US Soccer snubs Seattle for World Cup qualifiers

As World Cup Qualifying closes up in October, Seattle may very well provide US Soccer’s starting forward tandem, a midfielder, and a reserve defender, in addition to former Sounder, DeAndre Yedlin. Seattle won’t provide a home though for one of the final Hex matches. Seattle lost out on hosting September’s match against Costa Rica and the final home Hex match in October against Panama.

US Soccer awarded Red Bull Arena the Costa Rica match and Orlando City’s new stadium the Panama match instead of CenturyLink field. Orlando City Stadium is a brand new work-of-art that makes perfect sense to grab a Hex match at.
