TUKWILA — The Sounders are riding a high from a two-match winning streak, which not only earned them the Cascadia Cup with a win over Portland, but also a second-place ranking in the Western Conference with Sunday’s win over the LA Galaxy.
That’s a positive feeling to hold onto as the Sounders (13-8-7) prepare to play the Colorado Rapids (8-14-6) on the road at 6 p.m. Saturday in a game that was rescheduled due to inclement weather and now falls during the FIFA international break. Seattle will be without 10 players due to national team call-ups and faces a different Rapids team under new coach Robin Fraser.
