Major Link Soccer: Ultra Sanctions
The Earthquakes Supporters feel the aftershocks of their behavior a week ago. Also, player reactions to the Sounders win, Value of the Supporter's Shield, and new Intra-league loan rules.

An apology for being away as long as I have:
You're welcome.
Sounders 0:2 Crud
I wasn't worried about this game. That's what I said in my abbreviated preview post. I still wasn't worried about it in the minutes leading up to the second goal. The Sounders had chances most of...
Sounders vs Crew
Sorry folks, I've been AFK for the better part of the week, which isn't really a good excuse for my lack of posts (I swear I'll get to the Whitecaps match, I DO!). I'm about to leave for the Crew...
Sounders vs Whitecaps
Vancouver. That's really all I want to write about this match right now. Between helping a friend clean his house for a move, watching the Mariners be generally awful (COME ON MILLWOOD, SUCK A...
Switching the Attack: the Vancouver Whitecaps
The Sounders lost their second game of the 2012 season last weekend against Real Salt Lake. Although they no longer sit atop the power rankings, the sky did not fall and they are still leading...
I love the love-fests
The daily links at The Seattle Times had another lovely article about our little club here in Southeast Alaska. It'll be in the World Football edition of ESPN The Magazine in a few weeks. Find the...
Sounders 0:1 Salt Lake
If you had told me two weeks ago that the Sounders would win four of their next five, that they would be sitting in second place with games in hand, I would be ecstatic. We’re talking about the...
Seattle vs Salt Lake, Projected Rosters
The Emerald City takes on The Mormon City (too easy?) on an unnaturally nice day in Seattle. Both teams will be at a disadvantage as they try to fight the giant yellow ball of death in the sky. C...
Sounders 2:0 Dallas, notes
Roughly two weeks ago, I sat in front of my computer monitor looking at Seattle's schedule over the following two weeks. in front of me, I saw a schedule that threw five games at the Sounders in...
Sounders vs Dallas, lineups
Seattle goes for it's fifth win in a row as they take on the Dallas Burn. Wait, what? No nickname? Well that's awfully limiting for a literary genius like myself such as the children and maps. What...
Not Sounders Related, Just Funny

Switching the Attack: FC Dallas Edition
For the second week in a row, the Sounders have been gifted with a mid-week match against a team missing some of its core players. Last week saw the Galaxy travel to Seattle without the help of...
Sounders 1:0 Union
Seattle cruised to a 1-0 win on Saturday, dumping the Philadelphia Union and taking three points in the process. A win on Wednesday over Dallas would bring the Sounders into a tie for first place...
The Sound-Vengers
It was tough to decide between Rosales and Levesque as the "Black Widow". I'm glad I made the choice I did. By the way, it appears that someone went ahead and posted this on their own website...
Dissecting possible Sounders lineups
The Seattle Sounders are two games into the most crowded section of their 2012 schedule. They've already passed tests in Chicago and against LA, but they have three more matches by next Sunday, and...
Sounders 2:0 Galaxy
First of all, let me just say, HOLY CRAP WHAT A GOAL. (check out Jason's post to see Montero kick balls) There aren't a lot of better ways to get off the snide than that. It's a goal that's going...
Quick Reaction: LA Galaxy Edition
The Sounders defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0 tonight. In the 40th minute, Mauro Rosales hit a cross into the box that neatly found the head of Eddie Johnson. Johnson's header was directed low...
Sounders vs Galaxy, Lineups
Today the Sounders take on the one club with a better record over their MLS existence than their own: LA. It's rather unfortunate actually: I'd love to use this space to rip the disappointing 2012...
Switching the Attack: The LA Galaxy
In a continuing trend, the Galaxy appear reluctant to bring their high-priced foreign talent to Seattle for a midweek fixture. Last year saw David Beckham remain in Los Angeles for an U.S. Open...
MLS Fightnight PAY PER VIEW: Sounders. Fire.
Despite the Sounder's sterling record against the Fire of Chicago, matches between the two teams have always had a good little spark there. (HAH.) That culminated last year with the US Open Cup, a...
Sounders 2:1 Fire
The Sounders survived hurricane-force winds, the hacking legs of Gonzalo Segares, and the old man walking speed of Eddie Johnson to take home three points in the first match of a busy nine game...
Sounders vs Fire, Lineups
Today the Sounders visit Chicago to take on that other really successful expansion side, the Chicago Fire, in front of what should be a good crowd of Portland fans. (What do you mean they aren't...
Bow before your new king (of Cascadia)
Hi there devoted Sounders, my name is Eric. And like all in-demand people, I have arrived fashionably late. Jason has already introduced himself, but clearly you've all been waiting for my own...
Welcome and farewell!
This is a bittersweet moment. Bitter because I've enjoyed occupying this space and time, sweet because I know that I am handing off the blog to good people. From here on out I am putting down the...
