TUKWILA, Wash. — After two days off, the Seattle Sounders returned to training at Starfire on Wednesday, welcomed by the usual intermittent downpours that signal that fall is truly here. The dour weather made for some slick, wet conditions as the Sounders prepared for their match Saturday against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Not that anyone minded the “Seattle Sunshine.”
“It’s coming down to the final parts of the year,” head coach Brian Schmetzer said. “It’s rainy and cold, the way we like it. I sure hope the ‘Seattle Sunshine’ chant is out in full force, and everybody in the ECS is there and they’re enjoying the rain and they’re enjoying a good performance.
