The Seattle Sounders have added a PDL team to their youth development program, partnering with
the Tacoma Tide and rebranding the team as Sounders FC U-23. The team will be coached by current
Sounders academy director Darren Sawatzky and play somewhere in Pierce County, although a permanent
home has not yet been determined.
In an era of Galácticos, oil ball, and 300,000-a-week wages, it's easy to view football as a
revolution. When something is wrong, blow it up and start over. Avram Grant not working out? Try
Ancelotti. Ancelotti not the ticket? Go for AVB. If Ronaldo and Kaka aren't enough to be beat
Barcelona, maybe Ronaldo, Kaka and The Special One will be.
