Opponent- Seattle Sounders FC
In the middle of the calendar year, a month later NYCFC land a match-up with the defending MLS Champs, the Seattle Sounders.
At the moment, there is nothing necessarily particular with this Sounders squad that draws the eye, expect for their new status. Going up against a defending champion will be a great benchmark for the club, who had dreams of lifting the cup themselves at many points durig 2016.
NYCFC will have to be on it’s toes against Seattle, and Dempsey’s potential return by then will be something to look out for. Watch how Vieira’s boys react and see if they can handle a club that’s coming off a trophy year.
