Ahead of Sunday's match against Seattle, SportingKC.com caught up with ESPN.com's Jeff Carlisle to preview the Western Conference clash at Children's Mercy Park. Live coverage starts at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, WatchESPN, Sports Radio 810 WHB, and La Grande 1340 AM.
What are your thoughts on Seattle’s recent form heading into this match?
I keep waiting for Seattle to snap out of its funk, but we're 19 games into the season and it still hasn't happened. The big win over FC Dallas seemed to be the turning point but then they turned in a stinker against Portland.
