Seattle Sounders Vs. Colorado Rapids, Preseason GameThread: This One Doesn't Count Either

in Sounders: MLS Regular Season
Email
Print
First Kick is just a few days away. That game will feature the defending Supporters' Shield winners, the LA Galaxy, and will be showed live on ESPN. It should be an exciting game, packed with pomp, circumstance and actual meaning.
In the meantime, we'll have to settle for one more preseason game as the Seattle Sounders take on the Colorado Rapids in what is being billed as the second annual Community Shield. With this game being between last year's MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup winners, it would be understandable if you assumed this was the start of a new tradition similar to the one in England where the FA Cup and Premier League winners meet in the preseason. There's no indication of that being the case, though, as the first Community Shield was between the Sounders and Portland Timbers in 2010.
More importantly, this is the final chance for players to make an impression on coaches before the season starts. Most of the Sounders' roster spots appear to be spoken for, but there's always a chance that something interesting happens when they play under the lights at Qwest.
If you're not attending the game, you'll have to be satisfied with watching "intermittent action" as KONG broadcasts its season preview show during the game. There is no live stream, at least not from Seattle. The broadcast starts at 6:30 p.m. with a 2010 review.
Starting lineups (courtesy of @JoshuaMayers):
Sounders FC lineup: GK Keller, D Riley, D Hurtado, D Parke, D Gonzalez, M Fernandez, M Alonso, M Evans, M Zakuani, F Montero, F Nkufo.
Colorado Rapids lineup: GK Pickens, D Kimura, D Moor, D Wynne, D Wallace, M Mastroeni, M Larentowicz, M Smith, M Mullan, F Cummings, F Casey
Anyway, this is your gamethread. Enjoy.

Watching him put away Columbus again was awesome. It’ll be weird watching him in Colorado colors tonight. I also loved the Montano highlights from CCL. I hope they reach another loan agreement with Quilmes.
I also love that I'm hearing radio advertising for MLS on ESPN this year

Good God
I’ve been holding out hope they would think of a non-trainwreck way to put the names on (so I could feel good about buying a jersey). But wow, that’s just incredibly stupid. How are the names even legible?
You actually can't really see the straps far away

From Seattle Times game thread:
16’: The opposing teams’ chances again coming off the counterattack and Casey gets behind the defense again. Nearly chips Keller on the shot, but the veteran goalie races a few steps back to track it down.
Not liking this pattern of breakaways recently.

dont know what you guys have seen so far
I know the tv coverage is less than optimal. Im at the stadium. Couple thoughts.
1) Our off ball movement up front is a problem. All 4 when they get up front seem to be stagnate and waiting for long crosses or magic balls over the top. Hopefully that’ll change next half
2) Evans has shown moments of brilliance, but his touches are heavy and he seems reluctant to get forward in attack.
3) Our defense is looking REALLY solid tonight. The back line looks as disciplined as I’ve ever seen out of this team. Nice to have Hurtado back, but I think Leo and James have gotten stronger in the offseason.

I’ll defer to your analysis tomorrow. I’ll be curious to see what you think. I guess with a pretty quiet front line, I wish we had more active attack minded distribution from him out of the midfield. But yes. When he’s come up, he’s shown promise.

I think the bigger point is
that he made a very clumsy challenge after getting beat. The ref will usually point to the spot if you do that.

Not good.
Depends on the exact nature of the injury, but few have a recovery time of less than a month. Many are far longer.

Depends
Tore a hip-flexor once. Doctor’s told me 3-8 weeks recovery time. I was back at it after about 6… but well out of game shape. The phrase “no kicking or sprinting actions” came up numerous times. The silver lining is that strains/tears in the muscle group usually heal very well.
No idea if it isn’t a muscular injury.

What I like about Friberg.
Is he always seems so calm on the ball. Takes his time. In a good way.
In an upset
KONG shows all 2 minutes of stoppage time w/o a commercial.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Finally done with preseason
now to games that matter
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
From this preseason,
My conclusion is the Sounders need tech fit stripes around their hips.
I actually think Adidas has some kind of tight-fitting tech fit shorts...
…with the bands and everything that you can wear under your normal shorts.
Or just make a jock out of duct tape!
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
Yep
i was hoping seattle wouldn’t have any injuries during the pre-season but oh well.
Hopefully none are serious enough to send someone to the IR
We’re deep enough this year to have anyone of those guys out for a game or two to start the season. What we really can’t have is multiple people on the IR for long stretches like last year.
Hopefully
Seattle signs montano(extend the laon) and Rosales quickly
All of the complaining about commercials is lame
When a portion of the ticket sales are going to charity, the Sounders are doing right by the charity to not broadcast the full game for free on television. It’s just glorified practice anyway. Fine by me.

We spent WAY more time complaining about the jerseys
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. We are all around you, there is no escape.
I hadn't thought about it that way
though I do feel like this was more than a glorified practice. Seemed more like a dress rehearsal for the season opener.
Evans out one to three weeks with a hamstring injury
