We beat the Argentinian side Estudiantes de la Plata 3-1 today (yesterday?) in Argentina, and their only goal was an own-goal!!
(Should I mention who it was? Own goals give me a ferocious pain in my maternal area and I [...]

I was over at the Seattle Times site tonight, and this ad was on the main page.
In case anybody doesn’t recognize our model (or can’t read tiny white print), believe me, you will recognize him after the first few games. This is The Truly Adorable Fredy Montero. (I’m pretty sure that [...]

So way back when we were announced as the 2009 expansion team, there was some whining in MLS circles that Seattle got a pass when it came to providing a soccer specific stadium. Other cities were being asked to make a commitment to building new stadiums, but Seattle got permission to use the [...]

My sister-in-blog Johonna (a fellow Seattlite who writes the Inter blog) pointed out that even though the Seattle-Vancouver game was closed to the public, it was covered by an AP photographer. He gave us this photo, which I thought was…really cool.
Well done, Ted S. Warren.
This is Alonso Osvaldo, our resident [...]

Five games down in the preseason, our boys are 4-1, and my gut says Yessssss!
Because wins are great, right? I mean, if we’re winning in the preseason, then we’re obviously going to win in the actual season season. Or so I used to think, before I became a hardcore MLS fan and actually [...]

First, before you read this post, stop over at the MLS page. Dave is running a “Who will win the league” poll and I think we should stuff the ballot box.
Next, from the official Sounders Blog:
Forward Nate Jaqua was impressed with the Qwest Field turf … he called it, “The best turf I’ve played [...]

So a couple of years ago, I was watching the wonderful TV show “Whose Line is it Anyway?”
If you’re not familiar with it (and if you’re not, you should be, if only because it was the show of our co-owner, Drew Carey), it’s all improv. And one of the skits in this [...]

From the Official Blog:
The Sounders FC opens its inaugural MLS season on March 19 against the New York Red Bulls in a nationally televised game at Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field.
Okay, now repeat “Xbox Pitch” three times, fast.

So I’ve been struggling in the preseason to find things to write about that don’t involve giving names to chickens. (Meaning I don’t want to write about trialists, because I don’t want my heart broken. Again.)
So let’s write about our newest signing, yet another Colombian, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado. Yes, “Jhon.” [...]

A huge thanks to Steve over at ProstAmerika for emailing me with the big news.** (And this is really great, because I just spent a long weekend up in Vancouver without internet access and came home with no clue about what’s been going on recently.)
