PREKRAP: Atlanta United at Seattle Sounders - the result might be the least important in this matchup

This is Brian Schmetzer:

Upon first glance it does not seem like he should be good at anything to do with soccer. It seems like he should be bad. Like he was either a lacrosse player who graduated college and decided to manage soccer teams or was just doing this to pass time between tax seasons to supplement his income as a CPA.

This is wrong. Brian Schmetzer is the least American of all American soccer coaches. As opposed to coaches who wasted their talent by going to college so they could have a job as a financial advisor if soccer didn’t work out, Schmetzer wisely spent his youth trying to get the job he wanted: soccer player.
