Some Seattle Sounders news has 2 players missing the remainder of the season, they sign a new Keeper, and salaries are released. Seattle can also clinch a playoff spot with some help. One last bit of news is that Seattle had a scary find on their trip recently.
50/50 tackles happen all the time during a game of soccer, a shoulder to shoulder, a tackle on the ball, or two players going for a header, but when you have a keeper playing a ball out of his box and a forward running full speed it can turn into something different all together as was witnessed over the weekend in England when Fulham's Keeper challenged Blackburns attacker.
