When the Seattle Sounders square off against FC Dallas on Saturday in Frisco, Texas (5:00 p.m. PT; JOEtv, YouTube TV, KJR 950 AM, EL REY 1360 AM), they’ll be without the services of midfield maestro Nicolás Lodeiro, who is serving a one-match suspension due to yellow-card accumulation.
A dynamic, all-action No. 10, it’s difficult to adequately describe all of the qualities Lodeiro brings to the Rave Green. The Uruguayan loves to have the ball at his feet, often leading the team in touches and pass attempts, but he also possesses elite vision and technique, surgically dissecting opponents with a single pass.
