The Seattle Sounders, tied for the MLS lead with the Galaxy, have collapsed defensively in their last two games, including a loss last night to Dallas, which presumably would give Bruce Arena’s team motivation to pounce when it plays Sunday in Carson against the New York Red Bulls.

#lagalaxy have only lost to two Western Conference teams all season. RSL on Opening Night and Colorado on the road May 3.

With five games left, #LAGalaxy's 59 goals already tie post-shootout era club record (2012). Only one other @mls club scored 59+ since 2000.

But Seattle meets lowly Chivas USA at home the day before, allowing them to take the initiative in the Western Conference against a club that seemingly is incapable of scoring despite having striker “Cubo” Torres called up by Mexico for a second time earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy are trying to figure out how to replace the retiring Landon Donovan and big names — older than him — are cropping up in trade rumors.
Check out the Seattle swoon below:
