MLS: When Christian Tiffert was signed about a month ago, it was in the hope that the central midfielder could be the piece that unlocked the potential of the Seattle Sounders’ offense.
The early returns suggest that’s just what he’s done. In the roughly 50 minutes he’s been on the field alongside Fredy Montero, Mauro Rosales and Eddie Johnson, the Sounders have scored three goals and been goal-dangerous with alarming regularity. Visiting Chivas USA on Saturday (10:30 pm ET; watch LIVE online), it seems as if the Sounders will give that group a more extended look together.
