Looking for a pick-me-up against a short-handed opponent, the Seattle Sounders instead turned in one of their most disappointing performances to date in falling 3-0 to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday. The Whitecaps were missing seven starters due to international duty and were limited in training all week due to a stomach bug but took a 1-0 lead just before halftime and then took advantage of two Sounders red cards early in the second half.
