Well it’s that time of year again. The time for everyone to do their “Best of 2013” blog posts. So here are my favorite photos from the Sounders’ 2013 MLS season (and a few from the Champions’ League). Of course, the Sounders weren’t the only matches that I got to …
The Sounders’ 14-match home winning streak came to an end when the Vancouver Whitecaps beat them 4-1 on October 9. It was not a pretty match for Seattle fans. So if you don’t want to relive it, I understand. (Personally, I wanted to forget it, which is why it took …

The Seattle Sounders went down a goal to Chicago Fire midway through the first half, but Lamar Neagle evened it up before halftime. It remained tied until shortly after Zach Scott subbed on. In the 89th minute, he sent a low driven cross into the box which Gonzalo Segares knocked …

I always seem to come home with more “selects” when it’s a good match. Funny how that works! Makes complete sense, though…more …
Injuries have been plaguing the Seattle Sounders of late. They came into Saturday’s match having lost 3 of their last 4, in a month that some said should have been an easy stretch of games. Seattle went down a goal to Colorado in the 60th minute off a corner kick. …
Ever since the rumors started that Obafemi Martins was coming to play for the Seattle Sounders I was looking forward to capturing his trademark goal-celebrating back flip. Before this match, I was in the wrong place every time. But on Wednesday night luck was on my side, and he flipped …
On Saturday night, in front of a crowd over 53,000 strong, the Seattle Sounders defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-2. With the win, the Sounders take the lead on the season for the coveted Cascadia Cup. There are still several matches to be played, so they’ll need to keep playing well …
