My Favorite Moment from Last Night’s Game

By: Laurie | October 18th, 2009

I’ll be back later with my Utterly Unofficial Awards for KC-Seattle. But for now I just wanted to share a screenshot of my favorite moment from the MLSnet broadcast.

Ninety-third minute, five seconds left in the “minimum of three minutes” of stoppage. Kasey Keller’s just gotten a goal kick, and he’s taking his time. And Steve Zakuani is anticipating a trip to the playoffs in his rookie season. (If you want to watch, and you should, it’s at the 1 hr 51 min mark in the vid at MLSnet.)

Stevie Z, your completely unjaded and unadulterated joy (he was literally bouncing up and down — it was the cutest thing ever) makes me proud to be a Sounders fan. Even as it gives me a mild, happy ache in my maternal area.

  i had the same moment with Fredy Montero when they won the open cup. The camera was going along the sidelines (not zoomed in, but the camera itself was on the sidelines panning) and it caught Montero say “YES!” (not “si!”) in a cute, foreign way.

  seeing montero show true excitement for the team is rare, so i was surprised & happy

  ABT, you’ve just made me want to go watch the Open Cup again.

  On a related note, I think I need to delete a few games from my DVR so it doesn’t run out of room and delete my favorite games.

  FA Cup final, yer outta here!
