I'm watching the Sounders game right now. They're playing in Chicago, and the Fire fans are chanting the music from Tetris. It took me a while to figure it out, but there's no mistaking that that's what it is.

Exciting first half in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal! The US got a lot of chances, but haven't yet found the back of the net. Tied 0-0.

Landon Donovan to Clint Dempsey, and the US leads 1-0!

Testing out my new HDMI hookup for my computer by streaming the Seattle Sounders-Monterrey CONCACAF Champions League match to my TV. Terry Boss, the backup goalie, is starting tonight. He looks good, which is encouraging as he'll be the starter next year when Kasey Keller retires.

The Sounders are having a good season, only six points back of LA for the lead in the Western Conference and the Supporters Shield, but they've got a couple tough games coming up against East-leading Columbus and the slumping but very dangerous Real Salt Lake.

Tonight's match is a perfect example of why even if you have a lead late in a match, you can never let up on the gas against the Seattle Sounders, who scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to beat San Jose 2-1.

They filled CenturyLink field, 65,000 strong, for Kasey Keller's final regular season match, yet again proving that the Sounders fans are the best in the league. The Sounders attendance numbers from last year would have put them in the top 10 in the English Premier League, and they topped those numbers this year over a month ago. That is how it's done, America; the rest of you need to step up your game.

Speaking of Keller, he played masterfully tonight, making a lot of fantastic saves that kept them in it. It's going to be really tough to be without him next year, but let's see if we can't let him go out on top by winning the MLS Cup.

**** Landon Donovan.

**** Landon Donovan.

I take it you're not a fan of Landycakes.

Mostly I just hate the Galaxy, but he has shown some tendencies toward thinking he deserves for calls to go his way because of who he is. As I've said before, he's the Sidney Crosby of soccer.
