Just about everyone seems to agree that the Seattle Sounders have rightfully put their focus on Concacaf Champions League this year, and they’ve got their biggest game yet coming up next week. That goes a long way to explaining why they’ve started the MLS regular season just 2-3-1.
But Brian Schmetzer has been just as adamant that he doesn’t feel as though they need to literally sacrifice the regular season to achieve their CCL goals.
Coming off a frustrating home loss to lowly Inter Miami, the Sounders understand that Saturday’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes carries a bit more importance.
