Seattle center back Roman Torres will face the Galaxy for the first time ever on Sunday at the StubHub Center. And given the strength of both his and Robbie Keane's personalities, tempers are likely to flair within L.A.'s attacking third.

They’ve met in three of the last four postseasons, Seattle winning the most recent playoff matchup but Los Angeles taking the series of greater significance. There was that painfully familiar month-and-a-half at the end of the 2014 campaign, four games in five weeks that decided both the Supporters’ Shield and eventual MLS Cup champion.
