Up Is Down. Dogs Live With Cats. Boss Leads Sounders FC Over Monterrey In Mexico
Imagine, if you will, a meticulously tended field of grass carved into the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains in the northeast of Mexico. It is home to the champions in the sport of soccer for all the lands from the far tundra of Nunavut to the sweltering jungles of Guyana — a...
Why Tod Leiweke's hire is important to Tampa Bay Lightning fans
It's official. The Tampa Bay Lightning now have a new CEO - and part co-owner. Don't let that last part upset you, however. Tod Leiweke is an established hockey guy, despite coming to the Lightning by way of Seattle/Portland (Ore.). And remember, he was hired by the same guy who hired Steve...
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...
Gamethread, Sounders at New York, Match 9
UPDATE: The lineup card is now correct. Looks like Evans gets the start at the top of Sigi's arrow, Sanna Nyassi gets the nod at right wing and Patrick Ianni starts alongside Peter Vagenas in the central midfield. Miguel Montano's injury looks like it may have been worse than we thought, as he's...
Hope rears its head in Tukwila
Practice went a little longer than usual Tuesday, a not-so-subtle message from coach Sigi Schmid that performances like Saturday's 4-0 loss are not acceptable. Another not-so-subtle message from the training session: The presence of Nate Jaqua and Blaise N'Kufo, and what those two players can do to...
Just when it seemed darkest...
Tuesday's Sounders training session is shaping up to be quite an affair. Not only will Nate Jaqua make his long anticipated return to the field -- doing light training -- but can't-get-here-soon-enough striker Blaise N'Kufo will be on hand fresh off his Dutch League title winning campaign. Both...
Quick Review: Sounders fall 4-0 to Galaxy
UPDATE: Quotes are here. With a score like that, it seems foolhardy to bother looking for positives. Sure, the Sounders probably had the better run of play in the first half, but they were once again unable to finish any of their opportunities. It's impossible to say how this game would have been...
LAG vs. SSFC match day quick reference card
Just a few notes on our lineups: We have Landon Donovan pushed a little farther up the field, almost like a forward. Whether he's on the right or left is really anyone's guess since he's been moving around all year. He's usually on the same side as Juninho. It looks like LAG will roll with the same...
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...
In a season of frustrating results, this was worst
The tie at Dallas FC seemed wrong, but really only because of one play. The tie at Real Salt Lake was frustrating for the same reason. You might even say there were frustrating aspects about the loss at Toronto. Today's tie was easily the worst, though. It was 45 minutes of excruciating...
