1 - You're sort of the polar opposite of Real Salt Lake right now, and you're peaking at the right time. Does that give you confidence heading into this match?
At home, with Schmetzer in charge and a return to decent health this team should be confident. At the same time, it's not as good as it could be. There are only two attacking threats and too many players play right on the edge between fouling and earning cautions. This is a match that the Sounders have to win in order to show that not only can they make the playoffs, they can win in them.
