Sounders gaffer Sigi Schmid may have agreed with me that we need to shore up the left back position. Tyson Wahl is not quite the answer. So, the Sounders have signed Costa Rican defender Leonardo Gonzalez, apparently for that position, though he has versatility to play at different positions. My guess is left back.
There's nothing happening this weekend with the Rave Green. Next game is the US Open Cup quarterfinal against the Kansas City Lizards at Starfire Tuesday night. Brad Evans got the call up to join the US team this weekend at CONCACAF qualifying at Qwest. Let's hope he gets some quality field time.
I'll be watching youth soccer this weekend (God help me!).
Also in the MLS, Landon Donovan puts out a big, flaming welcome-home-bastard message for LA Galactico teammate David Bowie...er, David Beckham. I can't keep all these superstars apart. Say what you want about Becks, but at least we have an answer to the trivia question: "What was the MLS's most expensive mistake?"
Oh, and over at Emirates Way, the team's signing activity has hit a fever pitch, with absolutely noone being signed in the last week. It is rumoured though, that an aggressive steroids program has doubled the strength of midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott. This rumour has been quasi-confirmed with Walcott besting Portsmouth striker and professional circus tent pole Peter Crouch in a best-of-seven arm wrestling contest (though Walcott later lost to Crouch in the Robot Dance competition).
