With the 2013 MLS season nearly upon us, I decided to look back through my images from the 2012 Seattle Sounders. It was an exciting season – from the Community Shield through to the Western Conference Final, with many Champions League, US Open Cup, and even a few Reserve League …
Last night was a great celebration of soccer here in Seattle. UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea FC came to town for a friendly against the Seattle Sounders. While many in attendance were there to see Chelsea, much of the celebration was for longtime fan favorite Roger Levesque. This was Roger’s …
It’s a story suited for the big screen. Seattle Sounders were on their longest streak without a win in franchise history when Colorado came to town. Fan favorite Steve Zakuani had not played in an MLS match in over 14 months after suffering a broken tibia and fibula on April …
