Coming off the dispiriting loss in MLS Cup where he did not perform terribly well, it is reasonable to ask if Alex Roldan can become the day to day starter at right back for the Seattle Sounders, and if social media is any indication, fans are skeptical.
However, it is obvious that the coaching staff really likes what they see in Alex, and there is every reason to believe that the position is his to lose going into next season.
Roldan’s is an easy story to like and he is easy to root for. Of course, this is professional soccer, and at the end of the day no hometown love or sibling connection will overcome poor performances.
