Sounders FC getting ready for the Galaxy, "Landycakes" on Mother's Day

Unbeaten in its last three games overall and owning the second-highest point total in MLS, (4-2-1) Seattle Sounders FC return to play before another sellout crowd for a Mother’s Day game against the Los Angeles Galaxy (1-1-5). Kickoff on the Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field is 12 noon PT.  It is the first of three consecutive games against Western Conference opponents.

Playing his first MLS regular season match in Seattle will be American soccer superstar and scoring talent Landon Donovan, whom fans have somewhat lovingly or derisively nicknamed "Landycakes." (Get your own T-shirt).

 

On Wednesday Los Angeles played to a 2:2 draw in a thriller at Real Salt Lake.

Sounders FC is off to the best start by an MLS expansion team. It is 2-0-1 in its last three games overall, including last  week’s 1-1 road draw at Chicago and a 4-1 home win over Real Salt Lake in a U.S. Open Cup play-in.

Los Angeles Galaxy is undefeated in its last five league matches, and earned its first victory last Saturday, 1-0, over New York, then earned a 2-2 road draw at Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.
