Around the Sound of Soccer

A few notes from the (Puget) Sound of Soccer:

*Seattle Sounders FC Technical Director Chris Henderson gets some ink from one of his former MLS club's hometown newspapers (Kansas City).

*The Arizona Sahuaros, who recently lost in overtime to the Sounders in the US Open Cup, are back on track and will be coming to Seattle in August for the USASA Nationals at Starfire.

*Tacoma Tide FC beat a team of Military players from McChord AFB and Fort Lewis 7-1 last night in the City of Destiny. A bit more, with two photos, here.

*John Fishbaugher is featured in the Redmond Reporter. The First-year Sounder is coming right along and the article does a nice job of detailing where his strengths have come from.

*The Tukwila Blog catches us up on the big All Nations Cup event the city is hosting down at Starfire.

*Have you been on the GOALSeattle.com forums lately? You'd notice the fans who are campaigning for spots on the Sounders Membership Council. Check it out.

*The Seattle University Redhawks Men have released their 2008 schedule. In the transition to Division One the Redhawks will play all but four college matches away from home. They do host the Sounders on August 19th.

*Youth soccer continues its boom in the area. West Seattle Blog reports what's happening there.

*Meanwhile at a Seattle City Council meeting the strong soccer family presence was made known again as the urgency for more fields grows throughout the Sound.

*Soccer is a big part of our lives around here, isn't it?
