On the shores of False Creek the Seattle Sounders have the opportunity to continue their charge up the Shield standings, and keep pressure on those chasing them for the Western Conference title. Hosts Vancouver Whitecaps also need to snag points, as they need to hold off the Earthquakes and Salt Lake. It will be a hotly contested match, even ignoring the rivalry.
This 7 PM midweek match is on JOEtv (10/22/110) and is the first of two Cascadia Cup matches in five days for Sounders. Wins in both matches will earn Seattle the rivalry cup.
