THE SOUNDER FC FAN BLOG Archives for May 2009
What's up Sounders Junkies,
Time for a little ranting about this weekend in Colorado where hopefully we can pull the three
points.
No Ljunberg, Evans, or Scott means we are shuffling a little bit. Not that losing Scott bothers me,
he is a huge liability right now. I think he can be a good player but right now Alonso totally
covered him to the extreme when Sturgis was hurt.
It was a dissapointing draw against FC Dallas for me, the consumate Sounder/Football fan, it was
extermely disheartening to see all the chances go to waist like they did on Saturday.
United got its title out of the way now they will focus on the Champions League Final and already
news that John O'Shea will start from the go.
Greetings,
It is Friday and I decided it was a good idea to get my MLS predictions out as long as my picks for
the big Arsenal Manchester United game coming up tomorrow as well as Newcastle's game against
Fulham.
First lets start with United all they need is a draw and they win another title and tie Liverpool
for titles.
What a great game for my United. Maybe Fergie will realize that now Tevez is worth the money. He
was brought on and United fought back from 1-0 down and won 2-1. Now a draw against the Gooners
means that for a third consecutive year the title trophy stays in Manchester with the Red side of
town.
Anderson was in effective and Berbatov had a tough time with the defense of Wigan to start but once
Ronaldo was moved to the middle and Tevez (see right) was brought on it all changed.
MLS All Star game voting is starting, lets vote in all our fucking Sounder players. Guys like
Keller, Marshall, Hurtado, Ljundberg, Montero, and Zakuani deserve to be recognized!!!!!
Go to MLSNET.com and Vote.....NOW!
This will be an interesting game for United. There are rumors all over the Internet that after
Ronaldo's antics on Sunday that he and Fergie had a huge bust up afterward. I have even read a
rumor that Fergie has agreed to sell Ronaldo to Mardrid for 72 Million pounds!!!!! If that happens
then United can do what the fans want and resign Tevez for 26 Million and take the rest and go get
Frank Ribery(seen on right) who right now could turn into just as good a player without being a
bitch of a teammate.
Well this didn't suprise me though as a United fan (been one since the mid 90's) I just think its a
disgrace. The idea of Darren Fletcher not being able to participate is a sad. He has been crucial
this season and I for one am worried with him out who is going to keep the Barca mid field in
check? I like Carrick but he can't do it alone.
A lot of thoughts on the Sounders and Galaxy, along with that United cruised past City which only
helps them in finishing off the title chase once and for all.
If I had wanted to see a rugby match I would have stayed home and watched the Magners League on
Setanta. But coming from a team coached by Bruce Arena I was not totally shocked at the way the
Galaxy played.
Just got done with my recorded games, what a job by Fulham, they really put the hurt of Aston
Villa. Both teams played open but Fulham and Kamara converted the chances they had. One of my
favorites from the National team Clint Dempsey played a hell of a game in my view. He was all over
the place and helped create one of Kamaras goals with a nice through ball.
Greetings soccer fans,
Just watched some Stoke V Hull this morning and lets just say the quality was Coca Cola
Championship level at best. But in the end Stoke came away 2-1 winners.
Personally I wanted Hull to do well this season. They make it up through the Playoff win 6 of their
9 games and now they can't buy a result.
Some choice games this weekend I think.
My Saturday game of choice would probably be the relegation 6 pointer Hull City and Stoke City.
either team wins and it will help them survive. Stoke wins and they are going to be safe I
think.
Tony Pulis is doing a great job the second half of the season, Etherington, Beattie, and co.
Greetings from my humble house south of Seattle,
Galaxy v Sounders....this means Donovan v Sounders. He is the key to the game for most Sounders
supporters. If we hold him down then we have an excellent chance at three points.
I think this will be a team effort to stop him, to many times has Donovan made holding mid-fielders
look extremely bad.
Wow,
This was something as a huge fan I had heard rumblings about but now that this is true I couldn't
be more excited.
As most of the Sounder fans know Barca play one of the most entertaining styles of football in the
world and it will be a fucking privledge to watch them in person.
Well that was interesting,
Shaktar and Werder Bremen (who I didn't fancy to make it into the final) are playing each other in
the final UEFA Cup Final in Istanbul.
Although Diego is suspended for the final for to many yellow cards I still think Werder have the
internationals to win and Almeida is a solid player along with Pizzaro.
Wow,
I just watched the reply of the Chelsea v Barca game and saw the antics at the end.
What a disgrace, Drogba and Ballack (two great players I can do without) are going to be punished I
have to believe. They were all over the referee from Norway. I even read an article where they were
saying the British police had to smuggle him out of the country to make sure he made it home safe.
Alright then,
As you were, this used to be just a personal blog spot but I want it to be more so I am going to be
about the soccer "football". I am a huge Sounders FC, lived in Seattle area my whole life. So lets
start this blog.
First off, 4-2-1 if you had said to me that was going to be our record this many games in I would
have taken it hands down.
