Coach’s Take

“We are really looking forward to the matches this weekend. Both teams play in very meaningful games, one against an MLS opponent, on the road. The stress of these games is a fine opportunity for the players and teams to continue to grow.” – Sounders FC Academy Technical Director Marc Nicholls
