The Seattle Sounders have their work cut out for them when they visit StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., on Sunday for a match against their Western Conference rivals the LA Galaxy (1 p.m. PT; ESPN, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM).
LA may be 2-4-0 on the young season, but Seattle has only won at LA twice in 10 attempts and is coming off a disappointing 2-1 road loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps last Friday. Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and Steven Gerrard may be gone, but LA has responded by signing longtime United States international midfielder Jermaine Jones and talented French winger Romain Alessandrini.
