The 2017 Major League Soccer season starts Friday. The Seattle Sounders are on the road Saturday, taking on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium. It appears one Clint Dempsey will be in the lineup for the defending champs. According to the Seattle Sounders official site, head coach Brian Schmetzer has indicated Dempsey will probably be in his starting XI.
This is obviously exciting news for Sounders fans and USMNT fans alike. While it seems playing a full 90 minutes is still a ways away for Deuce, getting the nod for the first league game is a tremendous step.
