Seattle Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer on Monday dismissed the idea there was anything palpable at stake beyond three points when his side return to MLS action against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday .

Three games is three games, four games is four.

After a well-documented recent history of slow starts, the Sounders have taken nine points from their first three matches for just the second time in club history, and have never taken 12 out of four.

Schmetzer said continuing to win is not about history, but about escaping the need for a furious second-half charge up the table, remembering the advice of late former Sounders and LA Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid.
