Fellow Sounders, friends,
Coming to CenturyLink tonight is a sentimental journey for me, as I'm sure it has been for many of you. We look to the rafters and see banner upon banner upon banner - Trophies won by great coaches of our past. But nostalgia isn't enough. The challenge is FC Dallas, now. It's time we stopped looking backward at how we got here.
Nostalgia has its time and place. The time and place is now. Right now, the gleeful memories of success can help to power us towards victory tonight.
