i only have the official sounders site to read from right now, so until i gather additional insight/opinion, i will keep this short.

nyassi (quickly becoming one of my favorites) scored two goals in the second half to give the sounders a 2-0 win.

said couch schmid on nyassi…

“He obviously has good speed. If a team is going to play an offside trap, then a player like him or if we had played a player like Steve Zakuani, are going to tear a team like that apart. So that’s what Sanna did. He finishes goals well. The first one he finished very well by chipping it over him. The timing of his run was very good. Roger made a very unselfish run to open up that space for him. He’s a dangerous player. He’s the kind of player that can impact the game by coming off the bench, or being in the starting lineup.”

it is nice to get a clean sheet as well.

obviously i have no idea what calibre of play the chinese champions have, but to be champions, even of a lesser known league, you obviously have consistency and skill. so this is a nice win again.

up next, the mighty Ventura County Fusion to be held at a high school ground. with all due respect to the VCF… i would like a 4 goal win on this one.

ok, i am now turning off the computer, ordering a beer, and watching the US Mexico game at the dray 17 minutes from now.
