Speaking of playoffs, am I to assume that the eligibility rules stay the same despite the expanding league? Still top 8 from each conference? Those Atlanta kits look sick but they'll never be complete until they get the Coca-cola sponsorship.

Guess it'd be Draft Kings or whatever over here.

Oh yeah, I'm not under any illusions about him, he knows his role is to go right up to that line and see what he can get away with. He's no leg snapper, but I can see why players would be annoyed with him. He's also perhaps the best defensive mid in MLS and is way more than a tactical fouler, the dude can really lock the field down. So yeah he owns, but I'm sure I'd hate him if he were on any other team. poo poo, I think I've written almost this same schpiel about Richard Sherman. Hmm.

I agree about the pickup, seems like a good move but I feel like the Sounders need depth at fullback more than anything else. This will be easier with Fisher and Evans back, but they could use some help all the same.

Welp. Here comes the annual call-up bug. Between injuries and call-ups the Sounders are left with one (1) forward on the roster, international superstar Seki Akedoya(!?). They will be playing at Columbus, who just lost to Toronto 5-0. MLS can be crazy so I will be happy to be wrong, but I get the sense this game will have all the goal scoring action of that Huddersfield/Reading playoff. Perhaps I will spend Wednesday evening watching paint dry instead.

After relying for years on Deuce and Obafemi as our only scoring options, it's fun to feel like we have genuine questions about who should start for the Sounders. Lots of young talent coming up, the future is bright. Still one DP slot to fill, and I have no idea what they'll do.

Rumors flying that the Sounders have managed to land Derlis Gonzalez from Dynamo Kiev after all. Nothing confirmed yet, but the current theory is that Kiev is waiting until after their UCL qualifier Wednesday to complete the sale. https://www.sounderatheart.com/sounders-trades-transfers-rumors/2017/7/24/16022672/derlis-gonzalez-sounders-dynamo-kiev Gonzalez is a 23 year old Paraguayan international who would slot right into the winger position the Sounders need to complete the team. If they can pull this off, holy poo poo what a roster that is on paper. Starting 11 most likely would be: Frei, Jones, Marshall, Torres, Leerdam, Roldan, Alonso, Gonzalez, Lodeiro, Dempsey, Morris.

bewbies posted:I do not understand why SKC did this trade. Those cash incentives are like a whole new team for SKC. It may not be much in the transfermarkt world, but that's a poo poo ton in MLS. They can pay down other DPs and bring in new guys from Europe/South American while the window is still open. That's what Seattle is looking to do with Ozzie Alonso and Derlis Gonzalez. Kind of weird timing given that they're contending for a high seed, so one would think they have a target or targets in mind.

Sporting Gijon attacking mid Victor Rodriguez linked to Sounders, rumors that a transfer is imminent. https://www.sounderatheart.com/sounders-trades-transfers-rumors/2017/7/26/16034168/victor-rodriguez-sporting-gijon-rumor This theoretically would be in addition to Derlis Gonzalez, who was subbed out late in Dynamo Kiev's 3-1 win over Young Boys today and is rumored to be flying to the US to sign a contract early in the morning. Not sure how Seattle would take two new international players at once or where they'd fit into the lineup without selling someone, but MLS gonna MLS.

Those hires are both loving cool, Bob Bradley owns and deserves another chance, and I love me some Sigi (although I wish it was a team I liked better than LAG). And here I am F5ing Dynamo Kiev news. Cmon Derlis! Apparently he's staying with Kiev at least through the second leg of the UCL qualifier, which is 8/2.

B.B. Rodriguez posted:Hey guys. Did you see us not suck tonight? Because I sure did. Did you see Jermaine Jones play like the Jermaine Jones he thinks he is? I did. We also held onto the ball and passed it. Gyasi played better than he has all year. Man, if that's Zardes at his best this year then I'd hate to watch him at his worst. He looked awful. I keep telling myself that a road point in LA is a fine result, but LA is not good this year and the Sounders looked so disappointingly limp with their starters after being so direct without them. Maybe they just need some desperation to take some risks? It seems when the full strength squad is out there this year their attack is entirely crosses from Joevin Jones, and it never seems to do anything dangerous. There is definitely something wrong with Lodeiro too, and I don't know what it is. He lacks that creative spark he showed last year. Ah well, the point helps and rumors are the team is making a signing this week. Here's hoping for a big splash.

I like MLS. It's fun to have a team that I can consider my own because of my hometown. However, it is important to understand that this is still a very young league. Maybe soccer fandom is no longer in its infancy in the US, but it is still definitely on childhood. Looking at the early history of the big 4 leagues, it's easy to see that big and often undesirable changes are on the horizon. We may end up seeing a league that has to contract as teams fold. We may end up seeing the league fold altogether, or merge with another league. After my last trip to Seattle, though, seeing the Sounders gear outnumbering everything but Seahawks stuff, I'm pretty confident that pro soccer is here to stay in the US. How quickly it grows and whether that continues to be something called MLS is certainly up in the air. It may indeed all depend on the next TV deal. \/\/\/hell,

Just before the deadline the Sounders nabbed something called Calum Mallace, which is somehow not a semipro wrestler. Based on the amused reaction from Impact fans this news is, uh, not super positive. And, no Derlis Gonzales. Still a strong and deep lineup, but a bit of a disappointment after all that hype.

Jack2142 posted:Yeah as a guy from Seattle I understand the bullshit of an owner who is desperate to move at all costs. Had the same thought, this is really Clay Bennett-ish. God drat it, this is awful. But the only thing to say is, don't give in, don't give him a loving cent for a new stadium. If the league is dumb enough to let him move then he can watch his team wither on the vine. Cities are finally getting wise to this scam but it'll take a couple more LA Chargers-style fiascos before owners start getting the hint that moving away from a team's history is an idiotic idea. Or maybe they never will and this whole thing will fall apart. ShutteredIn posted:He was. His dad is Jay Precourt, an oil and natural gas investor.

Crazy Ted posted:Good lord: https://deadspin.com/seattle-sounders-fans-are-hopping-mad-at-beer-1820945875 Deuce Juice was a fun name, but they used a pic of Dempsey on the can so that was a quick C&D from the team. Seems like it's just a few ECS douches up in arms about this, very likely the same people responsible for flipping off TV cameras and yelling at the team for commercializing them. It's pretty stupid, since they're essentially an adjunct to a commercial operation, the Sounders, but Seattlites gonna Seattle. Incidentally, Three Magnets is in my hometown--nice place, but the reason for the name is some truly kooky new age bullshit. I grew up in a weird place.
