We'll have more shortly on Ross Fletcher, the new voice of Sounders FC. But in the meantime you can enjoy a reel of him calling some soccer (and basketball).

A missed career on the stage Leeds goalscorer Ross McCormack mastered the archetypal 'going down in instalments' in last night's dramatic 3-3 draw at Brighton.

Manchester United, bulldozing through the 2011-12 football campaigns, will lose to Leeds United in Third Round Carling Cup action. Here's four reasons why.
1. Ross McCormack: The 25-year-old Scottish attacker is en fuego right now with four goals in his last three matches for Leeds.

Everton have confirmed that striker Jermaine Beckford has left the club in a £3 million deal. The transfer sees Beckford drop down a division to the Championship as he joins Sven Goran Eriksson's Leicester City side. Beckford failed to make the grade at Goodison Park, often frustrating Toffees fans by missing countless goalscoring opportunities.

While Everton might be a mess, when it comes to come money, they do have something to smile about: Ross Barkley. Everton's rising star Barkley is the best come out of their academy since Rooney. Over the last couple of years, Everton's academy has produced a ton of talent over the last couple of years and is starting to look like the West Ham Academy that produced so many great players in the '90's.

Trouble arrives for Chelsea ahead of their second league game this weekend against West Brom after reports from the Blues' camp confirmed that goalkeeper, Peter Cech, picked up an injury during training and is likely to be absent for three-four weeks.

When Amadou Sanyang was announced as a Seattle Sounder signee the first question was "Why is he a free?" Toronto FC had let him go as he recovered from a significant concussion. An issue that is also in light for the Sounders as Terry Boss is still recovering (3 to 6 days) from his during the Manchester United friendly.

Playing the worst team in MLS Colorado continued their lack-luster play, and they got burned by it. What should have been an easy won resulted in the Rapids 5th draw in a row and 6th draw in 7 games.
This game was much like last week's home game against Toronto. Lots of possession by the Rapids in the defensive third but no ability to capitalize on it.

I need to re-iterate for the most part, alot of what we are reading at the moment is pure speculation but it seems that if one report is to be believed that Chelsea have made their first transfer move of the summer by making a move for 19-year old Genk keeper Thibault Courtois. The 6ft 4in player has been in great form this season as Genk won their League title.
