Just three days after beginning their MLS is Back journey, the Seattle Sounders are back on the field with the earliest kickoff in franchise history. The Sounders will kick off against the Chicago Fire at 9 AM local time (that’s 6 AM for those of you on the West Coast), who are playing their first match in four months.
As luck would have it, the Fire are one of the few teams the Sounders have played this year. In both teams’ season openers way back in March, the Fire were the better team for much of the first half and eventually grabbed a 1-0 lead on an early second-half goal.
