Another US Open Cup Win for the Sounders

By Ben · Comments (0) · June 7th, 2012

The Sounders advance to the quarter finals on their quest to a record 4th US Open Cup championship after a 5-0 win vs Cal FC.

Cal FC had quite the Cinderella story going in the US Open cup, but after defeating the Portland Timbers last round the Sounders knew they had to be taken seriously.

Any team amateur or pro can qualify for the US Open cup. Cal FC is an amateur team put together and coached by Wynalda and Nick Webster. The team is a bunch of ‘not quite good enough’s’ and ‘haven’t had my shot yet’s’. They have played very few organized matches as a team, but managed to qualify for the US open cup and make an impressive run until the sounders put a stop to that last night.

It does put a smile on my face that an amateur team knocked of the Portland Timbers.

Here are the highlights.

Pics of Real Salt Lake Match

Here are some pictures I wanted to share with you from the Real Salt Lake Match.  Sounders lost the match 0-1.

Real Salt Lake is a team the Sounders need to beat.  It is great that we have a lot of wins but if we cannot beat the best then we have no shot of getting past the first round in the playoffs.

The sounders need to dig down and figure out ways to win the tough matches.

Sounders off to the Best Start in Franchise History

By Ben · Comments (0) · May 8th, 2012
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

After beating the Union on Saturday afternoon, the Sounders found themselves with a record of 6-1-1.

This the best start in franchise history and enough to have them comfortably atop the western division. Now if you look at the western standings right now we will be in 3rd place, but we have played 3 less games than Real Salt Lake and 2 less games than San Jose. Through 8 games we have put up the most points in the entire MLS.

Our defense has been strong and our offense, although slow to score on Saturday, have been producing many chances to score goals. Once a few of those unlucky cross bar shots start falling we will see our goal numbers increase.

Mauro Rosales found the back of the net on Saturday for his first goal of the season. We also got to see Andy Rose and Alex Caskey get the start. Two rookies who looked very good this weekend. Both Rose and Caskey were so close to scoring goals, and Rose showed some grit and aggressive play out on the pitch. I loved it.

The Sounders continue with their next match Wednesday night away at FC Dallas.  Can they continue their winning ways?

Here are a few pictures of the action thanks to Rick Morrison.

Sounders Top LA 2-0 – Fredy with Spectacular Goal (Video)

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

Last night the Sounders put the hurt on the LA Galaxy.  Our offense is finally starting to come together like the defense has been all season.

Eddie Johnson put the Sounders on the board first with a header that skipped right under the LA keeper.  Eddies 2nd goal in 2 games.

Fredy Montero had so many great opportunities that he was bound to Read More→

Zach Scott’s Header Gives Sounders the Victory

By Ben · Comments (0) · April 15th, 2012

Zach Scott

Zach Scott gave the sounders the victory yesterday against the Colorado Rapids.

The header was a thing of beauty.  Early on in the game Scott had a similar opportunity and Kasey Keller said something to the tune of ‘If he gets another chance like that it’ll go in the back of the net.’. And sure enough he got that chance off of a Alex Caskey corner and sealed the deal.

The Sounders did look better, but the offense still is not clicking on all cylinders.  Its a good thing the defense is holding otherwise we would not be a team with 3 wins.

It is great to see Eddie Johnson out there.  I have a feeling once he gets settled in he will start making a huge difference.  Give him this bye week to rest up and the following game vs the Chicago Fire he’ll find the back of the net.

The disdain for Brian Mullan was clear and loud.

This was the fist time Brian Mullan has returned to CLink field after his atrocious tackle on Steve Zakuani.  Zakuani said during the week that there are no ill feelings toward the guy who broke his leg and has caused him to miss an entire season of his MLS career and possibly even more.

But that didn’t stop the fans from letting Mullan know how we fealt.

Every time the guy touched the ball he was scolded with boos and hiss’s.  Mullan almost had a goal, but it was called back for off sides.  My how he would have loved in the midst of the boos, but it was the Sounders and the fans who got the last laugh.

The boys in rave picked up their 3 win of the season with a 1-0 victory.

Update on Steve Zakuani – First real match in a year.

By Ben · Comments (0) · April 2nd, 2012
Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Steve Zakuani has not played in  a competitive soccer match in nearly a year.  Since his broken leg at the beginning of last season Zakuani has undergone extensive and difficult rehabilitation in order to return to full form, but he is not quite there yet.

He made a huge stride on Sunday when he played a full 45 minutes vs Gonzaga in a reserves game. Read More→

Sounders Lose On a Bogus PK

By Ben · Comments (0) · March 31st, 2012

Alonso vs San Jose EarthquakesGARBAGE! That is about how I would describe tonight’s match between San Jose and the Sounders FC. From the terrible call that led to the Earthquake penalty kick to the way the Sounders played. Not to mention the 0-1 loss.

How much love loss is possible within a 2 week time frame? I’ll tell you one thing… soccer brings such a drastic range of emotions. In their season opener vs Toronto FC it looked like the boys could do no wrong. In the first 75 minutes of tonight’s match they could do no right. They looked AWFUL. No possession, they couldn’t win the 50/50 balls and for goodness sake could one of you make a good quality clear on defense?

They turned up the heat in the last 20 minutes or so, but that is expected when your opponent is simply trying to hold on to the victory and putting 10 men permanently behind the ball. Read More→

Sounders off to a Powerful 2-0 Start

By Ben · Comments (0) · March 29th, 2012
Thursday, March 29th, 2012

Its a different mood in Seattle compared to last season at this time when the Galaxy and Red Bulls shamed the Sounders to a 0-2 start, and the fans were already calling for Sigi’s head on a platter.

But not this season. The boys are back and they have come back with a vengeance. It has been a STRONG 2-0 start to the season. David Estrada has been lights out. Starting the season with a Hat Trick vs Toronto FC, then adding another goal against the Dynamo last Friday.

They have looked sharp on offense and absolutely fantastic on defense. I have a feeling this could be THE YEAR!

Even with the injuries to Eddie Johnson and Mauro Rosales who are two difference makers on the field the Sounders look great.

And I even love our main man Kasey Keller running color for the new voice of the Sounders Ross Fletcher. They make quite a good team. Although it was nice to hear Arlo on Friday night.

I know I’ve got this blog off to a slow start this year, but I am getting a few things in line and may be bringing in another writer to help get the word out and spread some Sounders Love.

GO SOUNDERS!

Sounders Soccer is Back!

By Ben · Comments (0) · March 7th, 2012

Alright Guys and Gals, I am pumped!

I’ve been a little too busy to keep the site fully up to date in the off season (its a one man show around these parts) but now that 2012 official play kicks off tonight with a CONCACAF match vs Mexico’s Santos Laguna it is back to business.

I have extremely high hopes for the Sounders in 2012 CONCACAF, MLS and does anyone here 4peat for the US Open Cup!

I put a poll on the website that asked, “Is the Playoff Monkey on our back Official?” – 67% of you said Yeah there is a playoff monkey on our back (20 out of 30 votes). Well this is the year we shake off the Monkey and bring home the hardware that has evaded us.

Until that point we have a lot of bidness to take care of, and that starts tonight with CONCACAF!

We’ll talk soon.
