It will take a significant change in course for Seattle Sounders FC, but they know what to do to beat this LA Galaxy side. They've done so before and will do so again. With the weakness that LA has today due to suspension and injury there are opportunities within the space between the centerbacks and midfield. Clint Dempsey can drop into that space and succeed. An early strike from distance would put Seattle back into the driver's seat after so many matches coming from behind.
With a huge crowd behind them there is reason to think that Sounders FC can come out hot, fueled by passion. But passion will not provide the defense. That's going to be the duty of whomever starts in goal, Alonso and a backline that will only have one speed threat with which to deal.
