patrick-ianni Stories - Sounder At Heart
Today's Episode of Small Sample Size Theater
Sometimes the statistics mean nothing, but still make you smile. Like Ianni having a Plus/Minus per 90 Minutes of 90, or Fucito having a Points Per 90 of 9.00. But they still make me smile.Tomorrow is a Reserve Game and I hope to update the sidebars after that, but today here are the current...
Once, Twice, Three Times a Soccer Party
After last nights two amazing events scheduled around the US MNT's "performance" you'd think you are done with soccer parties this week. You would be wrong. You may have heard that Jose Romero is leaving the Seattle TImes, and in fact leaving the state. He has decided to host a gathering where he...
Unloved Rotationals: Vagenas and Ianni
The first two rotationals were loved companions from an old club in a minor league. The French Connection was the Sounders connection between old and new. One has been taken from us. But these two are a Peter and a Patrick. One constantly derided on forums, and the other seen as surprisingly...
Tradition Doesn't Win
DC United proudly display the word "tradition" on their back collars. There isn't another MLS club that could do so. They have earned it. There was an idea that they carry 12 trophies means that they deserve the 13th and that expansion franchises will never deserve respect propagated on the net,...
In Victoria this weekend
It is my 6 year anniversary, and so my wife and I took a trip out of town. I will do my best to watch the Galaxy match, but it certainly isn't as big a priority as celebrating us. I will be having a few fine local brews, and hope to share that with you. It looks like while I was riding the...
Sometimes the referees screw the other guys
Three points against the league leaders. Destiny in the hands of the Rave Green. A match where the depth of each side was tested, and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has followed this league for more than a few months that the two clubs at the top of the table right now likely have the...
Futbol. Football. Soccer. SSFC
The color is Rave Green, the direction is North and West. Some quick thoughts directly after the match. Sounders did what they needed to against Houston today in winning the three points, but more importantly played that brand of soccer we love, it certainly involved risk and hit the SSFC with a...
Missed Opportunity
Three matches in eight days starts to wear on fans, on media, but mostly on players. The effect on this team was not fully apparent, as there was plenty of energy in a lineup that saw a few changes, but those changes were not what determined this outcome. Most often followers of a club would be...
Going back to Cali
This will be a game where both teams strive for a full three points for the first time in weeks. Chivas hasn't won since May 9th (only three matches for two points) and Seattle doesn't have a win in league play since April 25th (five matches for five points). Both teams will be down a few...
Site update - Stats and Schedule
So as I was going about updating my statistical tables, and the Sounders FC league schedule, I learned something. While the second set of 10 matches is mainly at home, there is a small problem. While opponents up to this point have earned 1.26 points per match, the 2nd 10 (that includes the Crew)...
