Back in 1999 these two teams were relevant. That was cool for them.

With their rave green and other unappealing colors that nobody would ever wear ever, the Sounders fit into vintage MLS perfectly. If only they were called the Mighty Sound.
In 2012, we’re trying to figure out what to make of both the Sounders and Galaxy. This match won’t be definitive and it may not be particularly insightful, but at the very least we can pretend it is definitive and very insightful.
Pick: Seattle, 2-1.

Pick: San Jose, 3-1.
