SEATTLE — The 2020 MLS season has been a year of seeing familiar faces, with Covid-19 forcing teams to play a limited number of opponents. So it’s fitting in a way that in the last match before a potential meeting with the Columbus Crew — a team with which the Sounders share some notable history — the Sounders would be pitted against the most familiar face of them all.
Ozzie Alonso’s hall of fame history with the Sounders needs more than talking points, but in what has the potential to be his last action in a MLS uniform (though a return next year is hardly out of the question), it would be remiss not to mention his contribution to the league generally, and the Sounders in particular.
