The Sounders preseason actually features some rather tough opponents. While the most of MLS is beating on each other, college teams or the US U-17 squad the Sounders are facing the 7th in League, 2nd in Playoff Vancouver Whitecaps FC (one time still to come). They took on the most storied team in Norwegian history in Rosenborg BK (1st in League, quarterfinals in Cup). Star-divide Then they faced Stabaek IF also of Norway (3rd in League, quarters in Cup). Creative scheduling allowed them to get in a short scrimmage against FC Midtjylland if Denmark (4th in League, out in rd of 32 for Cup). Finally they played against SK Brann also of Norway (5th in League, quarters in Cup). Sigi, Adrian and Chris will be making personnel decisions after seeing matches against decent competition.
