The Seattle Sounders shut down any hopes for the F.C. Dallas winning the Major League Soccer Cup this year by eliminating them from the playoffs. Saturday night’s game at the Qwest Fields in Seattle was a saddening loss for Dallas when they let in two goals, ending the game 2-1.

Sigi Schmid waves to the fans, in a 3-0 Seattle Sounders victory over the New Your Red Bulls, Thursday, March 19, 2009.
The lone point was enough to crush Dallas dreams for a cup this season but hey did they really think they could best the Seattle Sounders? The team was introduced this 2009 season and was marked as the team to beat after they acquired Steve Zakuani (who was the MLS first draft pick) and head coach Sigi Schmid.
Not only was the victory a important one for the Sounders it was also significant because it marked Sigi Schmid’s 125 game wins in the MLS, a new all time record.
