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...
The "New" Formation - Three Forwards
Saturday night, if you watched at home or listened on the radio you heard many mentions of the new 4-3-3 that Sigi rolled out in order to get a bit more offense, and to try and get better passing from the Seattle side. This "new" formation put Zakuani, Montero and Evans in a band of three at the...
Keys to Game: Crew at Seattle
Columbus continues to be one of the best teams in the league. A trend that started three seasons ago under Sigi, and has continued as they retain almost all of their key players, and all coaches not named Sigi. With such light turnover leading them to two Supporter Shields, an MLS Cup and a 2010...
Fredy's Fabulous Free Kick Gets Rewarded
Remember Montero's 41 yard blast? Back when we thought that a win could be had in Dallas? Before the performance in Toronto, or the friendly announcments. Montero won theGoal of the Week. The Colombian’s stunning free kick from 40 yards against FC Dallas last Thursday night earned him 43...
Quick Review: Terry Vaughn had 3 Assists in Sounders 2-2 Draw at Dallas
I like to blog about tactics. I like to blog about players. I like to blog about the game. Very rarely do I blog about referees. Tonight, in this thread I will. But still not much. We'll break the game itself down more later, but for now, let's just note that the referee should be given an assist...
Montero not Leaving Yet
You probably have picked up some rumblings that Fredy Montero has drawn interest from CSKA Moskow. The original posting is at Colombia.com. MLS-Rumors has posted a translation. There it mentions Fred[y]Montero, currently on the squad of Seattle Sounders in MLS, told Radio Caracol he is "expected...
Quick Review: Sounders 2 - Salt Lake 2
I promised Steve Clare that I would do the player ratings at his site for this match, and those will be up later today or tomorrow, as I will be watching this match again. But as I tended to focus on the individual performances while trying to host a party and a gamethread on occaission, there were...
Review: Sounders lose to Red Bull 1-Nil
MLS classifies every goal scored into the following categories - Open Play, Cross, Rebound, Own Goal and four types of set-play - the Corner, the Penalty, the Direct Kick and the Indirect. About 22% of all goals came from what could broadly be labeled Set-Plays. Seattle, last year, was actually a...
Was the Second Goal from a Corner?
Sometimes when tracking a game, no matter how stiff the definitions a play comes down to the judgement of the official scorekeeper. Baseball fans are all too familiar with this, as there is actually a time period when the official stats can change. Well, we get to see one of those cases from just...
Rhyme or Reason behind the Lineups in the loss to Rosenborg?
I like to talk in the terms of Starters, Rotationals, Subs and Reserves. These days though those final two sections are really just Trialists. The depth chart is in flux, and so Sigi had to choose a lineup that he hoped could win, but at the same point the Sounders are trying to figure out a few...
