Today, we’ll look at the nine clubs from the Western Conference to see how they’ve been…[continue reading]

Photo: Sneak Peak At 2012 Seattle Sounders Kits


A little sneak peak if you will at the 2012 Seattle Sounders kits, likely road kits. This was taken earlier by a photographer (@rodmarphoto) and then tweeted out to the world! Gotta love Twitter. (h/t to Seattle beat writer @joshuamayers) Light blue(ish) kits. So far, I’m not sure what to make of it. What say…[continue reading]

2011 Expansion Draft List: Seattle Sounders FC


I don’t think many folks expected to see this list so soon. With the Seattle Sounders exiting the playoffs last night after there 3-2 (on aggregate) loss to Real Salt Lake, the list had to be made. Boy, Montreal has to make the most of this too as the Sounders stand to lose one quality…[continue reading]

Final Thoughts on Seattle and the USOC


First off, congratulations to the Seattle Sounders FC on their third straight US Open Cup title. Its a feat that has to be commended since three-peats in sports happen so rarely anymore. That said, other teams have to start taking note of this competition. I think the 2011 edition of the USOC was better than…[continue reading]

I’ll admit, I’m still in a bit of aw over this Tifo. Very impressive stuff. Here is the video of it going up last night. I swear I’ll have some actual posts up at some point today, or this week (its an international week on the calendar so I’m taking it a tad easy).

"Everyone has to make their own decisions as they relate to those things. For me, if my team's in a competition I'm going to go to the game with them, no matter what the team is that I send down. ... For me, not traveling with the team I think would be disrespectful to the competition that you're competing in and to the opponent that you're playing."
~ Sigi Schmid, Seattle Sounders FC head coach

Saw this quote from Sigi Schmid in regards to Colorado Rapids manager Gary Smith staying at home this past week for the Rapids CCL trip to Honduras. Can’t say I disagree with this either. Even though the Rapids won their game, the head coach should have made the trip. It will be interesting to see…[continue reading]

Sounders Get Clever With Season Ticket Renewals


File this one under the section of things that the Seattle Sounders front office does well. This clever set of videos are to help get fans in Seattle to renew their season tickets for another season.
