If you are one who lives according to the maxim ‘Go big or go home,’ tomorrow is your jam. There is literally nothing bigger than a road game at Seattle’s Centerlink Field.
The last away team at the CLink was Oscar Pareja’s FC Dallas. FC Dallas, who had already collected the Supports Shield and US Open Cup, and were looking to be the first MLS team to collect a treble. Seattle blew them out of the water, 3-0. There was no hope for FC Dallas on the second leg: the series was already over.
The Rapids must avoid a similar fate in front of maybe 60,000 of the most rabid fans in MLS, or next Sunday in Colorado will be nothing but a goodbye letter to their fans.
