TUKWILA, Wash. — Outside of the regional rivalry that naturally arises between Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, Sounders matches against the LA Galaxy have often been among the most hotly contested due to both teams’ traditions of success. That rivalry continues Saturday with the two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions.
Chad Marshall is one of the best-equipped Sounders to speak about the ongoing feud with the Galaxy, given his Southern California upbringing, his time in Seattle, and a long career playing under former Seattle head coach and current LA boss Sigi Schmid that dates back to 2006.
