Sounders vs. Sporting KC, lineups: Same as it always was

Both Sounders and Sporting reuse lineups from Decision Day.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That seems to be the philosophy of both Brian Schmetzer and Peter Vermes as the respective head coaches of the Seattle Sounders and Sporting Kansas City will be using starting lineups identical to the ones that got them wins on Decision Day.

The closest thing to a surprise for the Sounders is Brad Evans being on the bench instead of starting. One line of thinking may have been that Cristian Roldan looked very comfortable out wide against Real Salt Lake, helping set up the first goal and scoring the second. It’s also possible that Evans simply isn’t 100 percent as he’s not started in about two months, only coming off the bench twice in the Sounders’ last eight games of the regular season.
