Krishnaiyer's connection to the NASL dates back to 1981, when he was a ball boy for the Fort
Lauderdale Strikers.
Seriously, you wanted a match card for this one? Keys to the Game? Its a FRIENDLY against a team
that didn't know that Sounders play on Field Turf while praising the stadium. It is a friendly
against a team that claims all of its stars at World Cup camps, even though some aren't on
rosters.
Friendlies are good because they let you see teams you'd never see.
With the recent news that Jose Romero is leaving the Seattle Times, the rumors concerning Arlo
White joining the Sounders broadcast, latest release of the Face of Sports (US)by Nielson and the
nearly constant complaints on soccer forums about local sportsradio's lack of coverage of the
Sounders I thought I should share my thoughts on this in just one place.

Part 1 of our Q&A can be seen here. In the second part, Arlo talks about replacing
Seattle-announcing icon Kevin Calabro, discusses his early career and gives us a less on
cricket.
S@H: You were hired to essentially replace Kevin Calabro, who was a bit of a Seattle
announcing icon. Was that difficult or did you think the audience was just ready to have a soccer
guy?
