Three Questions: Sounders at Union

Sounder at Heart: The Union are currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, just where everyone had them in their predictions this preseason. What’s been the key to their success?

The Brotherly Game: Everyone picked them to be second? I don’t remember that. Most folks here were saying somewhere between 7 and 4, so I would say they have exceeded expectations so far. The key to their success has been how they’ve overcome adversity and bought into the “next man up” mentality. That they are off to the start they’ve had with only limited returns from their two biggest offseason signings (Fabian and Santos) has been something to behold.
