Midweek seems an apt time to touch on a few things I've overlooked:
*The Sounders play Barcelona at 7:30 tonight in Seattle on ESPN2. It will be interesting to see
who that usually delirious crowd will predominantly be rooting for - the home team or the European

Here's Barcelona's Lionel Messi doing a little ball juggling atop the 605-foot-high Space needle
ahead of the game.
That's according to Brian Boswell, coach of the Rolling Hills Estates-based Women's Professional
Soccer League club Ajax America (for years now one of the top women's teams in the nation and a
WPSL finalist again last year) and a sometime contributor to this blog.
The revelations were contained in what is essentially a begging letter circulating via e-mail
that seeks to ensure the continued existence of Ajax.
