The Seattle Sounders have been gone for about two weeks now, and the updates have been relatively hard to come by. Coach Brian Schmetzer remedied that ahead of Thursday’s Concacaf Champions’ League match against CD Olimpia, holding a conference call to update reporters on the status of the team.
The Sounders arrived in San Pedro Sula this afternoon under oppressive weather conditions — the temperature hit 95 today. However, Schmetzer said he doesn’t expect the weather to be much of a problem at the start of the game given the 9 p.m. local kickoff time.
As to the state of the team, Schmetzer provided several updates clearing up a few outstanding issues, though one of them is certainly a cause for concern.
