To be entirely honest, there hasn’t been a whole lot that we’ve learned about the Seattle Sounders during the preseason. The team that takes the field on Saturday for the season opener against FC Cincinnati will look an awful like the one that finished last season on a 15-2-2 run, with the main exceptions being the absence of Osvaldo Alonso and the presence of Jordan Morris.
As such, this preseason was largely seen more as an exercise of getting into shape and avoiding injury. There just weren’t a lot of jobs to be won and lost.
