UpDATE: Here's the now updated lineup.
I still haven't seen a lineup, but apparently Miguel Montano is dressing.
In the meantime, here's a link to an interesting video about our-soon-to-be-own Blaise N'Kufo. I think it's in Dutch, but he does the interview in English.

The Scott Stapp "Marlins" song was just played over the PA
But it was tailored to the Sounders. Made me laugh

Nice service on corner
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Schelloto's age really shows in that shirt
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Great, great play
Vagenas great touch, Ljungberg great touch, Zak awesome move
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Zak stayed calm and collected the entire time.
Great poise.
And Montero even took a hit
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
That was not a great pass by Vagenas
Geez, that was awful cross
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Awesome touch by Fredy
Not a great finish
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
How does he not finish that?
Really what a shame
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Those defenders can not keep up with Zak
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
I'd say even better than TFC
Much more offensive

Great defense too
Really haven’t had many strong chances against

Great passing
Man, I am loving this
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together

Yes
Zakuani on a one-on-one

sweet. thanks!
Zak is our most dangerous player right now. I’m loving how he is stepping up his game over last year

Ljungberg had a very similar play
And culdn’t put it awya

When beckham was redcarded for his studs up tackle on him....
The brits were laughing about Vag-en-as
Well, the "g" is a 'y'
If you’re listening to Arlo, I’m assuming he pronounces it with a hard “g” because he’s british and that’s how they do

Leo's gotta make that run
If he’s in the attack, he has to act like it
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Most aggressive Sounders we've seen
They are all over the place today
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
First we've seen of Lenhart. and he does nothing
Co-Captain of Green Street Elite
As a bearded man
I am offended by that abomination on Danny O’Rourke’s face
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
CLB has to take out Hejduk at halftime
He is getting absolutely abused by Zak
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Columbus almost looks afraid when Zak has the ball
As they should
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:08 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Nice play by Iro
To keep that ball away from Montero
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
CBUS has the all bad-hair team
Too bad Padula is out
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Nice thought by Montero
Good defense
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Best 35 minutes of soccer we've seen
Hands down.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
He's had a couple today

OK, the misses are in Evans' head
He should take that on goal. he’s looked great otherwise, but he needs to keep shooting.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
OK, that hurts
I had a bad feeling about those. I guess that’s why Ianni doesn’t always start?
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Makes sense
Lost his mark in the box and looked terrible there.
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:25 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I think he's played well
But he got abused there. Never had a chance.

Hes been fine
Two mistakes where he lost his mark and one cost him dearly
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:28 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
He can't match up with Hair
It’s a shame, maybe this was the wrong game to give him a shot.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:29 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think I could blame just Ianni
Leo over-committed to allow the cross in the first place. And we had four defenders to their two attackers in the box. Hair made a good run.
I'm not saying it was all his fault
But he definitely could not match up with him once it was one-on-one.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions
He was on the wrong side of him, definitely.
But I think he’d match up fine most of the time.
Ianni made a couple mistakes in his early starts last year, and then was solid the rest of the way.
I’ll let him have this one this year.
But for me, he is our centerback of the future.
His only weakness, from what I can tell
Is that he’s susceptible to guys like Hair — physical dudes with size. Otherwise, I think he’s great.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Those golden locks would throw me off
He is getting abused, but he’s also better than this
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:32 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
amazing how much we outplayed them
And for us to go into the half tied is pretty bad. Man…
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Theyre watering the field turf
Color me confused
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:27 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Seriously, did we forget to tell them the grass isnt real?
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 8:29 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Maybe they're thrown off because this is the first dry game we've had

the faster th epitch is, the better is is for us.
aren’t we one of the speediest teams in the league?
Looked like it in the first half
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions
Man, I'm amazed how bad that felt
This is very similar to the feeling after the Dallas goal. Man. Am I crazy, or did we just play 45 minutes of the best soccer we’ve played all year, and yet we’re tied. Doesn’t seem right. Missed opportunities and Ianni was exposed as not being able to match up physically. Have to imagine there will be a change there.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Evans needs to score
He may make the best runs into the box of anyone on our team. He just has trouble with the one touch shot.
I actually feel bad
He deserves to score, and I don’t normally say crap like that.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Shame about the goal.
It will give Columbus a boost, and it put a huge damper on our best playing of the season.
OK, so I'm not crazy, right?
I can’t believe how excited I’ve been about this first half.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 8:39 PM PDT up reply actions
It might be the best I've EVER seen them play.
Too bad I sold my tickets to this one.
OK, back to hyperfocusing on the TV screen.
Well, Ianni's out there
Actually, I’m glad Sigi isn’t so reactionary
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
I want to see Montero do that more
Off the post, wow. Fredy’s actually working together is beautiful
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Ianni has made a couple nice plays this half
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Two quality corners from Freddie
For whatever reason, he’s looked sharper today
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Bullshit
Sorry, no way he’s off
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Let Fredy take it ... Yes. Good call
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Fredain working together again
It really is a sight to see
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Ianni had a chance
I really thought he had that
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
What crap
That is ridiculous if thi sis a foul
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
That guy is dangerous on corners
Really not much to look at, but Hair is really scary on set piees.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Is it better than not getting on goal
I’m starting to wonder
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Keller saved Riley there
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Montero has been much more active today
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
They haven't attacked down the left as much this half
Which is too bad
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Been a very different second half
Columbus has obviously made some adjustments
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Oh man
This is either going to be a great win or the most frustrating loss of the seaosn. Yes, more than Dallas.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
man, i better mean tie
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together

Great control, though
Unfortunately, this game is full of caveats

Worst call than Cunningham
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Didn't deserve a tie
So thoroughly outplayed. Played well. Hit two posts. Had a goal waved off from a phantom penalty. What else do you say?
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Should have scored more in the first half
when we dominated.
Second half, after conceding just before, was much more of a slog.
If Nyassi doesn’t pull on Iro he heads that away and Montero never gets it. A fair call, I think.
More of the same. Instead of “No goals at home,” they’ll be bemoaning our tendency to tie at home. I bemoan it, too.
Don't forget the Hayduck takedown
Ughh, I really am getting sick of this
Nyassi 145; Iro 205
Dive much?
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
Again lack of finishing cost Seattle another win. Well at least Seattle’s possession was better. But still I’m sick of the lack of finishing.
I can't blame Sounders
You hit two posts. This is bad luck. They played their best game of the year.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
by Jeremiah Oshan on May 1, 2010 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh I’m not blaming the team for that sure. I agree that they played the best but I’m just getting tired of them unable to finish thou.
It is frustrating
Should have been 4-1, at least. And that’s not even finishing all their chances.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together

So inconsistent
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that call at the end.
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together

There was a scrum with visible shoving and nobody gets cautioned
There were missed calls everywhere and Salazar lost control of the match.
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 9:37 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Nevermind the miss calls I’m still wondering how the heck Crew weren’t down additional guy on fouls that Salazar did call.
This too
And its not bad that bothers me as much as inconsistent
by Brian Floyd on May 1, 2010 9:41 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Game wrap is up
If you’d like to move the conversation there
