Sounders v Chivas USA - Gamethread

Nothing says Sunday in Seattle like great weather, some SeaFair events and roast Goat. Tonight's 8 PM match features all of the above and the hope for some fire, tacos and haircuts. To get there Seattle Sounders FC will have to take advantage of Chivas USA's newbs, a left side defense that's pretty weak and a center back that is quite accomplished at beating his own keeper.

Seattle has the opportunity to not just control the midfield, but to control all service. The Goats are better than they were but they still are not good. A weakened Sounders FC should be able to manage the game. Kennedy is a good keeper, but even the best can't stop everything - so show him everything.

Also, Fire.
