Keller & Montero (& Ljungberg) Named All-Stars
Each year, a total of 32 players are named All-Stars in accordance with the MLS Collective Bargaining agreement. Previously, 25 players have been announced to this year’s roster, and today, MLS announced the final seven…
The additional list include Seattle’s Kasey Keller, Fredy Montero, and, yes… Freddie Ljungberg have been added to the squad.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen (Kansas City), midfielders Joel Lindpere (New York), Robbie Rogers (Columbus), and forward and Conor Casey (Colorado) round out the final group.
The three Sounders will be on the “Inactive” roster.
How Ljungberg makes it over Steve Zakuani? Sad.
Update on Freddie Ljungberg
Here’s a quick update about Freddie’s status…
- Freddie Ljungberg is no longer training with the Sounders, but rather on his own. According to Adrian Hanauer, “he is training by himself, getting healthy, getting fit. We agreed together that it made some sense to keep him away from the club as he is exploring other options. I don’t think there’s a secret that that’s happening. We just thought it was best to keep this team focused right here on winning on Sunday, let Freddie explore options. As that process plays out, we will take things as they come to us. Again, assuming something does or doesn’t happen in the next week or few days or two weeks, we will cross that bridge when we come to it.”
- Freddie has dumped Swedish agent Claes Elefalk and is now represented by Phil Smith, who is director of the First Artist cooporation. He also represents Andrei Arshavin and Emmanuel Adebayor.
- The Sounders are allowing Ljungberg to work out his options “in a collaborative effort” with the club. It appears one MLS side and one international club is interested in the Swede’s services.
will freddie ever play in a sounders shirt again?

Freddie Ljungberg "Diving" (click to enlarge)
Philadelphia Union Head Boss, Peter Nowack had some comments about the Sounders “Flopping and diving” during their 2-0 loss on Thursday Night.
From the other standpoint we got to see all this flopping and diving and when you see the stats we have eight fouls and six cards that is too much. There is guys rolling around on the pitch like they got shot. I think we need to recognize there are guys doing this stuff and trying to take advantage of the referee decisions.
