An MLS Cup Final, at home, in the concrete confines of CenturyLink Field. The brisk sky and sea breeze could make it cold, but 70,000 or so friends will help warm our hearts as we root for Seattle Sounders FC to win our seventh major trophy. At home.
No longer underdogs, no longer disrespected — all American and Canadian soccer eyes will turn to the upper left where the Sounders have dominated; for decades. Eleven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs. Only one time has the Hanauer-Schmetzer combination missed the second season. Combined they have 10 major trophies and probably a dozen or more minor ones.
