Brian Schmetzer begins his ninth season leading the Seattle Sounders, who are targeting success in both the MLS and the upcoming Club World Cup. Following a fourth-place finish last season, the Sounders strive for increased performance and have high expectations for trophy contention. Schmetzer highlights the significance of competing against top-tier global clubs, emphasizing the growth of MLS since the Sounders' inception. The season opener against Charlotte FC looms as the Sounders build momentum for their busy schedule ahead, including facing renowned teams in the Club World Cup.
Expectations are always high in Seattle. We made it to the conference final and were eight minutes away from maybe hosting a final while getting into overtime.
I mean, those are great teams. We want to be competitive. If we could get a result, that would be unbelievable.
