Today is the expansion draft for the MLS and the Sounders may loose a few players, that said the Sounders gained 2 new players but unfortunately had to off load one of their mainstay players! Here are the 11 protected Sounders for Wednesday's draft, what is your thoughts of the players protected/unprotected? Ianni, Nyassi, and Nkufo are the unprotected names that pop to the front of the list.


Goals of the Week


Here is the complete list of all the unprotected players available in the expansion draft tomorrow, you could really put together a decent team with some of these players.

Something you don't see to often, a US National Team player signing a contract to play in Mexico, but that is exactly what Johnathan Borstein did and he is on his way this weekend to give it a go!


Eto'o is banned for pulling a Zidane!

ESPN has come down hard on the MLS and some of the changes that were announced over the weekend at the MLS Cup, I might tend to agree with them!!

They are calling it the closest title race in years over in England, but as everyone knows the holiday season (4 or 5 games in 14 days over X-mas and New Years) really separates the winners from the losers!
