There may not be much chance of success, but that isn’t stopping the Seattle Sounders from appealing Roman Torres’ red card from Sunday’s game. Torres was shown a red card after fouling Jermaine Jones on a breakaway near the top of the penalty area.
“Pretty much all of my people thought it wasn’t a red, I thought it wasn’t a red,” Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer told the media on Wednesday. “Whether that appeal goes through, who’s to say? It’s still subjective.”
Schmetzer said the Sounders put together a video presentation for the MLS Disciplinary Committee showing various angles of the play.
