Seattle Sounders At Sporting KC - Gamethread

in Sounders: MLS Regular Season

This is not a trap game. This is a match where the Seattle Sounders are purely an underdog, not just due to MLS parity, but because Sporting Kansas City is a decent team that is great at home. Pile on a run of travel, fixture congestion and a few minor injuries and this game becomes one of those where Seattle may just be happy with a point. The match also features two of the most powerful offenses in Major League Soccer. The SporKCs average 1.41 goals per game (good for 3rd) and the Sounders slightly better at 1.43 (good for 2nd).
KC has recently added a few talents, including Brazilian Designated player Jefferson to compliment previous signing Mexican DP Omar Bravo. In addition to two DPs gracing the beautiful LIVESTRONG Sporting Park they have CJ Sapong who is a Rookie of the Year candidate, All-Star Matt Besler and twitter fave Kei Kamara. Rapidly this Midwestern team has built itself back from the struggles since 2004 both on the field and through strong connections with the community. Most notable of those connections is their membership program. It isn't Democracy in Sports, but the tangible benefits of membership are significant. If there is an example of what the future of the League can be outside of Cascadia it is Sporting KC and it is strong.
The game is KONG 6/16/106 and 97.3FM with Arlo White on the call at 5:30 PM Pacific

I don’t have a warm, fuzzy feeling about this. I really thought we’d see Neagle on the wing.
While Scott was serviceable Wednesday...
His positioning and passing just aren’t up to the task. In a game where we’d like to see the full/wingbacks get help, they won’t see much if the centerbacks are having trouble with their own spacing.
Keller is going to have a lot of work unless Carrasco/Alonso put in a dominant performance.

It looks like Servando's
playing ttackng mid with Ozzie holding. I must admit I didn’t expect Servando there. Maybe Alvaro in the CAM and Servando on a wing.

I'm not so sure it's that our defense
is doing poorly, but that we aren’t holding the ball in the midfield. We will the ball and immediately turn it over again. FRIIIBERRG!!!
I think Seattle looks a bit like SanFranPan

Levesque
has upped his game since getting that starting role. That was a good flick-on, but no runner.
so was the previous pass...
directly to the attacking players of the opposing team.
And just held it too long
leading to the turnover
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
Long-ball, header . . .
to the corner with nobody running onto it was what i saw. I’m not saying he should be our top option, just that he’s doing better now than a month ago.
but then that's just the problem...
…and it’s much the same problem that Jaqua has. Flick-ons are a flashy means of turning the ball over if you lack awareness of your teammates and the ability to direct the ball in their path. It’s the team skill that is most lacking in the absence of Nkufo.
Time check
97.3 stream just had Arlo say 14th min…
Having Alonso in a CAM position is odd
He drops far back like he is playing CDM….we will see how this goes…
I think they're both box-to-box
and it’s making everyone confused.
He hasn't been in a CAM position
Either of the two D Mids will get forward at times, but there’s a hollow place that Montero needs to get into

It's not like there's a track between the field and the seats at CenturyLink
You could maybe fit a dozen rows of seats in CL if you wanted to put people all the way to the touchline. I’ll trade those few rows of seats for 45K additional capacity any day.
It's obvious that Sigi started Scott due to his supreme marking ability
but I feel Scott is unaware of this fact….
by MicahRowe18 on Aug 6, 2011 6:02 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
zach scott took over Brad Evan's place
living in Sigi’s guest house. must be hard for Brad after Sigi adopted him and all.
he got rewarded
…for a solid performance against a diving, physically inferior team that bunkered for the vast majority of the game. Not sure why that would instill confidence.
The defense hasn't been inspiring
confidence in MLS recently either.
Poor streaks aren't more important than talent
nor are hot streaks
Calling if form doesn’t change that it’s really just a streak
I know I’m blaspheming, as soccer seems to think that form is very important
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
I'd like to sea an out-and-out CAM
Put Carrasco out by Kamara and move Alvaro to the middle.
That looked like what he was trying to do
I think he lost track of where he was.
Montero is stopping
every time Mauro wants him to run onto the ball.
agggggh Alvaro.
That's what i was thinking too
But Montero scores goals. I love me some Fucito, but he hasn’t finished well in MLS
I hold Fucito responsible for Hartman's saves
which were world class.
I also blame Mike for getting pulled down on a break away.
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
I think a more practical idea is that Sigi sees a different skill set
only noticing the speed
I am not a Supporter | I am not a Fan | I am a Sounder
Sounder At Heart
Although he hasn't tallied a goal in MLS games
His shots seems to be incredibly well placed, with keepers making some quality saves. He also doesnt seem to be afraid to put shots on frame. I think we kinda need someone out there up front who just constantly is a nuisance to the back line.
alternatively...
Sigi exhibiting favor to hot hands and veteran presences is nothing new or surprising.
I feel like his teammates haven't combined well with him when he's been on the field
If we think of the team as a puzzle, I just think Fucito’s not fitting quite right at the moment. He’s a totally sexy puzzle piece, but might belong to a different puzzle.
Can we be a little more creative and not pound this dog house thing into the ground?
Just because Sigi’s not playing a guy doesn’t mean he has something personal against him.

One half of pretty unattractive soccer
definitely not one of our finest
KC played some pretty ball
It would suck if this match came down to that set piece.
They've been a man down
For most of the game. DeRo still almost got a winner just then.
Just
saw the highlight of that red card that was a really bad stupid tackle by DC’ Goalie.
lucky he didn't break Avila's ankle
or worse. Deserved the send-off and wouldn’t be undeserving of a game tacked on.
I think Sigi should definitely make a halftime sub, we look tired.
I know he won’t though
Parke had as much to do with that
goal as Scott. Both fucked up.
Except for the bit
Where Scott was Kamara’s marker and Parke wasn’t.
That was Carrasco that Kamara broke to

What's the percentage that
Fucito sees 30 minutes tonight? 10%?
Only got to watch the last 10 minutes, have we been looking this cohesive the whole time?
And by cohesive I mean not cohesive
The Next Generation of the KC
Not usually one to complain about Montero
He is not doing much so far. He needs to help Roger and Mauro when they have the ball by moving around and getting open. He seems to be just standing there and watching them lose their dribble to the defender. He needs to give them options to get rid of the ball.
He’s probably gassed after playing nearly 120 minutes Wednesday which begs the question how long until Fucito comes in for him. Fucito has a history with KC. I’d love to see that continue tonight.

I like the idea of Noonan with Fucito
Fucito is a good player for through balls, he hasn’t been getting many through balls (it has seemed to me), and I think Noonan might be up for putting a couple through for Fucito to run on to.

Hard to do sometimes in the heat of battle,

"Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity"
How the hell did Bravo get that close to Noonan in the first place?
Horrible man management by Marrufo to let the red carded player get in the face of the fouled player who is on the ground.
See, the thing is
And I hate to say yhis, but while it was a terrible tackle, there clearly wasn’t that much contact, especially since he was grounded by the time he got to Noonan. So it’s all very well our criticising Bravo for embellishing, but, well, I wouldn’t be doing it too loudly.

Noonan's reaction
Was the reaction of the sort of a player who had been caught by a flying tackle, not a player who got clipped in the ankle by a badly timed flying tackle.
It was a spikes-high, two footed tackle that caught him in the ankle.
He was probably amazed his foot was still attached.
by Aaron Campeau on Aug 6, 2011 7:07 PM PDT up reply actions 2 recs
Except by the time it actually got to him
It wasn’t. Keep telling yourself it was, though, if it helps feed your outrage.
Wait, what?
You’re suggesting Noonan should have kept his feet on the ground on that? Bravo wasn’t going as hard as, say, Mullan went into Zakuani, but he went into Noonan’s ankles in such a way that there was no way Noonan was going to keep his feet without getting injured.
All of which doesn’t excuse in any way Bravo going and putting his finger in Noonan’s face. That in and of itself is yellow card unsportsmanlike conduct.
See above for most of the response, but I’m sure Bravo will get his for his subsequent idiocy, and rightfully so. As for the tackle, it was clearly worthy of a red card, but there wasn’t a great deal of contact and the way Noonan went down you’d think he’d been eviscerated.
Disagree on your interpretation of Noonan's fall
Bravo went into his ankles and he didn’t have anywhere to go. He wasn’t grabbing his face or anything like that.
And at any rate, my initial comment was simply that in no way should Bravo have gotten that close to Noonan in the first place. The referee is asking for a mass brawl by letting a red-carded player touch the player that he fouled.
(That wasn't at you)
(That was me cursing at my laptop)
He was headbutted by Noonan

I’m not sure we’ve earned it.
It's also strting to feel like a loss
We haven’t played well enough to deserve points right now.
It probably didn't hurt them defensively a whole lot
It lowered their chances of tacking on to the lead more than it hurt their chances to keep us at zero.
Neagle's looked
to be our best player since coming on.

kidding me? What a gloriously frustrating game.

Lamar FUCKING Neagle!!!
Awesome or horrid, never in between!
Not sure I agree he's always hot or cold
But I would say that he seems to be at that level where he can be really effective off the bench (against tired legs) and less impressive when he starts the game. Hopefully he continues to up his game.
Boy the Porks must hate us now
And I’m okay with that :)

Death . . . Taxes . . .

Can you imagine how much Kansas City fans hate us at this point? I would almost feel guilty if not for their dirty play.

we
really need to get we break streaks on a two
Perhaps we should name Neagle
“The wizard”. Because that was magical.

We've certainly lost a few games like that (over the last couple seasons)
Nice to see the boys steal one.
Man, that was insane. Omar Bravo thanks for that stupid, stupid tackle. Combine that with Sassano being hurt and all of sudden KC is playing with 9 at the end. And that’s when we strike! I think KC would like to never go to extra time against us ever again. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Boo! Tomorrow AM. I want all things now!
I feel like we stole three points
Man of the Match for me was Neagle. Dangerous with almost every touch.
Loved Arlo asking when will KC learn to play a full 90 minutes against Seattle?

I was surprised that Rosales didn't get subbed out
I’ve got to believe part of it was Mauro being the best attacking player among the starters and the other part being Levesque’s poor play.

unbelievable
not a pretty game but I love the result!

We're KC's "boogie team"
Peter Vermes still has 0 points against Seattle. The way we feel about LA, they must feel about us. I love that we regularly steal a victory from them in the last moments of the game. How evil of us.
Yep
Zero points out of a possible 15. I seem to recall Andy Edwards saying he hates the Sounders because they’ve clinched a playoff spot against KC for the last two years.

What's that sound?
That faint crinkling sound you heard just before the final wistle was the entire press box at Livestrong park throwing away their drafts for game reports.

Luckily they can copy and paste from some earlier Seattle-KC games

We need a mobile rec button
Because this was brilliant.

I want a draw
Also, the Recap is up.
Quick, dirty and fun.

I am able to get this game on comcast mls channel.
I thought they charged extra for these games, currently 1-1 at 59 min.
