Jeremiah Oshan: Back when the schedule came out, we identified May 11-June 5 as the first “tricky” part of the Sounders schedule. I think when most people looked at the schedule, they saw these first six (it was originally seven) games as being the softest portion. The team has handled that about as well as we could have hoped with 16 of a possible 18 points. But truthfully these next four are pretty tricky in their own respect. Over the next couple weeks, the Sounders will play LAFC twice (away and home), host the San Jose Earthquakes (midweek) and visit Minnesota United’s newly opened stadium.
How should the Sounders handle the next four games?
