Under the Klieg lights: Zach Scott v Union (Updated with Photo)
First a quick word on what a Klieg light is. They are an intensely bright carbon arc light that can make night into day and have were used in theater and film for just over a century. Their bright glare is also a bit reminiscent of the lights used in interrogation. Back in my KJR days, Locke and...
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...
Leo Gonzalez - Answering the Left Back Dilemma
When the season started we were all surprised that Zach Scott was the starting left back. A role and position that he had clearly earned, and every match he answered that call. He was gritty and determined, a strong defensive presence and not quite what Sigi wanted. Coach tried Nate Sturgis there...
Scouting Matters
And even more so in a Salary/Roster cap league. Mistakes cost more in MLS, a bad pick wastes money and a roster slot. For MLS the ability to scout talent from college, from the lower US divisions and internationally is the ability to discover players and get them at value. It is the ability to...
Rest of the Reserves - Graham, Scott, Sturgis, King
Now we start entering the realm of players with playing time. Of guys that may have value to other clubs in trade, and quite possibly seeing the guy that Philadelphia takes in the Expansion Draft later this month. This collection of players are in two sets. The first set are two USL Sounders, and...
US Open Cup Final - filling holes
Hurtado is out due to his Card situation. Now today we find out that Marshall and Graham are out as well. So the Sounders in their quest for their first Cup in year one MLS have a significant situation. Three of their four CB are out, the central midfield has passing issues and the Interchange is...
Lessons from Barcelona
I didn't expect to write anything from the Barcelona match. It was a friendly, which to me screams exhibition with a bigger price tag. But I think we actually learned a little bit about the Sounders and Sigi last night. Sure the crowd set a record, sure we saw Lionel Messi work his magic, but to...
Your team wears Green - quit looking at the referees
That's the message right there. The team expects the game to be called a certain way, and clearly to this point it is not. Throughout the match on questionable fouls a Sounder would go down a little easily and then look up for help from the referee. Most often this was from Fredy Montero, but it...
Life Without Riley
If James Riley is a hothead I don't know. What I do know is that he was Red Carded, and earned two yellows and fines in the last two weeks for his violent conduct on the pitch. What I also know is that due to the tactics that Coach Schmid employs concerning Riley and Brad Evans, this week's game...
Steve Zakuani - No First Team, No Second Team, JustSounders
When he starts Sounders FC wins, OK maybe that's a little bit of my own personal hyperbole, but he did start last Saturday against the San Jose Earthquakes. The number one pick out of Akron also scored, and was credited with the secondary assist on the Brad Evans goal. Steve now has 2 goals and 2...
