OK. So obviously I can’t really provide you with any information about the history and traditions of the MLS team known as Seattle Sounders FC. After all, they haven’t even had their first game yet. Their squad right now is not even finalized and history tells us they will probably be bad. Real bad. But here’s what I can tell you about them.
Their majority owner is Hollywood producer Joe Roth, who has made some great films (Bachelor Party, Major League and Young Guns), but he has also subjected audiences to some terrible films (I would rather get a root canal than watch The Jerky Boys Movie again). Also, comedic actor Drew Carey of The Price is Right is a minority owner. This team is more Hollywood than the Galaxy.

The expansion Seattle Sounders have acquired two-time All-Star defender Tyrone Marshall from Toronto FC for cash. The Sounders announced the deal Tuesday. It will bring the 34-year-old member of the Jamaican national team to Seattle for his 12th season in MLS.
Sounders coach Sigi Schmid says he values Marshall for his speed and his championship experience. Marshall was on the Los Angeles Galaxy‘s MLS title teams in 2002 and ’05. Los Angeles traded him to Toronto midway through the 2007 season.
This is a great addition for Seattle, who are poised to have the best season of any MLS expansion team.

It’s official. Sigi Schmid will not return as the Columbus Crew head coach in 2009. The Crew confirmed that Schmid had rejected their latest offer and the MLS coach of the year is looking for a new job.
Columbus Crew President & General Manager Mark McCullers issued the following statement on Sigi Schmid’s status as Crew head coach:
“Sigi Schmid has formally declined our last contract offer and will not be returning as head coach of the Columbus Crew. Sigi was the ideal person to turn around our competitive program and create a championship mentality within our club. As a result, we are well positioned moving forward and toward continued success. We respect his desire to seek the next challenge and wish him nothing but the best.”

Today was the MLS expansion draft and the Seattle Sounders picked up a couple of good players to play alongside Sebastien Le Toux, Kasey Keller, Freddie Llungberg and Sanna Nyassi .
Each of the other 14 MLS teams were allowed to protect 11 players and Seattle then went ahead and selected one player each from 10 of the 14 MLS teams. The four teams with no players selected were the Colorado Rapids, Chivas USA, D.C. United and FC Dallas.
With their first pick, Seattle picked Houston Dynamo forward Nate Jaqua. Jaqua was is a good target man and he will benefit from playing alongside Ljungberg and LeToux.

MLS‘s newest team, Seattle Sounders FC, is making a lot of noise this season even though they haven’t even played their first match yet. I discussed Seattle‘s first big signing here. Now, they’ve got themselves a Designated Player too, but it isn’t Thierry Henry, who many pundits thought they may be able to persuade to play in the Great Pacific Northwest.
Nope, it was a former teammate of his @ Arsenal though, Freddie Ljungberg.

The Seattle Sounders are gearing up for its first season in MLS next year and it looks like they will have a bog announcement next week, according to MLS Rumors, that they are signing Freddie Ljungberg as their over the hill (sorry designated ) Player.
According to Goal Seattle the official announcement will be made this coming Tuesday.
Ljungberg is not the player that dazzled at Arsenal. He is an over the hill, often injured player who is a shell of his former self. I love the press reports that say that Ljungberg is a free agent after having ended his contract with London club West Ham end in August. West Ham United paid Ljungberg $3 million to simply go away.
