Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer said on Friday that despite some knocks his players took in their 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship on Tuesday, everyone is available to travel to Commerce City for the return leg on Sunday (1 p.m. PT; ESPN, 770 KTTH, El Rey 1360 AM).
Everyone, that is, except the indefinitely sidelined Clint Dempsey, who was officially ruled out for the season in September. But that didn’t keep him from practicing with his teammates on Friday at Starfire Sports.
