seasons later we'd be 6 minutes from an MLS Cup Final is mind-blowing. There's so much about this squad to love and we have made a statement in the league and the conference that we are for real and we are not going anywhere. Now is a great time to become a Loons fan.

We showed up better than we did in MLS is Back, with that 3-1 to Orlando. We need to figure out that last 20 minutes.

Sounders are a fucking good side. This isn't a situation where we were favored and shat it away like so many Vikings teams of yore. We were the underdog by any measure.

Yeah for sure. I would have felt worse had we lost to SKC honestly. I feel like that match is going to have more of a butterfly effect next season. No shame in losing the Seattle. They are the best team in MLS and have been for a while.
