jenni_blog | TORONTO VS SEATTLE THIS SUNDAY

I have tickets to see Toronto FC play Seattle Sounders this Sunday. I am excited about this on so many levels! First, Seattle is an expansion team, whose first year in the MLS (last year) was so successful that they made it to the semi-finals in the playoffs. Second, Seattle has a player named Fredy Montero, a Colombian striker whose career I have been following since he was 18 years old and playing in Colombia. (Everyone who knows me knows I ADORE Colombian football. It's wide open, attacking, and all teams usually play in a 4-2-2-2 formation. The players are technically gifted and fast.) Seattle also has Freddie Ljungberg, late of Arsenal, who has been the team's inspiration since he came on board. The two Freddies, as they are called, are Seattle's best, most exciting players. I can't wait to see them. Oh yes, and the team is partly owned by Drew Carey, the American comedian.

Anyway, some pics of Seattle vs Real Salt Lake from a couple of weeks ago. Seattle is in the green kit. Of note, Real Salt Lake won the MLS championship last year and also has some great players.

Freddie Ljungberg!

Fredy Montero!

Jhon Kennedy Hurtado is another Seattle player from Colombia.

Pat Noonan of Seattle vs Alvaro Saborio, one of my favourite Costa Rican players. He was recently with Bristol City in the Coca-Cola Championship in England.
