The Freddie Ljungberg Song, Sung to the Tune of “Oh My Darling, Clementine”

By: Laurie | Comments 5 Comments

What can we say about this game? Um…. Let’s see. Maybe the word nerds among us could give a complete conjugation of the verb “To Suck”?
Or we could write a song dedicated to our argumentative Designated Player, who will be missing the next game due to yellow card accumulation because [...]

My New Sounders Credit Card!!

By: Steve | Comments 4 Comments

The image is a photo I took back at the Columbus-Seattle game in May. If you have a Capitol One card and want to use the image, it is available under “public images” on the Capital One Image Card website. The file is called “Jaqua Scores.”

P.S. It doesn’t actually look this blurry in [...]

It Should Have Been 3-1…

By: Steve | Comments 8 Comments

at half-time.
Jaqua, Montero, Ianni all should have scored. Montero could not have gotten any closer on his penalty, but Ianni and Jaqua both blew it from less than 5 yards out right in front of the net… Please, feel free to leave your laments, especially in the form of poetry and I will try [...]

A little bit late, but if you haven’t seen it yet Gabi Campanario sketched and wrote a bit about the Barcelona game earlier this month. Very cool drawings and observations. Read the article here.

LA Galaxy 0-2 Seattle (Or: WOW! The Rules DO Apply to David Beckham!)

By: Laurie | Comments 9 Comments

I am taking a longish blogging (slash son getting chemo) break. Truly I am. Except that I am just bubbling over with a need to talk about last night’s game, so I figure it’s best to just blog it all out and be done with it.
Must confess here that I was not able [...]

By: Steve | Comments 11 Comments

If you have not heard the story yet, Donavon came down with a nasty case of H1N1 before arriving in Mexico City for Wednesday’s qualifier in Azteca. Although Mexico was the epicenter for the Swine Flu Outbreak, it seems as if Donavon contracted the virus while in the US, which raises at least one [...]

Overdramatic?

By: Steve | Comments 1 Comment

This graph representing the 1920’s stock market crash also happens to represent the exact trend of the team’s awesomeness since defeating Houston on July 11. Obama, we need bailout money in the form of someone who can finish consistently.

Matchday 20: Seattle Sounders @ RSL

By: Steve | Comments 7 Comments

Road woes and red cards have taken a backseat to Seattle’s incredible inaugural season, but that does not mean opposing teams aren’t noticing. In Saturday’s 4-0 loss in San Jose, the Earthquakes came out aggressive and pushy, eventually baiting Sounder’s Riley into his second red card of the season.

Freddie Ljungberg will be back from his [...]
