The early morning thoughts of a sleepless fan on a pregame night:
So why did I print my playoff tickets out as soon as I had the option? If I’d waited, Sigi and Kasey would have personally called my house to remind me. Well, okay, robo-called. But still…
Checked the hourly forecast. [...]

The “OOH, THAT WAS PRETTY” award to:
Seattle Sounders.
You guys are proving — with your sharp one-touch passes and your gorgeously aggressive attacking style — that MLS doesn’t have to mean ugly soccer. And for this we thank you.
(Plus you gave Sigi the “winningest coach” record AND broke the goalless [...]

The, “ACTUALLY, THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THIS SIDE” award to:
Seattle Sounders for making the playoffs with a game to spare.
Did anybody else read headlines this morning like, “Chicago fail to clinch” and think: “Haha! For once they’re not writing about us!” Cruel, yes. But dammit, we deserve to [...]
Seattle vs. Columbus: The Utterly Unofficial Awards They REALLY Deserved
By: Laurie | 12 Comments
Last year during the playoffs I got tired of the standard, usual awards (MotM? yawn) and decided to create my own. (Columbus fans, your team features in two of those links. Im guessing that you’ll be happier clicking on them rather than reading this one. Just a thought.)

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 [...]

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.
Road Woahs: The Ten Most Shocking Things from SJ v. Seattle
By: Steve | 5 Comments
10. Well, to start things off, 4-0… Did anyone see that coming? Seattle has not been the best team on the road this year, but to lose by that wide of a margin, to the worst team in the West, even with an own goal and a red card shows that… well… that there [...]
Sounders Poetry: Reflections on Referees and Freddie’s Red Card

And Blanco Stayed on the Field…HOW?
OR: Reflection on Freddie’s first yellow
(for a “dive”)
and second
