Those Feisty Sounders Are Back in Contention

Indeed they are, as suddenly this squad that recently went into a losing skid and had poor performances equaling a grave losing streak, now is looking like its old self and aspiring once again to make another strong stand in all of MLS!

That poorly played games, are in the past and for now the Rave Greens Boss Sigi Schmidt, its time of seeing his aspirations set into another league postseason and possibly this is their time in reaching the league final.

After seeing their all campaign efforts going in vain after always being left in the final of the Western Conference, one that has been denied to the Emerald City squad since their inception in league play.

The airs of winning are back in Century Link Stadium, when the Sounders back to back wins at home in the Cascadia Derby over their I-5 rivals the Portland Timbers and one week later they repeated the dose to a hardened Toronto squad.

Since the return of Oba Martins to the lineup and in today’s match the return of Clint Dempsey, the Seattle lads are looking like their old selves once again and indeed they are the heavy favorites to repeat as the Western Conference finalists.

Suddenly we have a possible final to be played between the Galaxy and the Sounders that will be an attractive ticket in this edition of Major League Soccer as both squads will be coming up with much leveled arsenals.

The win is a revival back at Century Link Stadium, with just seven matches left in the regular schedule, the Sounders have in their sights a couple of not so easy matches with a visit to BC Place and the week after playing a hot Vancouver Whitecaps squad.

As the Canadians are playing one awesome football and touted as heavy favorites to win it all is everything goes in place, the Rave Greens really will have their hands full in those two matches were the Cascadia Cup winner will emerge proudly.

Very well netting those bragging rights in this regions rivalry between them and their southernmost foes in the Portland Timbers- the Sounders will have to focus on tear upcoming matches’ with the LA Galaxy, SKC, Dynamo and Real Salt Lake. 

With their initial eleven almost in its 100%, maybe we can see a new Rave Greens squad’s making like always an all-around statement in superior and top notch football in league play and assure themselves a postseason spot as well bettered their results in their CONCACAF compromises.

At the end the Sounders are back and playing good football and with an upcoming match at Avaya Stadium against a newly revamped San Jose Quakes, the Emerald City Boys are up in arms.

For Manager Sigi Schmidt its back to business and assembling a contender in the last run of the campaign, as well recover that lost ground during their skid they recently experienced, but these Rave Greens will become one hardened and tough squad to beat!
