Saari, Chenkam prove themselves Mudders in Sacramento

When playing in or watching the USL one occasionally runs into a match that isn’t quite soccer. Seattle Sounders FC 2 ran in to such a match at the Sacramento Republic FC over the weekend. After a couple of inches of rain in the previous days, the field was on the edge of being safe enough for professional soccer. Players from both sides struggled to keep their footing, with several slips nearly causing injury, and large patches of mud and standing water were visible all over the field. To make things worse, the contest was overseen by a referee who was simply not good enough on the night.
