Hey Everybody
What a big win for the team on the road at last years MLS champions. What a big feel good win for Sigi to win at his old club. Most important is the three points that get us that much closer to a playoff position.
We played well, but in the end we road our luck a little. Columbus had a great run dating back to last season without losing at home. They were not about to let that go without a fight. We got a little lucky in the first half with a good shot off the post. Second half that luck continued with Tyrone making a great overhead clearance off the line. The next piece of luck was the missed penalty. In the end, lots of balls thrown into our box, but we did what was needed to keep the clean sheet and preserve the three points.
Once again, the club stepped up and chartered a flight for us so we would have a direct flight. Again we rewarded the gesture with a victory. I was giving Adrian a hard time after the game telling him that they needed to keep the streak alive and charter until we lose. Only half joking, but it would be great to have our own plane for every game. Maybe in the near future, one can hope.
No game this weekend, so a good week to recharge the batteries. Doesn’t look like any new injury worries. Lets keep all the players fit and coming into good form just in time for the last two games and into the playoffs. I will try and answer some of your questions this week.

Great save diving to your right late in the game, Kasey! It was nice to see the backline stay very compact esp in the second half and come up with big clearances when we needed them. We were due for some luck and it couldn’t have come in a bigger game all season. Hope it continues…all the way to the MLS Cup!
imo, that tyrone save was the play of the year for the sounders. we really needed to come away from this match with points, and if that ball went in, who knows what would have happened. it’s great to see everyone give their all out there and leave it all out on the pitch. as a fan, that’s all you can really ask, and us sounder fans get that. thank you!
Its about time one of these games bounced our direction. We have finished in draws or loses from these before… glad that ball finally spun our way.
