Two of the top defensive teams in the league face off on JOEtv tonight (5 PM). The New York Red Bulls are famous for their press, whereas the Seattle Sounders absorb pressure until the opposition gets about 25 yards out and then build a wall. RBNY is younger and faster, though a poorer passing team, than the struggling Sounders side.
Seattle may have a bit of momentum and their healthy players are the types that can pass around a press rather than run by it. After tonight’s game Sounders get ten days to rest and hope.
