Marshall wound up credited with that goal in the end. Ljungberg with the assist. The Sounders have now scored on a Free Kick (indirect), although they did give up two corners and are now +0 on the 2010 season on set-plays.
Robert Pires looks fairly likely to be in MLS in the Secondary Window.
Houston's soccer stadium has been approved by the city and now the County Councils. All that's left is negotiating the lease details. There is serious progress for the league on this front with really only DC, and to a lesser extent New England, without an end in sight.
KC has a competitve match tonight against the Rapids in US Open Cup Play-In Rounds. The Wizards 4-3-3 has Wolff, Bunbury and Myers at Forward with Sunil in a midfield role.
The SBN Power Ranking are going to be updated any moment. Word is that there was a lot of movement this week. UP. Seattle stays put, but Galaxy are clear number one with United and TFC battling for worst.
Sounders stats are now updated here. I have not given Nyassi 1, despite that he should have one.
