I have tries a couple times (although not lately until today) to post comments with my predictions. Today was one of those. It appears I have not mastered the interents enough to get it right as my Sounders loss of 2 - 0 prediction didn't make it on the previous post by Jonathon. Goal scores obviously don't matter so whatever. I'll figure this out
That said, glad the boys proved me wrong tonight. The first 25 - 30 min were great. We were moving with and without the ball. Midfield was solid, Nyassi was a beast, Montero was all over the place, and even Stugis look adequate. I am excited about the Nkufo- Monetro connection, looked solid today. El Flaco was fun to watch and will bring some interesting looks to the midfield. (BTW, looks like we avoided the 3rd DP fee due to how things fell out but am I still not sure about that one).
With FeddyL gone I am thinking the team has been more cohesive. they are playing hard and looking like the Sounders of old. While I love what F10 did for the Sounders season 1, I am glad he has moved on. The youth movement we have going is great. Having El Flaco for the next 18 months will be interesting. Rumors of Montero becoming our 3rd DP have started. I am not sure he is worth that but based on his play since the WC break, he is gaining my love.
On to San Salvador (guess we are playing there due to stadium limitations of the opponents stadium). I am hoping we put out a solid team and keep the charge going for the International cup (Keller will play Jon and Troy). That said, we are in the playoff mix again and need to keep that going strong as well.
Bring on Houston....another victory in the West...come on boys. (BTW - I will pick them to lose since they always do the opposite of what I pick)
