Sounders vs. Chelsea

Above are the two goals that Chelsea scored against the Seattle Sounders. I had seats up in the nosebleed section above the corner flag at the end where Chelsea scored both of their goals. Seattle competed with Chelsea and were able to move the ball around, I thought, but boy, Chelsea's defense didn't let anything remotely close to the goal. Our only real opportunity to score came from Freddie Ljungberg's free kick where Petr Cech made a flying save.

Overall, Chelsea is a very good team. They made their goals looks so simple, coming so quick. It felt like they could score anytime they touched the ball because every single player they had on the field was capable of doing something special with the ball. The players they brought on in the second half were first team players as well (Carvalho, Ivanovic, Obi Mikel).

A good day out. The weather couldn't have been better. I only learned after the game that ESPN2 showed the game nationally. Chelsea put on a show for the country, and the Sounders didn't play too shabby either.
