The first 24 minutes or so of the Seattle Sounders’ fourth round US Open Cup matchup against the Portland Timbers may never be seen again, thanks to the replay of the YouTube stream beginning only partway through the match. Further, we saw a lineup of mostly Sounders FC 2 players in the 2-1 victory, and many of us are at least somewhat unfamiliar with their play outside of this game. So instead of number rating them by MLS game standards, let’s talk about which players we found exciting and possibly ready to play at a higher level.
