It’s going to be a challenge for Brian to insert JP and Obed into the team that played together last year, with the first matches being so so big. I’m extra glad we kept Brian, because it would be even more of a challenge for a new coach to take on a team heading into the CWC. If the Sounders win the quarterfinal, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the semifinal will be The Biggest Match in MLS History, and the team will need everything it can get.

yeah, I think Obed will probably benefit from not being rushed onto field, though.
