TUKWILA, Wash. – When the Seattle Sounders take on the LA Galaxy at CenturyLink Field on Saturday (1 p.m. PT; ESPN, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM | TICKETS), there will be no shortage of storylines.
There’s the obvious talking point that comes with a return trip from former Sounders Head Coach and current Galaxy boss Sigi Schmid, who manned the Seattle sidelines from its expansion season of 2009 until halfway through ’16. There’s also plenty at stake as it pertains to the Western Conference playoff picture, with the streaking Sounders trying to fight their way above the red line for the first time all season and the Galaxy looking to improve on their current fourth-place perch.
