On a team crowded with United States national team hopefuls, many of the Seattle Sounders will be watching the United States against Panama Tuesday night (7 PM, BeIN Sports, Telemundo). That includes the coaching staff, as assistant Djimi Traore explains “We watch all the games because our main guys are with the national teams. We assess them because we see if they are day-by-day, when they come back who is available or did they take a knock or get injured.”
For the players their focus varies. They get to watch soccer for enjoyment like Chad Marshall.
