TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders finished their last training session Monday afternoon at Starfire Sports Complex, meaning that the long wait before the MLS Cup Playoffs begin is nearly over. The Sounders and Real Salt Lake will be the last teams to officially announce their presence in the tournament, ending a 16-day hiatus from the end of the regular season.
“I think the players are ready, I think the fans are ready and us as coaches are ready too,” head coach Brian Schmetzer said. “This particular international break seems like it’s been a long time. Some good games over the weekend gets you excited.
