This one hurts...think LeToux was the only thing from France that I liked, well, except for French Fries but aren't they from Belgium or something? And maybe the wine...and bread and cheese... Anyway, I digress. This is a very sad occasion for any Sounders fan, particularly those of us familiar with the team in the USL days. I will never forget Seba's all around efforts and tremendous work rate. While he seemed to fade as the year went, he excelled in the Open Cup run. My best Seba memory is the Open Cup match against Dynamo at Starfire. There was a group of us at the corner where Seba and Zak literally drew up a "give and go" that was right out of the playground...those of you who were there will know exactly the play I'm talking about. It was a thing of beauty.
Thinking about it, he will probably do really well in Philly. He seemed to defer to Freddie almost to a fault so coming into a club where he will be expected to carry more responsibility may bring out the best in him. Here's hoping he gets a better contract there. I know that he will be the one Philly player that I will actually cheer for on opening day next year.
