The only two coaches to take the helm of the MLS version of the Seattle Sounders are in town this week. Sigi Schmid is in his second stint with the LA Galaxy and facing an injury crisis. Brian Schmetzer is in his second stint with the Sounders and going on his now annual second half run.

These two teams are competing to host a playoff game and their meetings in the late season could go a long way to determining who gets to travel and who gets to stay home.
