Not Realio’s Ratings: The Lodeiro World Cup begins
Ed. Note: Realio isn’t able to get to ratings for the DC United match, but we can’t leave everyone hanging after the first goals and win in — * checks calendar * — one whole month! Brett drew short straw to “replace” him and has to try to pretend he knows anything about anything. Welcome to Not Realio’s Ratings. It’s amazing what a little health, a little wealth (of talent), and not overthinking the tactics can do for a team, eh?
Purgatory
Sometimes it’s depressing being a sports fan. We live and die, to whatever degree we have committed ourselves to the tribe, by the actions on and off the field of a group of people over whom we have next to no sway.

The Seattle Sounders sprung a fine surprise on everyone this morning: they’re kicking off the pre-season today with a friendly against the Tijuana U-20 side in Chula Vista, California.

Scouting Report: How to short-circuit the Houston Dynamo
The first place team in the Western Conference, Houston Dynamo (ed. note: what did I just read.), will be welcomed to CenturyLink Field by the Seattle Sounders this Sunday night. This is the second and final regular season meeting between the two teams. Houston defeated Seattle 2-1 in the season opener, behind goals from Erick Torres and Romell Quioto. Clint Dempsey scored the Sounders lone goal.
Roldan opens the scoring
Cristian Roldan, apparently the most goal-dangerous header of the ball on the team, puts the Sounders in front of Portland off a Nicolas Lodeiro corner kick. Seattle had been putting the Timbers under pressure from the beginning, with the corner coming off a dangerous Lodeiro shot saved via a tremendous effort by Jay Gleason.
Atlanta United Scouting Report: A late encounter with the enemy
The Seattle Sounders will welcome one the the league’s newest expansion teams, Atlanta United FC, on Friday night. This will be the only meeting of the season between these two clubs (unless they meet in MLS Cup).
