TUKWILA, Wash. – With a win under their belt, the Seattle Sounders’ Wednesday training session at Starfire Sports seemed to be reflecting higher spirits thanks to the twin joys of victory and good weather. The mood was noticeably lighter and players were even laughing during drills as they underwent their first practice of the week. Head coach Brian Schmetzer described the day as light work ahead of several more days of serious preparation for the club’s upcoming road trip to Los Angeles FC for the first-ever match and Banc of California Stadium.
“It’s crazy how emotions can run high when you’re not winning and not scoring,” Sounders forward Will Bruin said.
