Eddie and Fredy Lead Sounders in Win Against Galaxy

LA Galaxy arrived in Seattle without two of their three international superstars – David Beckham and Robbie Keane. Landon Donovan could not lead his weakened side to a win or draw. So for the first time in MLS play, the Seattle Sounders beat LA at home with a final score …

Project 365: Days 157-166

The last ten days seemed to pass in an instant. A weekend in Portland and lots of work have made these increasingly longer days of Spring speed quickly by. I was close to posting this sooner, but simply didn’t make the time. I sense, though, that I might be getting …

My First Visit to Jeld-Wen Field in Portland

This past Saturday I went to what many Seattle Sounders fans might refer to as the lion’s den — Jeld-Wen Field in Portland, OR. (OK, that’s probably not exactly the phrase that would be used, but hey, my mom might read this!) It was a gorgeous sunny day and the …

Project 365: Days 147-156

This installment of my Project 365 covers the last ten days of shooting. I’m writing it while riding the train down to Portland, though I may not post it until later. Connectivity is not the greatest on the train! But I figured there’s no better time than present to get …

Scott’s Header Gives Sounders the Win

One of the most unlikely players gave the Seattle Sounders its only goal in a 1-0 win against the Colorado Rapids on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Right back Zach Scott, one of the few remaining Sounders from back in the USL days, scored his first MLS goal off a header …

Project 365: Days 131-146

Ok, I continue to fail on posting these with any regularity. But I am still shooting at least once a day for my Project 365. It is somewhat interesting to see what the last couple of weeks have garnered all together in one single post. Well ok, perhaps not, but …

Sounders Fall to Earthquakes

Looking to start their MLS season with three wins at home, the Sounders were hopeful that they could match the start they had in 2009. But the San Jose Earthquakes weren’t willing to oblige. They took the lead in the 24th minute when Chris Wondoloski converted his penalty kick, and …

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 …
