What will happen when a bad offense faces a bad defense? That’s the key question to be answered on Saturday, when the Seattle Sounders host Real Salt Lake (2:00 PM, JOEtv). Neither side is living up to preseason punditry and it is possible that the home-and-home series over the next week finishes off the hopes of one of the sides.
Seattle will be without three players attempting to make World Cup rosters — Nicolas Lodeiro, Gustav Svensson and Roman Torres. Injuries are still a major concern as well.
