MLS: Ok, so there are two ways to look at the Sounders’ upcoming 2013 season.

The first way is to say, "Either the Supporters’ Shield or MLS Cup will do. One or the other, it doesn’t have to be both. Not that it wouldn’t be nice to have both, but let’s not be greedy. We are but humble, emotionally balanced Sounders fans, after all.” (Seattle Sounders FC, USA Major League Soccer)
