we actually won 3-1… a match report from a 4 year old
my dad usually writes these, but he is letting me do it today. hi, my name is ava, and today was my first sounders game. it was awesome. we won 3-1.
the elysian was packed, so we went to FX McRory’s. it was ok. my fish was small and dry and i can’t believe my dad paid $6 for it. after that, we caught the very end of the march to the match. i danced around the inflated soccer ball for ten minutes while the marching band played… i than sat on the pig for pictures. my parents were like tourists and took way too many pictures.
then, it was time to go inside for the sounders. Read more
Sigi Speaks
Sigi Schmid: ”Got beat and got beat solidly. Not the kind of game you want to ever repeat again.”
(On allowing four goals . . .) “The first goal you don’t expect a keeper like Keller to have that happen, but sometimes it does. The second goal was a good goal. Our marking could have been better but I thought we were tight and he put it in the corner. The third goal was inexcusable. It skipped past two guys. You have to not hope that someone else will do what you’re supposed to. On the fourth goal we were ducks in a shooting gallery.” Read more
Sounders Implode in 0-4 Loss
In the worst Sounders match played at Qwest Field, Seattle lost to LA Galaxy on Saturday afternoon 0-4.
US Men’s National Team captain, Landon Donovan assisted on LA’s first 3 and scored the fourth.
It was a match that saw the Sounders dominate from 18 to 18. Sadly, LA dominated inside the 18 on both ends of the pitch.
The game became frustrating to watch and everything seemed to crumble when Osvaldo Alonso was pulled in the 35th minute with a “right hamstring strain”. The match also let Sounders fans see 18 year old Miguel Montano for the first time. Read more
