I will probably talk about Sounders and other ⚽ and life as a Seattle expat living in Amsterdam. Oh and F1. Masters TFT player, most every set.

The Chris Wood show for less than half the price has been a joy to experience this season, ride it out and use that money elsewhere.

Concacaf's YouTube is pretty reliable the last few years, here's the link for the game before the Sounders play: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9KR...

And to clarify, the Sounders don't sell Obed for $10M this summer. They loan him for a $5M fee with an obligatory $5M purchase clause next January.
Double max GAM!

I think this looks worse, but generally the same.

Honestly, I'm pretty happy that he's likely to get like 3,000 minutes this year as long as he stays healthy. That wasn't going to happen in Seattle.
And he needs those minutes to figure out what he is going to be.
Not ideal for the Sounders, but better for the Atencio for sure.

Ozzie allowed Sigi to play a 4-2-3-2 for about 6 years.
And it's just a real advantage to have twelve players on the field at all times because Ozzie was the first 2 in that formation by himself for a half decade or so.

Without really digging into it, the biggest oversight might be 2009 Freddie Ljungberg or 2011 Brek Shea/Brad Davis.
The list via Wiki is a trip down memory lane, a certain current Sounders dad was first team midfield in 2010 and also league MVP.

Good work, Janna made 4.5 unplayable. Keep up the good work.

I had something come up last minute, I think there was a stream from the opponent, but it was paid membership I believe.

No, it's just a really soft second yellow.

It helps that I don't have a car.

I believe the director actually put a not insignificant amount of his own money to make this insane movie happen.

It takes a village, every little bit of relevance helped.
And taking away something like ETR might seem like nothing, but this matters.

Further: I think everyone in a suit forgets that what saved MLS, what made it so interesting is not Beckham or any player. It was Portland (and Seattle). It was finding cities with avid, grassroots fanbases. National success comes from authenticity, which is often more localized and niche.
