How about those Rave Greens, after all these squad can be dubbed as the comeback kids, after experiencing their worst losing streak since their inception, the Seattle Sounders almost reached the cellar in their conference.

Now are on the brink of making a run into the conference finals and maybe this can be their year of going to their first ever league final and win those elusive trophies that been denied to the Emerald City squad since their initiation in MLS.

However, with the loss of Clint Deuce Dempsey this campaign, their prayers were answered with the arrival of Boca Juniors midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro and the return of their defensive leader in Roman Torres, uplifting this squad.

Very well seeing a negative turn into a positive and a fighting stand to net their pass into the Western Conference playoffs, at the end of the campaign they saw their prayers answered with a win and a combination of a loss from their Cascadia foes.

Netting their pass into the grand fete of the postseason and not seeing their streak interrupted, as the Sounders never fail to miss.

Seattle Sounders vs Dallas FC: Prediction

Still the Sounders fairy tale after barely winning their knock-out match over Sporting Kansas City, these now they have a date with a tough and all around favorite in the Supporters Shield and US Open Cup winners Dallas FC.

With a dream campaign winning all the silverware in play, the Texas squad is looking forward, to net its first ever MLS Cup since their inception as one of the league original squads, the former Burn is looking to add a foursome to its trophies case at Frisco, Texas.

Nothing is easy and for Oscar Pareja the Dallas Manager, it will not come easy, despite the Sounders successful turnaround, the lack of experience for the Seattle new Boss Brian Schmetzer will be one to take advantage by the big D squad.

Advantage: Dallas FC.
