Seattle started the season with a win against Kansas City after a late goal in extra time to get the win against the defending MLS Cup champs and then after that they lost to Toronto and then won against Montreal before falling against the Crew at home. The team pulled a draw with the Timbers and have now won two in a row and after playing the next three at home the team visits New England and then plays against San Jose and the Vancouver Whitecaps. Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said that his team is ready to play and that things have been taking a positive turn over the past two games and they are on a verge of a nice roll.
The coach also came out against the MLS playing games during the World Cup, as the teams and their players were expecting to have off during the two week event. The coach made his comments about the US Open Cup and while he said that he supports a competition like that, scheduling it during the World Cup when players and the teams were supposed to have off is a mistake. The World Cup runs from June 12-24 and one top of that, many of the best players in the league will be participating.
