Mark Geiger. That’s a name that we all know too well and we will get to see front and center this weekend when he will be the referee in the upcoming Cascadia Cup clash between the Sounders and Portland Timbers.
After apparently hitting his peak in 2014 and being awarded the honor of officiating several FIFA World Cup games, Geiger’s hasn’t seemed to be the same as his officiating has been inconsistent to say the least.
The Sounders saw him twice last year, both losses. The first came on March 19 when the Sounders hosted the Vancouver Whitecaps.
