SEATTLE — “I can’t wait to get these [expletives] back in Seattle so we can put 3 or 4 on them.”
Will Bruin was not happy. The Seattle Sounders and Santa Tecla had connecting locker rooms at Estadio Las Delicias in El Salvador for their first leg matchup in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 last week. Santa Tecla had just pulled out a 2-1 victory and were blaring music and celebrating like they had already advanced to the quarterfinals.
“We just kind of took it in and said, ‘All right, they still have to come to Seattle, so we’ll see how that goes,’” said Bruin.
