As the Seattle Sounders look to the weekend’s big Cascadia matchup with the Portland Timbers, they’ve finally had a bit of a breather after a congested schedule the last few weeks. Their win over Real Salt Lake last weekend helped soften the blow of the away losses they had taken from their previous two matches, but preparation for the Timbers goes beyond the morale boost that the win provided. The Sounders have been doing all they can to prepare for the various threats that the Timbers provide, as well as the realization that a lot of the stuff they prepare for can go out the window in these matches.
