Ask the Sounders

3:23 PM Mon, Jul 20, 2009 |

If you've always wanted to ask a pro athlete a question, but never could? Well now is your chance to do it. We call it "Ask the Sounders." It's your opportunity to ask the coaches or players a question about the game or anything else. We will take the top 3 questions. So put your questions in the "Comments" section.


This will be for Sunday July 26th. We'll "Ask the Sounders" your questions sometime this week for Sunday show. Sounders FC Weekly airs Sundays at 10:35 p.m. on KONG-TV.

How did the groundskeepers get all that natural grass onto the field for the match against Chelsea, and more importantly, how did they get it to stay down despite the slide tackles and everything else that happens during a soccer game?

For Kasey Keller:

Captain, what did the side (team) learn about themselves and the Beautiful Game of soccer during the Chelsea FC friendly on July 18, 2009 ?

Note to Kong-6-16-tv: As always feel free to edit for clarity or length etc.

A question for any player:

How exhausting is it to play an additional 30 minutes of double overtime after 90+ minutes of regulation game time such as on July 21, 2009 U.S. Open Cup match against the excelent Houston Dynamo?


Thank you,


Leo Henton

Ever give any thought to wearing the headgear like Chelsea's Petr Cech wore?

To any Sounders management:

Where can we express our grievance as fans of Sounders FC regarding often times incorrect and maybe subjective officiating? Seems like coaches and players are fined if they express their opionion on certain bad call. Can fans write in to the MLS officiating governing body?

The red carding of Ljungberg absolutely drove me off the edge. Anyone who has watched soccer enough can tell forwards running through 3 defenders get bumped with an elbow/shoulder cannot possibly orchestrate a "dive" yellow, let alone a red. This is on top of all the Keller, Montero, Jaqua, Riley, Marshall red cards. None of them are dirty players. It made the Sounders FC appears to be a dirty playing team on record, it's not fair.

Is MLS officials biased on expansion team? The bad calls resulting in red cards are robbing the value of our tickets since it completely changes the fabric of the game and we are deprived of watching the star players we love.

Is there any coaches' review replay to appeal the bad calls in the horizon? We usually have many TV cameras and 30K pairs of eyes on any particular play.

I can see some of the officiating referees not even seem to be able to chase down close enough to every play in MLS games. How can they make the best judgement on a critical play?

Fans are upset, angry and pissed with wrong calls.

For Sigi
Why does the goal keeper routinely not go out to knock the ball away with his fists or hands? He is almost always right down inside the box, leaving the defenders to clear the ball when he can do it more effectively. Are you coaching him to stay down inside or is that Keller's decision?

How do you decide who gets the golden scarf at every match?
