MLS Kick off!!!!! A study of two teams.
By: Scott | March 20th, 2009Wow what a first game of the season! Unfortunately real life has been interferring with my footie watching. From the highlights I saw it looked like the roles should have been reversed. It looked like Seattle should have been the team that almost made it to the promised land last year. Zigi should run a clinic on how to build a team in the MLS. He went out and got a young striker and paired him with a veteran who has been in the league awhile. This way Jaqua could ease Montero into the league and keep him in check. He went out and got an experienced goalkeeper in Kasey Keller. And last but not least he got his poster boy. I mean lets be honest here. Mr. Lundberg has his best soccer days behind him. But he does one thing….HE PUTS BUTTS IN THE SEATS! Lets face it every soccer mom in the seattle metropolitan area asked for Santa to bring their seasons to them in their stockings. If Zigi gets some good soccer out of him in return it will be worth the investment. It looks like Zigi is getting the best out of his players. He took what he had available to him and molded a system around what he had to work with.
Now how about them Hoops. We have a mix match bunch of players that really havent had a chance to gel. This is evidenced in the number of goals we have given up in the preseason. Our midfield is weak. We got the number 10 that the bus driver was looking for but how good that pans out depends on how fast David Ferriera pans out. We are still getting beat like red headed step children on set pieces. The locker room, according to the players, is a wonderful place now. The bus driver says he is looking for more accountablity from the players. Seems like hes got that now. What is going to happen if FCD drops a couple of games? He’s got the players that he wanted. He’s got the system. Life is lovely at the Hut.
It will be interesting to see the beginning of the season for the Hoops. I suggest the bus driver fire up the TIVO and see what Zigi is doing. I can only hope that the bus driver has the Hoops are as prepared as the Sounders were tonight.
