Soccer nation is alive and kickin’ in Seattle. World Cup fever had folks watching games at all hours, in pubs all around town. And now the Seattle Sounders are on a four-game winning streak (did everyone see Montero and Fernandez light up the pitch on Sunday night against Houston), making them fourth in the West, tied for fifth overall in MLS, and most importantly, squarely back in playoff contention. To top it off, a late header from the newly acquired midfielder, Alvaro Fernandez, helped them advance to the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League.
So if you’re a Sounders FC fan, you won’t want to miss out on meeting defender Tyrone Marshall, the 2009 Sounders Defensive Player of the Year, and the heart of the defensive lineup. Come rub elbows in person and get an autograph at the Wallingford Branch of Seattle Bank (1227 N Allen Place) on August 11th between 5 – 6pm. Let’s go Sounders, let’s go!
