I can’t believe this is only my second blog post this year! I am so behind! (Of course, I have been contributing to Sounder at Heart all season long.) Anyway, last night the Seattle Sounders took on FC Dallas at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The first half was not very …
Sounders huddle before the opening whistle as the singing and chanting Emerald City Supporters look on. (Photo by Mike Russell. All rights reserved.) The Sounders did it, they won major MLS silverware. In their sixth year in MLS, the Seattle Sounders were the best team in the league and claimed …
On Friday night, the Seattle Sounders battled one of their fiercest rivals, Real Salt Lake. It was quite the exciting match – stunning goals, a red card in the 68th minute, and a late stoppage-time winner by Andy Rose in the 94th minute. Sounders won it 3-2. Good times. (Click …
When archrivals Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers square off, it’s always going to be a battle. Wednesday night’s US Open Cup match out at Starfire Sports was no exception. It looked like the Sounders were going to win it after 90 minutes off an earlier goal from Osvaldo Alonso. But …
