TUKWILA, Wash. – Coming off their 3-1 defeat to the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Sunday, the Seattle Sounders returned to work on Monday for an overcast morning practice at Starfire Sports in Tukwila.
It was the first of two training sessions for Seattle before the team’s next game, which will see the Sounders hit the road for a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal matchup with the LA Galaxy on Wednesday.
Speaking with reporters following Monday’s session, Sounders forward Herculez Gomez said Wednesday’s USOC fixture affords his side with a golden opportunity on multiple fronts.
