Seba LeToux sports the Sounder Blue (from SoundersFC.com)

Maybe you thought that Rave Green was ugly and you bought the Sounder Blue Jersey instead. Then you were wondering why you spent your money.

Well, the Front Office announced today that the Sounders will be wearing the all-blue alternate kit for the first time on Wednesday when they take on the Portland Timbers in the Third Round of the US Open Cup at PGE Park

As a note, Sebastien LeToux has two goals and two assists in US Open Cup play this year. In 2007 and ‘08, he was the US Open Cup goal scoring leader (with 5 in each of those Cups).

Nate Jaqua: MLS Player of the Week (from Getty)

Nate Jaqua tallied two goals and an assist in Sunday’s match against the Colorado Rapids- that stat line has prompted MLS to tab the Eugene, OR native with MLS’s Player of the Week honors.

This was Jaqua’s fifth Career multi-goal game; his first as a Sounder. His first goal from the week’s match is up for Goal of the Week.

Jaqua is the third Sounder to be tabbed with the honors. Fredy Montero won the title for Week 1, Kasey Keller in Week 2.

after the explosive sounders FC start, and the poor start of many other teams, it seemed like, while it would be premature to think we were going to win the league, well, we could count on the playoffs…. but then over the last 4–6 weeks that feeling started to slip away from a ‘we will make the playoffs’ to a ‘boy, we could throw this away.’

yesterday hopefully put a stop to that…. we put 4 points between colorado and us but in more of a surprise, the galaxy held houston.

houston is still 3 points ahead with a game in hand, but there was a point there where they didn’t look like they were going to drop another point. they play that game in hand on july 4th away to KC. should they fail to get a point there, we will be playing them on the 11th where a win would see us leapfrog them in the standings based upon goal differential.

funny how quick these things change

much needed win against a close division rival

 I wasn’t able to make this game. It was the anniversary for the wifey and I, and I just got back from picking up the kids from the grandparents and now I am sitting down to a DVR’d Sounders match.

I am going to try something new and blog while I watch (with a few paused moments to be able to catch up). Not trying to do a play by play, but merely write on the important moments of the match. And as I start off here, I am on about a 45 minute delay from the live match. Already, my phone has been getting many texts, so I am translate that into goals, I just don’t know who for yet.
