Match Day Quick Reference Card, Sounders vs. Revolution

by Jeremiah Oshan on Sep 3, 2010 6:26 PM PDT in Sounders: MLS Regular Season

UPDATE: All fixed!

First a little housekeeping: You'll notice a slight change in the right rail. Instead of having conference standings, we've switched to a single table. The top two teams in each conference are highlighted with a line marking the playoff cutoff. The teams are actually ordered by PPM, but we also have points, records and goal-differential. Hopefully, you will find that more useful than the standard conference standings which requires you to look back and forth to figure out the playoff race.

As for this week's lineups, we're expecting Mike Seamon to get his first MLS start in place of Nathan Sturgis. We're not 100 percent on this, but it sounds like Sturgis' hip injury may at least warrant some caution and with Seamon a capable backup and facing the struggling Revolution, this seems like a good opportunity to get Seamon some time.

The rest of the starters are pretty much what we can expect the team to do whenever it's at full health for the rest of the season.

On the Revolution side, they are without the services of Sainey Nyassi (for the same reason the Sounders are without his twin brother Sanna). We're also expecting Matt Reis to be back in goal after missing a game with a back injury.

There also appears to be good news on the weather front. I just checked the forecast and it appears as if the game will actually be played in clear skies as Hurricane Earl is supposedly going to miss the Foxborough area.

Whats wrong with Montero’s numbers?

On a second look...

It appears you just copied the numbers from last time we played them. Even Ljungberg is on the list. And Keller has only played 14 games.

We'll get that corrected shortly

Single table team order

It appears the teams are still ranked by total points, rather than by PPM. Sounders should be tied for 7th, not in 6th.

Wow

Does the top goal-scorer for NE really only have 5 goals? And I thought our offense was starved for goals.

I’m also loving that we’re 1/7th of MLS’s total attendance, having more than twice the average and more than 4 other teams combined. I’m so proud of my city for supporting this franchise & this sport.

I've been waiting

for Seamon to get an MLS start. I hope he has a good outing if he does play.

NKufo didn't go

and I think Kenny Mansally is with Gambia, too.

You should sneak the weather forecast in the top corner. Just for kicks.

Also didn't Gibbs have a red card last week?

Therefore, he can’t be in the 18.

I’m a little worried about set-pieces, with Perovic’s skill on free kicks and all the big bodies they have to throw around (especially Joseph, who killed us last year), but otherwise I think we should hopefully handle the Revs.
