The Seattle Sounders entered the return leg of their CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal matchup with Mexican power UNAL Tigres down just a solitary goal and facing a reserve team sent north by the Liga MX leaders. At home at Century Link Field and with most of their starters available, there …

Harlem Shake Videos Have Taken Over Soccer
Maybe you’re already sick of the memed Harlem Shake videos and their pointless pointlessness. That’s too bad, because there’s no sign (yet) that the wave of vids is cresting any time soon. What was once a bunch of random college bros “dancing” in dorm rooms has now hit the world …
30 Minutes Of ‘American Football’, The Forthcoming Seattle Sounders Doc
Last month we shared with you eight dramatic minutes from an upcoming documentary by Levy Films on the Seattle Sounders called “American Football.” This month, via Sounder At Heart, we share a full 30 minutes of a rough cut of the film. Levy hopes to have the final version out …
New Sounders Doc ‘American Football’ Looks Fantastic
Here are eight minutes of footage for an upcoming Seattle Sounders documentary “American Football” that makes me angry. Mostly because there’s only eight minutes of it. Credit to SF at The Offside Rules, who is the reigning king of finding any film on American soccer that exists on the interwebz. …
The Wizard of Oz From Seattle’s Production of ‘Wicked’ Supports The Sounders
How great would it be if this thing did the commentary? Immediate ratings bump. Now that Kansas City has dumped all of the Wizard of Oz imagery, it’s pretty much fair game. And Seattle does have a player that goes by “Ozzie” (midfielder Osvaldo Alonso).
Real Salt Lake Owners Will Fly Players To Seattle In A Private Jet After USMNT Game, Including A Sounder
This is called “doing the right thing”, I think. The RSL owners, including JetBlue board member Dave Checketts (so it’s probably his jet), deserve kudos for not only hooking their own players up with a private jet so they can make Wednesday’s Sounders-RSL tilt in Seattle after playing Kansas City …
Sounders-Timbers Derby As Portrayed In An Awesome Lego Display
This, I suppose, is what the Cascadia Derby game between the Sounders and Timbers looks like in a world made of Legos. Which stadium is that? Who cares! Why are the trains going in opposite directions? It doesn’t matter! I see the Space Needle, so it must be Seattle. And …
Only in Seattle: Sounders General Manager Could Lose His Job In Fan Vote
This week Seattle Sounders fans will get a chance to vote on a simple question: Does the team’s General Manager, Adrian Hanauer, who is also a minority stakeholder in the team, get to keep his job? The polls open Sunday, Oct. 7 and will stay open until Dec. 7; Sounders fans can vote …
Check Seattle Sounders Winger Steve Zakuani’s Lyrical Skills On “Hometown Freestyle”
I’m on the record of struggling with rap done in a British accent, but honestly, Steve isn’t the worst rapper I’ve ever heard. Definitely not the worst British rapper I’ve ever heard. Last time we heard from Zak in a rap setting, he was starting his recovery from serious injury. …
In Seattle, They Wear Customized Jerseys With Commentator Arlo White’s Names On Them
Because it’s Arlo White, and Arlo White is legitimately awesome. White, formerly of the BBC, served as the voice of the Sounders for two years before moving on to be the national lead commentator for MLS on NBC Sports. At the moment, it’s hard to argue he’s not the best …
The Sounders Celebrated Cascadian Hegemony With A Massive Tifo Display
Seattle won the 2011 Cascadia Cup by being the only non-expansion team in the Pacific Northwest, as Vancouver and Portland did what expansion teams generally do and sucked hard. Nevertheless, it’s always nice when you can rub your success in the faces of your rivals, as the Sounders did before …
The 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final Was Decided By A Bunch of Terrible Penalties
It took 120 minutes and penalties to decide a winner in the 2012 U.S. Open Final in Kansas City last night, after Sporting Kansas City and the Seattle Sounders played to a 1-1 regulation tie. The penalty session wasn’t the best, as several players botched their chances in spectacular ways. …
The US Open Cup Final Is Tonight And You Should Probably Watch It
We’ve previously told you how much we at KCKRS absolutely love the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and all the crazy things that can happen in it. Well, tonight (9PM Eastern) is the Final, as Seattle looks for its record fourth-consecutive Open Cup win against host Sporting Kansas City. Arguably …
Someone Slipped “Timbers Soccer” Into a Broadcast for the Rival Sounders
Given the animosity between the Seattle Sounders and the Portland Timbers, it was only a matter of time until someone tried something like this. Instead of the local broadcast of May 23rd’s Seattle – Columbus game displaying something like “Sounders Soccer,” “Sounders-Crew Soccer” or “Major League Soccer Soccer,” it instead boasted the …
