Now that the defending champion Seattle Sounders have made the conference finals, they have to wait a couple days to see who they'll face.
The Sounders beat Cascadia rival Vancouver 2-0 on Thursday night to advance following a scoreless first leg of the conference semifinal. Clint Dempsey, who was suspended for the first match, scored both goals in the second.
Last season, Seattle was a fourth seed and swept through the playoffs into the final against Toronto FC, beating the Reds 5-4 on penalties after a scoreless draw.
This season, Seattle was a second seed, earning a knockout-round bye.
