The Sounders have arrived in Buenos Aires and have set a tentative schedule of five 70-minute training games.
The first of those comes Friday morning (11 a.m. there, 5 a.m. here) at Estudiantes La Plata.
Here's the rest of the schedule as provided by the Sounders:
On Saturday (10 a.m. PT) the opposition is CED, a squad comprised of local-based free agents.
Action resumes Monday at Vélez Sarsfield (4:30 A.M. PT) with a visit to Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday (4:30 A.M. PT). The final fixture will be either Wednesday or Thursday against River Plate. The Argentine clubs are expected to field a mixture of starters and reserves.
Joining practice for the first time were Michael Fucito, the fourth-round MLS SuperDraft pick out of Harvard (see blog post below), and invitee Evan Bush, a goalkeeper from the University of Akron.
Players present for the first day of training in Argentina:
Goalkeepers (3): Evan Bush, Chris Eylander, Kasey Keller
Defenders: Evan Brown, Taylor Graham, Patrick Ianni, Jared Karkas, Tyrone Marshall, James Riley, Zach Scott, Nathan Sturgis, Tyson Wahl
