Sigi Schmid's final pre-game video indicates that Alonso is back and that's a good thing.

As the Sounders prepare to take on Sporting KC this Wednesday, I thought I'd share this... A few months ago, a Sporting KC fan was kind enough to post a video of the shootout from the USOC final. If you can bear to watch it again, make sure you pause at both 5:44 and 6:44 and compare. Both keepers were equally off their lines when they made the saves. Ricardo Salazar gifted the cup to KC. Also, technically last year's USOC final goes down as a game that ended in a tie. A penalty shootout followed afterward to decide a cup winner. Bottom line, Seattle is still undefeated in Sporting Park. That won't change on Wednesday.

Sigi Schmid says that Eddie is back and Oba may be back soon.
