Anticipation tastes sweet. Tuesday night the Seattel Sounders welcome FC Cincinnati to Lumen Field. For the first time in six years, I get to see the Sounders play in person. As I prepared to board my flight from Cincinnati, I couldn’t stop fidgeting. I was coming home. A Sounders scarf draped across my shoulders, I wore my affiliation with pride. This club beats through my heart.
This 2022 MLS season stutters along and the Sounders’ playoff appearance hangs perilously over the abyss. Hope requires a win this week and yet the roster for Tuesday will dive deep into the team’s depth.
