Sabario to the Rescue

Apr 10

Posted by Mike in Alvaro Saborio, Audio, Photos, Post-game, Seattle Sounders | 3 Comments

Real Salt Lake showed their mettle tonight against the Seattle Sounders and reminded 19,970 people at Rio Tinto Stadium why they are the reigning MLS champs.  Just when it looked like Seattle may walk out of Sandy with an against the grain win, Real got a wonderful goal from Alvaro Saborio in the 94th minute.

Real opened the game with pressure and threatened early with Findley hitting Keller with a shot in the 3rd minute of play.  Salt Lake continued to pressure and was looking like they were off to a good start when Seattle scored against the run of play with a counterattack in the 11th minute.  Fredy Montero received the ball near midfield for Seattle and played an Read the rest of this entry »

Here is the audio from Dave Checkett’s interview with Bill and Spence yesterday on KALL 700 (3 parts).   Of course, the topic du jour?  The CBA agreement.

Most depressing point?  When asked the likelihood that the season would start on time, he replied “less than 50%”.

AUDIO: Jason Kreis on Montz Podcast

Mar 5

Posted by kirsoccer in Audio, Jason Kreis | No Comments

Jared Montz is a former MLSer who played with the Chicago Fire. I follow his stuff and it’s always top-notch. He has a blog, runs a soccer academy, and does a fantastic podcast.

This time, he interviews Jason Kreis.  You may be interested in Kreis’ response about him getting the coaching job.  The discussion about why winning the Cup was so fulfilling to both him and Dave Checkett’s is also interesting.

Here is the preseason roster:

You’ll notice that Dutch winger, Rachid El Khalifi, is listed on the preseason roster, but KIR has learned that El Khalifi is back in Holland looking for other opportunities.  This should come as no surprise as we first learned that he was interested in this back in December.

Rachid El Khalifi: “He’s a little bit of an older player, and may want to play a larger role were he to come back. So I know that he’s exploring all of his options right now. He’s under contract, but with foreign guys we try not to be jerks about it. If they say they want to start somewhere, and want to leave – we try to accommodate them. Those guys may choose to go back home, and get more time at home rather than staying with us and being on the bench. And that’s the decision that Rachid’s making right now.”

Thanks to a heads-up from TheOriginalWinger, here is an interview with Rancid guitarist Lars Frederiksen.  He discusses among other things his love for Millwall, the fact that he’s a San Jose Earthquakes season ticket holder and his planned attendance at the MLS Cup in Seattle.  As you’ll recall KIR broke the news that he and teammate Branden Steineckart will be in attendance.
