Seattle Sounders 2, Philadelphia Union 1
Seattle continued its strong play with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union thanks to a strong defensive effort from the Sounders back line and goalkeeper Rodney Greiling. Both of Seattle's goals were courtesy of defenders - Michael Gallagher and Ian Lange, respectively. Midfielder Aaron Kovar, a standout for Seattle thus far, delivered an inswinging corner kick that Gallagher redirected with a sharp header for the first goal. Lange then got on the end of a loose ball in the box after another Kovar corner to give Sounders FC a 2-0 halftime lead.
The report on the second half, and stats can be seen here.
It is notable that Seattle now sits tied for first with the Columbus Crew Academy who they face Monday.
| Pos. | Group B |
W | L | T | SO | Pts | GD |
| 1 | Columbus |
1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 5 | +1 |
| Seattle |
1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 5 | +1 | |
| 3 | FC Dallas |
0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | -1 |
| Philadelphia |
0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | -1 |
Group A is toss-up with three teams that could win. Group C will either be Houston or Chivas who face off tomorrow as well. Group D is a three team race for the final day as well. Only the Group winners advance in the tournament.
Here are the linescores for the two matches so far
SEA -- Aaron Kovar 1 (Travis Strawn 1) 12
SEA -- Michael Gallagher 1 (Aaron Kovar 1)
SEA -- Ian Lange 1 (unassisted)
Seattle's keeper (Rodney Geiling) has given up a goal a game, but all indications are that he has been performing better than expected.

Correct me if I"m wrong
But it looks like if a game goes to PKs, the winning team gets two points and the losing team still gets a point?
Because if it's not Love | Then it's the bomb ... | That will bring us together
This is true
Similar to NHL type rules

No
It counts exactly as Jeremiah wrote it
Regulation win = 3
Shootout win = 2
Shootout loss = 1
Regulation loss = 0

I was wondering how the heck
they’d gotten 5 points out of 2 matches.
Is there some large introductory post to our youth development system?
Are there specific players in there that we should be keeping an eye on? Who are our legitimate prospects to be contributing to the club in 3-4 years?
No large post
We just added the category recently, and we will work to fill this out as much as practical.

To start
Four players have recently been called into national camps: Ryan Herman (GK), Sean Okoli (F), Nick Palodichuck (CM) and DeAndre Yedlin (CM).
Palodichuck was a member of the U-17 residency program and is the most decorated of the bunch. Okoli and Herman are down with the U-18’s in Argentina. Yedlin is down with Sounders at SUM cup. There are a couple of other players who have been invited to various camps but I believe those were at much younger ages. Once an official roster is released I’ll post what I know about the other kids.
Oh and
The boys lost to Columbus 1-0. Picture perfect through ball by Akron commit Will Trapp to a streaking forward (dont know his name) for the game winner.
