As if you weren’t counting down the days, tomorrow November 22nd, your Sounders FC are set to host the Colorado Rapids with kickoff set for 7:00 PM. FOX Sports is sending a studio show team to Seattle to cover the highly-anticipated match. Commentator Rob Stone will host studio coverage along with former MLS defender Alexi Lalas live from CLink. Lead play-by play commentating will be done by John Strong and former MLS goalkeeper Brad Friedel and Jairo Moncada and Alvaro Izquierdo will be covering FOX Deportes in Spanish.
