The Sounders have announced three kickoff time changes. First, they have moved up the kickoff time of the friendly on July 8 against Eintracht Frankfurt from 1:00 pm to 12:00 pm.
The friendly was moved up to allow fans to watch the first game of the 2017 Gold Cup for the US Men’s national team against Panama. They are hoping to allow Sounders fans to watch as many as four of their players play in that game — Clint Dempsey, Jordan Morris, Cristian Roldan and Roman Torres.
The team will be hosting a viewing party for that Gold Cup match in the North Plaza of CenturyLink Field.
