Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said the second-year MLS club is looking to be a major player now they have qualified for the play-offs.
The Sounders' 2-1 win over the Kansas City Wizards put them into fourth place on the Western Conference table with two regular season matches remaining and Schmid has big ambitions for the team.
"We want to do more things in the playoffs than just qualify for them. We qualified last year. It is certainly a tremendous accomplishment for our club to qualify for the playoffs in or first two years and to win two Open Cups so far," he told the Seattle Times.
"We have more wins this year than we did last year. We have won four in a row on the road now. Those are all positives. We are not afraid of who we're going to play. Whoever comes our way, we will prepare for them."
