My First Visit to Jeld-Wen Field in Portland

This past Saturday I went to what many Seattle Sounders fans might refer to as the lion’s den — Jeld-Wen Field in Portland, OR. (OK, that’s probably not exactly the phrase that would be used, but hey, my mom might read this!) It was a gorgeous sunny day and the …

Sounders Keep Clean Sheet and Beat Dynamo

It wasn’t the prettiest of matches — fouls, floppi- I mean “gamesmanship” (from both sides), a deflected goal and an arguably soft penalty call. But Seattle Sounders managed to keep the previously undefeated Houston Dynamo scoreless while scoring 2 goals partway through the first half. The 2-0 win gives the …
