SEATTLE — Whatever one thinks of the Leagues Cup — glorified exhibition, shameless cash grab, corporate synergy run amok — there is a shiny trophy and a trip to Las Vegas on the line. And importantly for Seattle Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer, a chance for his side to test themselves against one of the historic Liga MX powers. Tigres, the five-time Liga MX champions and defending Concacaf Champions League title holders didn’t bring their “A” lineup to the match, but even their reduced side was filled with players who would start for MLS teams. And if a MLS decides not to put out a strong squad, well, things can get ugly.
