Sounders Fall to Columbus for the First Time

Seattle’s franchise-best start to the season has been faltering as of late. This Wednesday the Columbus Crew got the better of the Sounders for the first time in the 8 matches they’ve played over the past 3 years. There weren’t a lot of highlights for the home side, so let’s …

Project 365: Days 167-179

Two weeks have passed since my last Project 365 post. It’s been getting tougher lately to find the motivation to keep at it. There were definitely some moments of almost giving up. But this past Saturday I made a pact with a good friend who is also doing his own …

Project 365: Days 117-130

This post is long overdue. But it seems to have become a habit to do my Project 365 posts on a weekly (or every other week) basis. It’s been a busy couple of weeks — shot two Sounders matches, had some more Seattle snow, and we finally saw the first …

Sounders Keep Clean Sheet and Beat Dynamo

It wasn’t the prettiest of matches — fouls, floppi- I mean “gamesmanship” (from both sides), a deflected goal and an arguably soft penalty call. But Seattle Sounders managed to keep the previously undefeated Houston Dynamo scoreless while scoring 2 goals partway through the first half. The 2-0 win gives the …
