A Seattle Sounders Blog

Tonight Seattle faces Western Conference nemesis Salt Lake in preseason action. Again, the results matter less than the process and lessons learned.

Going down three-nil in leg one sucks. It drew tears out of my eyes as Two More Questions was composed (maybe not). If allowed Josie of LAGConfidential to gloat (she didn't). In this round the focus is on moving forward, but it's hard.

Thursday night's fifth and final meeting between the Sounders and RSL will be the only one that either side will remember. No matter the positives and negatives of the past contests it will be Leg Two of the Western Conference Semis in our minds.

f you feel like you just read three questions between these teams, you have. But there is a tiny bit of new stuff and we exchange questions

Sunday's 6 PM ESPN game is Fan Appreciation Day, the penultimate match of the regular season and a chance for the Seattle Sounders to make a late charge up the standings.

Wednesday night's NBC Sports Net (also on KONG in Seattle and Root Sports in rest of Washington) game sees Real Salt Lake come to CenturyLink Field to take on Seattle Sounders FC.

A chat with StumptownFooty to prepare for Sunday's evening match between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers.

And no, we couldn't keep it to three questions. As the Sounders travel to Vancouver we get in the head of a Vancouver blogger to figure out why they are only 2-6-2 in their last ten.
