Seattle Sounders FC 2 return to USL play after ostensibly, and successfully, deputizing for the First Team in the US Open Cup. Though the team they faced was an MLS side in name only, hopefully the victory over the Portland Timbers will provide S2 with the confidence to kickstart a second half of the season run up the table. Felix Chenkam looks set to return to USL play after missing more than a month with injury. Irvin Parra and Javorn Stevens have done a good job in his absence but Chenkam’s positioning and constant pressing really brings S2’s formation into balance when he is up top.
