Even with the possibility of Brian Carroll's 350th career league appearance, the headlines around Saturday's match seem hinged on the ever topsy-turvy MLS, which will showcase two of the bigger surprises from the first six weeks of the 2016 season at CenturyLink Field.
The Union (3-2-0, 9 points) sit behind Montreal Impact at the top of the Eastern Conference Table, albeit only because of goal differential. Seattle Sounders FC (1-3-1, 4 points) sit at the bottom of the Western Conference Table and are already startling 10 points behind table-leader FC Dallas. They’re even six points behind Colorado for a mid-table standing is hard to fathom.
