The Seattle Sounders opened the Conference Semifinal round on Sunday night in Vancouver with a nil-nil draw. The return leg will be in Seattle on Thursday night, the first priority is to survive and advance from this round over the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The only team in the Eastern Conference that Seattle would host MLS Cup against is the New York Red Bulls. Go Energy Drinks!
If the Sounders survive, this space will be much more opinionated previewing Sunday’s MLS Triple Header of conference semifinal return legs. But pick your opponent, do you want to stay in Cascadia and have a rivalry match for a berth in MLS Cup but have to play the return leg in Portland?
