Sorry for the late post, but technical issues and what not. The Sounders are down south of the Columbia tonight to start their campaign for the the US Open Cup, probably the only title that's still a realistic possibility. As always in the USOC, it's do or die, and the Sounders really need to bring their best, because the Timbers will not be rolling over. Normally, the Sounders would be favored in the matchup, but the way they've been playing recently, I have to say they're underdogs to pretty much anybody.

The lineups on the Reference Card is a best guess. Consider this your game thread.
