SEATTLE — Beer was still dripping from the brim of Cristian Roldan’s “2019 MLS Cup champs” hat when a reporter asked him about the Seattle Sounders’ claim at being called a “dynasty.”
As the word tumbled out of the reporter’s mouth, a sly smile flashed across Roldan’s face. The sweet smell of celebration hung in the air and liquid courage was surely coursing through his veins. But even in that moment, Roldan knew exactly what had to be said.
“We have the talent, we have the coaching staff, we have the fans, we have everything to set us up for success,” Roldan said.
