I sent an email to Kyle, the father of the creator of this video, asking if he minded if I used it here. His response:
Laurie,
Go ahead and use it; if you know how to edit them, feel free to cut out the last part of the video–as you see, it’s pretty jerky.
Kyle
Cut it [...]
Category: Seattle Team NewsYour Official Sigi-Speak Translator (Or: What the Coaches Really Mean When They Say…)
By: Laurie | 1 Comment
Have you ever noticed that coaches are really, really good at speaking a lot while saying nothing? At sounding like they’re letting you in on every little aspect of their decision-making process, even though you’re going to be walking away barely knowing more than you did when they started?
There’s a reason for [...]
You May be Addicted to Sounders FC if…

Okay, boys and girls, show of hands.
Which of you got up this morning, saw that there are at least six suspected cases of swine flu locally, saw that the WHO had raised the threat to “pandemic imminent” levels, saw that Madrona Elementary has been closed “as a precaution” and thought…
DAMMIT! They’d better [...]
Category: Seattle Team NewsSwedes Say Swedish Men Aren’t as Manly As They Used to Be, and Freddie is a Metrosexual
By: Laurie | 1 Comment
This is a rambling, tangential post which has nothing whatsoever to do with soccer. So don’t say I didn’t warn you.
It’s actually about Swedes and google alerts. I love google alerts. They are so informative, yet so…random.
Given the combination of google alerts and our very own Freddie [...]

Just want to offer up a huge thanks to everybody who puts up homemade videos after the games. And that goes triple for untelevised games like this one.
You do know that this is the only view of the game a lot of us will ever have, right? Gracias, grazie, merci, many [...]
Category: Seattle Team NewsSounders 4-1 RSL (and How Mike at GoSounders Probably Saved my Marriage)
By: Laurie | No Comments
Mike over at GoSounders saved my marriage. I’m pretty sure.
The story is, I went out with my family for my husband’s birthday. (It killed me to miss this game, but I think I covered it pretty well.) Had a nice celebration, got home about 9:00, immediately went to the computer [...]

Two and a half hours till game time. You have no idea how much I wish I were going. But to take my mind off my severe depression, I’ll drink lots of good Italian wine at dinner talk about a couple of things.
First: here’s the MLS 101 post I did as an intro [...]

By: Laurie | 3 Comments
Heading to the US Open Cup game at Starfire? Color me jealous. Today’s my husband’s birthday, and he’s… Well, let’s just say that he’s not a fanatical fan like some members of the family. (Or maybe it’s just one member of the family. I lose count.) [...]

Show of hands. How many other people were standing right beside the pregnant woman with the Sounders logo on her belly? (I know I was.)
Also: funny how quickly I forgot how frustrated all the early missed chances made me. This video brings it all back.
But then the [...]

By: Laurie | 2 Comments
I was over at the official MLS site today, looking at the Golden Boot standings after Week 6. We are not represented in the top six — i.e. the ones who show up on the MLSnet main page. (Bottom right sidebar.)
Those current top six are:
