The Big Bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew the first two houses down, but the third one held strong. If Leagues Cup and U.S. Open Cup were Houses One and Two, the MLS Playoffs represent House Number Three.
Tonight we begin with the Seattle Sounders version of the Big Bad Wolf – because that’s who’s blown their championship hopes down twice already this season. A four-letter acronym worse than some four-letter words: LAFC.Frankly, maybe we should take a breath to enjoy the fact that the Sounders advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals for the the 14th time in their 16 year MLS history, a stunning nod to the franchise’s overall consistency and commitment to excellence.
And yet one side in Seattle that is clearly hungrier to end an embarrassing stretch against the other team.If the Sounders were to shock the world and win their first MLS Cup in five seasons, it would be fitting to take down top-seeded LAFC on the road, the same way they surprised the top-seed in the conference finals in 2019. And it would be poetic justice to do so after failing to beat a team that’s been such an Achilles heel for Seattle for close to 13-hundred days.
