Everyone knows about Michael Jordan's flu game, but did you know Jordan Morris had one too, like, a few hours ago?
It's true. Morris, battling the flu, scored the only goal in Seattle's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids Sunday in Colorado.
What a finish from @JmoSmooth13! A MASSIVE away goal for @SoundersFC. #COLvSEA https://t.co/6PVqIW6QMH

The Sounders' victory (3-1 aggregate) puts them in their first-ever MLS Cup final. They're here because they have two of the most dangerous attacking players in the league: Nicolas Lodeiro (who we talked about after the first leg) and Morris, who was named this season's MLS Rookie of the Year.
His play (and the fact that he kind of loks like he might be Superman) has earned him the fan-dom of Saturday Night Live's Leslie Jones, which we think is the greatest reward of all.
Wait is the announcer complaining about @JmoSmooth13 not having a left foot?! Shut the FUCK up! You not out there &he is the one who scored!
