As you were, this used to be just a personal blog spot but I want it to be more so I am going to be about the soccer "football". I am a huge Sounders FC, lived in Seattle area my whole life. So lets start this blog.
First off, 4-2-1 if you had said to me that was going to be our record this many games in I would have taken it hands down.
Some general observations on the club:
1. Sigi and the management staff seem to have made all the right moves but lets wait till we get further into the season before we give them a final grade.
2. Sigi it must be said, is the best manager in the league if he had an opportunity to go to Europe to manage he could succeed I think.
3.Montero is for real, I know as of right now he is on a scoring blip, but you don't score in every game. Now he misses the next match, which isn't deserved in my view.
4. Alonso and Hurtado have huge futures over seas eventually, I can see Alonso as Mascherano type and Hurtado has the skill in the air of some of the better defenders in the EPL I believe.
5. Keller still has "it" at first when I was deciding to write this blog I wasn't sure if he had anything left in the tank. I was wrong, he is just as good now as he was in the lead up to the last World Cup.
6. The home support doesn't shock me, MLS teams all over the country are shocked by the support but I am not. This team was going to get the support regardless of what has gone on in the city of Seattle.
7. Toronto, Chicago, aren't as good as their fans think. Sorry from watching them play the Sounders I don't see the comparison same can be said for Chivas, they were completely outplayed and didn't deserve to beat the Sounders.
All for now for The Sounders, I expect 3 points on Mothers Day, LA is not near the quality of the Sounders I expect Bruce Arena to park his team in front of goal and try and counter attack the Sounders. Good luck Bruce.
Onto the Champions League:
Manchester United is going to get 4 trophies, I like Barca but I don't think they have the quality defensively to handle Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Park, Berbatov, and Park. Carrick is the best holding mid fielder in England hands down. Also Vidic and Ferdinand are the best center half duo in the world right now. Their understanding with each other is telepathic!
Barca obviously will win La Liga, Inter is the same, United will nip Liverpool for EPL, Wolfsburg will win the Bundesliga, and AZ already won in Holland.
The next big tournament is the Confederations Cup more on that next blog. I will try and post here at least twice a week. Once after the Sounders game and once previewing next week and other tournaments.
Show some support
All for now
