brad-evans Stories - Sounder At Heart
Quick Review: Sounders beat Red Bulls 1-0
Call it the redemption of Fred Montero, or call it the redemption of Brad Evans. Either way, this was as big of a win as a team can get in the ninth match of the season. The Sounders went to Red Bull Arena and pretty much dominated play, at least from my standpoint in a crowded bar. Seattle had the...
Brad Evans: Unfairly maligned
Brad Evans has been on quite a roller-coaster ride during the season's first seven games. It started off great when he scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in the first match of the season. Over the next two weeks, though, his season took a dramatic turn for the worst when his marks...
A calmer look at Saturday's tie
Almost 12 hours removed from a game I called the most frustrating result of the season, and after watching the match's highlights, I think it's a little easier to feel OK about dominating the defending Supporter's Shield winners and having to settle for a tie. Not happy, not satisfied, but OK. (As...
Ref: Evans got 'unfair advantage' on goal
I'm not sure I would go as far as saying Paul Tambernio, the U.S. Director of Referee Development, is saying the deciding goal in Saturday's game shouldn't have been allowed, but in this week's roundup of MLS games he does acknowledge that all was not as it should have been. "We feel that the...
Statistics Update, Battle for Depth in Sounders Rotation
So we know the record of the team (4 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw including the two "reserve" matches). It isn't great, nor does it suck. Over a 30 game season it would mean a MUCH worse defense, a slightly better offense and 48 points on the table. But MLSpreseason isn't about records, is any...
Wahl Re-signs - Sounders Roster Battle gets Fierce
With the announcement of who is traveling, who is staying, who is back at school, and who is injured the re-signing of Tyson Wahl via "free agency" complicates things a little bit. It means the club has 21 on the Senior Roster and 2 on the Developmental Roster. Now if one assumes that the roster...
Brad Evans - Club Midfielder and National Back
Brad Evans offers an enigma. He may be more valuable to the US National Team than he is to his club. Certainly, the young midfielder has value to the club, particularly once he settled back to a box-to-box midfield role inside Sigi's Arrow, but for long stretches his role was unknown. While with...
... if this is a dream I want to stay asleep - update
That line is from Sigi Schmid, but I think it relates to so many of us after this first season. I know it personally feels that way. Last night, with all of the pomp, with the win, it was one of my favorite days of my young life that didn't involve family (yes, my wedding was better). The team...
Keys to Sounders at Wizards - small update
Everyone that reads this site knows how important this match is for the Sounders and their ability to make the MLS Cup Playoffs. It is even more important for Kansas City, would be eliminated with a loss. KC was so poor early in the season that they fired their coach, and it hasn't really gotten...
Sounders stats for the next two weeks
Sounders have another off-week. A week in which they will be watching scoreboards and working on tactics. Probably the biggest decision will be who to start as the other Forward with Montero, who to put on the Right Wing and followed by how to use the Central Midfielders. These decisions have...
