Sounders v San Jose Earthquakes - Gamethread

You ever just get sick and tired of an opponent? Stupid overly physical crap on and off the field, throw in some biased announcers, a match where the home team failed to broadcast and a guy who can score several dozen goals in league play but not a lick for the national team so why should we tolerate him?

Yep, that's right, it's the San Jose Earthquakes coming back to Seattle!

The Scouting Report is pretty terrific so let's take it a step further.

Wondo may be a ghost, but that doesn't mean you need to fear him. He's just a dude that pops up in odd places. Communicate and all will be good. Lenhart is goofy. He's probably not going to play, but that doesn't mean you have to put up with that stuff. He's an insect. Play the game of soccer and let the shenanigans go. There will be opportunities. When they are there get all Djimi and take them. You are gods. You understand. So do we. Answer in the affirmative. Just don't lose. They are a team named after a natural disaster not nature's beauty.

The player v player matchups are goofy because both teams are injury riddled and on short rest. This is my best shot. Deal with it. Then review the paragraph above and figure out how I used the Ghostbusters for inspiration.
