Seattle meets Vancouver in a two-match set with Clint Dempsey missing one game and Jordan Morris both
A year ago, the Sounders opened what would be a run to their first MLS Cup championship minus star forward Clint Dempsey.
This year, they’ll open Sunday in Vancouver without Dempsey as well, as he serves a one-game suspension for a red card. But they’ll also be without star forward Jordan Morris, whose hamstring injury likely will cause him to miss the full Western Conference semifinal round against the Whitecaps.
The difference this time is the Sounders hope they’ve found greater depth than they had even in their 2016 championship performance.
