TUKWILA, Wash. – For the Seattle Sounders, the challenge over the next few days is keeping things normal during a week where nothing is normal at all.
This is, of course, MLS Cup week – with Seattle earning the right to host the league’s championship match at CenturyLink Field with their epic road upset of LAFC in last Tuesday’s Western Conference Final in Los Angeles.
It worked out about as well as possible for the Sounders when Toronto FC notched its own road upset of Atlanta United in the Eastern Conference bracket, sending them through to the final and cementing CenturyLink as the host venue.
