Video of yesterday's preseason match versus the Vancouver Whitecaps. Obviously a preseason game, with some pretty scrappy play, but it's good to see the boys running around again.

One v one Gspurning with Ventrella. The name gets a good laugh. The G is really soft and to pronounce Michael's prefered way it almost sounds like you say: shh poor ning (very quickly). Tony gets it wrong twice...but it sounds like Michael is used to it. This is from the Sounders FC team website

Just a quick and dirty animation of the new logo. All credit for the design, of course, is due to Sumanon.

This video first aired at the End of Year Business Meeting. What a glorius way to get ready for the season.

Obviously an MLS/SUM property. But why should I subscribe and watch and what's the difference between this and what is distributed on MLSsoccer.com.

I'm curious.

Just watched this video posted by Kejsare at Stumptown Footy very interesting. There may not be many opportunities for soccer broadcasts to insert replays and the mechanics of the game due to the continuous nature of the game, but for sure there is a complete lack of it when the opportunity is given. We can’t expect Sports Center or a show of that nature to start talking about the mechanics of soccer. It is necessary that we start demanding the mechanics that Christopher Medley suggests be a part of the broadcasts we already watch.

Ross Fletcher calls Derby County 2007 EPL promotion winning goal

Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson did it again on Monday. He's wearing more Sounders gear 27 seconds in after Guy Fawkes, specifically a blue Clima Polo, on Inside MMA Live. He's sponsored by Xbox and wore a 11/12 Green jersey before his last fight at a presser. Fights out of Parkland, WA per his UFC page. UFC is starting up a Flyweight (125 lb) division by holding a 4 man tournament with the semis on March 2nd, 3rd or 4th in Sydney, Australia. UFC site says the 2nd, MMA Live says the 3rd, MMA Junkie says the 4th, I'm betting there's some confusion with the time zones.

Week late but just got around to watching my DVR.

I am fairly certain that Alex Morgan could start for an MLS team.
