After a fairly comprehensive home victory over Minnesota United on the weekend, the Seattle Sounders have been rewarded with arguably two of the most difficult road games —both on short rest — in Major League Soccer. Sure, Dallas, Orlando or Real Salt Lake may argue otherwise, but a midweek trip to the swamps of Houston followed by a hike through the Colorado Rockies seems more like an itinerary from the worst travel agent on the planet.
Still, opportunity knocks on this road trip, as the Sounders look to climb their way up the standings in MLS.
