SEATTLE – Clint Dempsey and Jordan Morris each bagged a goal for the Seattle Sounders in their 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at CenturyLink Field on Sunday.
Now both turn their focus to an entirely different challenge as they join the United States men’s national team for their massive upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Honduras (Friday, 7:30 p.m. PT; FS1) and Panama.
Morris’ health has become the biggest storyline surrounding his latest USMNT call-up. The reigning MLS Rookie of the Year re-aggravated a preseason ankle injury during the first half against New York and Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer said after the game that the initial plan was to sub him off at halftime before he successfully lobbied to stay in the game.
