TUKWILA — Can we talk about all the running in soccer?
One of the cool things about watching the sport is the omission of commercial breaks … err, timeouts. That, however, means that when the Sounders host FC Dallas on Wednesday night, for at least 45 minutes per half, a majority of the players will be in constant motion.
Running up and down the approximate 120-yard length of the field.
Running over and back the approximate 75-yard width of most field.
Running without a designated water break — unless the temperature reaches 82 degrees or higher, according to MLS rules.
