Sigi Schmid was introduced as the Head Coach of Seattle Sounders FC on Tuesday. Click here for the official announcement from Seattle's website. Seattle is not playing around. With a DP in Freddie Ljunberg, a veteran GK in Kasey Keller, young prospects in Sebastien Le Toux and Sanna Nyassi, as well as a solid group of players picked up in the expansion draft; Seattle and Sigi Schmid look to have a much better foundation for success than Chivas USA, TFC, and RSL had. Oh yea, don't forget that they already have about 18,000 season ticket holders lined up, not bad for a new franchise. What do you think of the signing? I have to say it's looking like a pretty good move right now.

Sigi Schmid Named Coach of Seattle
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Well That Didn't Take Long
Sigi's gone (well at least off to Seattle), Parkhurst is gone, and so are Davino and Marinelli (probably not in the way that they had hoped). The annual exodus of players from MLS has begun and is certainly not done. Some players like Alejandro Bedoya, may even skip MLS and go straight to Europe. But do not fret my friends, with the transfer window opening at the beginning of the New Year, and the 2009 Superdraft coming up we are sure to get a new influx of talent in our favorite domestic league.
