Ahead of the Seattle Sounders’ crucial Western Conference match against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday (6:30 p.m. PT; JOEtv, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360 AM), SoundersFC.com caught up with former MLS defender and current RSL broadcast analyst Brian Dunseth. [NOTE: This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.]
SOUNDERSFC.COM: These two teams look completely different than the last time they met at CenturyLink Field in May, a 1-0 Sounders win. How has RSL changed since then?
DUNSETH: I go back to the coaching change with Mike Petke coming in and replacing Jeff Cassar [in late March].
