The Sounders head coach said that “rhythm is key” in getting back on track after the break
The Seattle Sounders are currently heading into a bye weekend, not coincidentally at the same time the rest of the world goes on an international break. Former head coach Sigi Schmid said at the beginning of the season that the Sounders (unlike some clubs, apparently) almost always request bye weekends that coincide with international breaks. It’s probably for the best, as a handful of the best players are either currently with their national teams or, in the case of Clint Dempsey, undergoing medical evaluation.
