The Seattle Sounders have the tough job ahead of defending the MLS Cup Champions title ahead of them, their journey starting in Houston against the Dynamo. The Dynamo also have a very important season ahead of them. After finishing dead last in the Western Conference and not qualifying for the playoff for the third year in a row, Dynamo fans will be expecting something more.
This is the perfect statement game for both teams. A Houston win would show the rest of the league that the Dynamo mean business and will no longer be the punching bag of the Western Conference.
