Now, after disposing of Columbus in the conference final, they can turn their attention to the West and a familiar foe from Seattle. You might remember the Sounders’ blue and green from the confetti at BMO Field last December, when Seattle won a penalty shootout to claim the MLS Cup. Reds coach Greg Vanney said Saturday that his team “absolutely” wanted a second shot at the Sounders. Centre back Eriq Zavaleta, who got his MLS start with Seattle, is of the same mind. “Obviously Seattle’s the class of the Western Conference,” Vanney said, while noting that the top five team’s in this year’s Supporters’ Shield standings came from the East.
