The Seattle Sounders are the second seed in the Western Conference. The Sounders will play the higher seeded of the Western teams that survive this round. If the Whitecaps win on Wednesday, they play the Whitecaps. If San Jose wins, they will play the winner of Houston vs. SKC. Everyone likes less travel, right? Go Vancouver Whitecaps.
Secondly, the only way that the Sounders would be able to host MLS Cup is if the New York Red Bulls make the cup. Let’s go Red Bulls!
