The Seattle Sounders are taking on the Colorado Rapids on Tuesday, July 4, at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo (6 p.m. PT; Q13 FOX, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM). Here are three matchups to watch:
Forward Will Bruin vs. center backs Mike da Fonte and Eric Miller
Last year’s MLS Defender of the Year finalist Axel Sjoberg left Colorado’s U.S. Open Cup match last week with an injury and his status for Tuesday’s game is unclear. If Sjoberg is indeed out, look for Bruin to stretch and exploit the center back pairing of da Fonte and Miller.
