Radio Sounders Show: Swede Dreams are Made of This
Sounders FC reaching the US Open Cup Final overshadows all the other good stuff going on in Sounderland (it’s like Sunderland with more Os). The show looks back on the league victory over Chicago Fire and hears from Sigi Schmid and Freddie Ljungberg. There’s the tape of the Ljungberg press conference after the game.... »

Oktoberfest! – Cup Final Fever Heading to Seattle
Sounders 3 : 1 Chivas USA Sounders FC will play in the US Open Cup Final for the second successive year, having beaten Chivas USA 3-1 in a pulsating semi final at Starfire Sports Center in Tukwila tonight. Nate Jaqua scored twice, sandwiched around a Fredy Montero second goal to ensure that Jesus Padilla’s... »
Open Cup Special Comment: Why Chivas Semi is Sounders Biggest Match of the Season
Football managers blithely comment that the most important match is the next one, a comment interspersed with lamenting that you are only judged on your last result. Often these are not true. One doubts Vincente del Bosque will be trashed in the Spanish press if his side only beat Liechtenstein 1-0 at the Rheinpark Stadion... »
Class Act: Ljungberg’s Return Brings Happy Mendings
They say that how one deals with adversity is a better test of one’s character than how one deals with constant adulation and harmony. The Freddie Ljungberg saga plus his almost immediate sudden return was an opportunity for all parties to demonstrate a responsibility to the game, and an ability to deal adultly with... »
BEST CASE SCENARIO: Sounders Still Looking Below, but How Long Before They Start Looking Above?
Sigi Schmid may not have used the word ‘hopetastic’ in the press conference after last weekend’s huge victory over Chicago Fire but he might as well have done, as he ran through the results that affected Sounders FC. Other than Colorado’s 3-0 win over Houston Dynamo, none of his other rivals won their matches. That... »
Sigi: Gambia Call up is a Great Reward for Sanna
Sigi Schmid was careful to alert Sounders fans to the fact that Chivas USA were not arriving in Seattle to provide cup final fodder for Sounders. Mexican legend Martin Vasquez has had a less good season in his first stab at coaching in MLS than he would have hoped or anticipated. While his club... »
Nyassi and Danso Called up for Gambia

Gambia play Namibia in Banjul on September 4th in a qualification match for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. He will also miss Saturday’s match against his brother’s side New England Revs. He... »

Schmid Enjoys Other Results on Good Day for Sounders
Sigi Schmid recognised the significance not just of Seattle’s results but of other results as he reveled in the three points provided courtesy of Fredy Montero’s late winner. For about six weeks, the triumvirate of San Jose Earthquakes, Toronto FC and Colorado Rapids have been occupying the slots above and around that vital eight... »
Roll on Colombian
Sounders 2 : 1 Chicago Fire MLS Full Table Fredy Montero was Sounders double goal hero as he netted both in a come from behind victory for 36,386 jubilant spectators. Tyson Wahl, deputising for the suspended Leo Gonzalez, provided a superb cross for his opener in the 36th minute. And it was the consistently excellent Nate... »
Hanauer on Ljungberg – Diplomacy and Wisdom Reign
Earlier this week, the Seattle soccer press core, including our own Ron Lamb, quizzed Sounders General Manager Adrian Hanauer about a sensitive subject, that of his former Designated Player Freddie Ljungberg. With Ljungberg due to return with his new club Chicago Fire on Saturday, the questions gave Hanauer a chance to reflect, albeit with his... »
Zak is Back. Steve to Make 18
Sigi Schmid talked about Freddie Ljungberg probably exactly the right amount but was at pains to stress that Chicago Fire have other players. Good ones and in form ones. Calen Carr and Patrick Nyarko are both hitting a streak of form after injuries. Marco Pappa is the club’s top scorer from midfield. Talking... »
BEST CASE SCENARIO: Houston, We Have a Hopecast.
The people have now spoken and they have said “Houston, we have a Hopecast‘. In voting the Dynamo to beat Colorado, the Rapids stay at 28 points in the updated ‘hopecasted’ table, with Houston Dynamo moving up to 26. Another very full weekend of MLS fixtures lies in front of the USA’s growing number of... »
Grammatrain Music Video to Premiere Saturday
Several hundred Sounders fans will finally get to see the music video they helped create on Saturday. The music video for “The Last Sound” by Seattle based band Grammatrain will premiere during the Sounders FC pregame show on KONG-TV (ch. 6/16) this Saturday, August 28 prior to the Sounders FC vs. Chicago Fire... »
Sounders Legends Pay Tribute to Jimmy Conway
With the success of football in the Pacific Northwest at a high with one MLS side about to become three, it seems timely to look back at the pioneers, the men who started it all. This week Portland Timbers are honouring a legend in Oregon football and staged a testimonial match for the former Republic... »

Sigi Downplays Ljungberg’s Return
Sensible stuff from coach this morning, and this is a man who knows a thing or two about emotion. We agree totally that Blaise Nkufo is looking more like a Sounder and less like a guest player with every game. He and Sanna Nyassi put a few decent combinations together last night. Is it... »
Sounders Will Host US Open Cup Final

BEST CASE SCENARIO: Time to Nail Some Coffins?
Welcome back to BEST CASE SCENARIO, the series that is to impartial journalism what professional darts is to beauty contests. In this series, we hope to advance the cause of blatant propaganda by predicting or should we say ‘praydicting’ results that offer the best case scenarios for Sounders FC’s play-off hopes. Then we post what... »
