roger-levesque Stories - Sounder At Heart
Preview: Seattle Sounders FC at Real Salt Lake
Two major trophy winners from 2009 face off in an early test for 2010. Salt Lake was the first of the expansion sides to win the MLS Cup, and Seattle was the first to take the US Open Cup. Both are following a similar path in how to be good, but not just going through typical-for-MLS roster churn,...
Five for Fighting: Battle for a Starting Spot
Roger Levesque has started the past two matches on the Right Wing, and Pat Noonan came on with a decent performance for a man just cut from the Rapids. But the competition for that spot in the starting lineup goes deeper, it goes five deep in fact. There are justifications for each and every one...
Scouting David Estrada
Most Sounders fans know David Estrada was the club's first pick in this year's MLS SuperDraft. With a grand total of seven minutes played, though, it's understandable that you probably don't have much of an opinion of him. After attending Monday's reserve game, I figured it was a good time to share...
Updated Statistics to Include Sounders Reserve Play
Now I know most of you probably just glance past the sidebars, but on the left side you are missing updated Goals, Assists, Clean Sheets, +/-, Points Per 90 and Plus/Minus Per 90 numbers for League Play, and in Reserve/Friendly action you are missing the Goals, Assists and Points. Below is the...
Preview: Sounders host Red Bull New York
Red Bull had a very bad year. Their head coach, sporting director and other personnel people were fired, and they were a team that demands roster churn. The club followed through. Bringing in Backe to coach is a move that Freddie Ljungberg really liked, having previously suggested him for coach of...
Quick Thoughts: Sounders Smash Union 2-0
This is a quick snapshot, based off of my live thoughts of the match. Sounders moved the ball well when attacking. Quick, but under control. Alonso really sparked the ball movement in the back, and while Brad Evans won the Man of the Match I would be tempted to give it to Osvaldo. He was the...
Preview for Match Day One 2010: Sounders Host Union
The dawn of the 2010 MLS season starts at around dusk in Seattle on March 25th. The Seattle Sounders will be defending a US Open Cup, but more than that they will be looking to improve on what was a great first season, but only good if not an expansion side. Hosting the expansion Philadelphia...
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...
After Sounders defeat Stabaek IF what do we know?
We don't know much, but we know that Sounders can now finish with a winning record in the tourney. Maybe even a top 5 finish against Norwegian and Danish sides. That's basically it. Everything else is guessing. I've postulated that there is competition for who will be the starting Right Wing/Mid,...
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...
