Sounders FC practice, 10-30-09

Posted by Jose Romero

The starters and most players from last night were finished after only about 40 minutes, but the reserves played a 60-minute game against a team made up mostly of Seattle Wolves.
Michael Fucito played for both teams at different times and scored a goal for each side.

Tyrone Marshall told me that backup goalkeeper Terry Boss inadvertently hit him in the back of the right leg during practice Wednesday, and that caused Marshall's knee to buckle and the ligament to be strained. Marshall was held out of drills Friday but it sounds like he expects to be ready for next Sunday's game.

Sounders FC gets the weekend off and comes back to work Monday and Tuesday, takes Wednesday off and practices Thursday and Friday.

Coach Sigi Schmid was asked about the crowd last night and any difference felt with a couple of thousand more folks in the seats.

"I thought it was louder. I thought the fans were really into it. You could definitely feel the buzz of the stadium. The opening game, there was a tremendous buzz, the game against FC Dallas had a great buzz. Not that any game is bad for us, but this game was right up there with those two games."

@ carella, Crowds? Do you mean like the 33000+ that cheered the Sounders to a win over FC Dallas after being down 0-1 a week or so ago? Or...  Posted on October 30, 2009 at 3:23 PM by Driving is a Privilege. Jump to comment
they need to open up all the seats in the entire stadium, they will sell out.  Posted on October 30, 2009 at 4:01 PM by Jesus Shuttlesworth. Jump to comment
too bad the sounders can't seem to take advantage of the big crowds. it seems the big crowds pump up the opposing teams more than the sounders.  Posted on October 30, 2009 at 2:51 PM by carella211. Jump to comment
