Every morning for the past week has felt a bit like Christmas for Jordan Morris. The anticipation, the excitement, the butterflies. Driving from his home in north Seattle past the stadium on the way to Seattle Sounders training at Starfire Sports Complex has been the rough equivalent a child slowly making their way down to the stairs to the tree surrounded by presents.
The only thing that’s been missing is the payoff of opening them. That will happen today when Morris finally suits up and will hopefully get to play when the Sounders face the LA Galaxy.
