We’ve now flipped the calendar on 2020 and can start looking forward to 2021. Our staff has a few predictions for the year ahead:

Sounders will host MLS Cup

Sounders will be back in the MLS Cup Final and they’ll host it. That isn’t a big stretch of the imagination but these next few are a bit more peculiar. The Sounders will have five game-winners by a player not currently on the roster. Xavier Arreaga will not see a yellow card until his fifth appearance. And the Sounders will win the Supporters’ Shield on the last day of the season with an 83rd minute goal, grabbing the win and three points to push Seattle past D.
