The Sounders nearly ran the visiting Colorado Rapids off the field this past weekend by setting a blistering pace the game's opening 15 minutes. Coach Brian Schmetzer and company hope to replicate that in Chicago this weekend, but face a stiffer challenge successfully doing so on the road
The scientific verdict is in: the Sounders really did try to blow the Colorado Rapids off the field to start last Saturday’s game.
It sure looked that way as they scored twice in the first eight minutes, then enjoyed a plethora of additional chances by the 15thminute of the match.
