Chelsea Battle Seattle Sounders

The lads are looking tan and ravishing...


Freddie Ljungberg was on hand for Seattle, but Petr Cech was looking confident and comfortable with the Sounders offense.


On his Chelsea debut, Danny Sturridge scored in the first ten minutes.


Oh no, Sheva. Get a haircut. Seriously.


The stadium was packed with one of its highest attendances.


In the second half, Frank scored the second goal off a beautiful cross from Nicolas Anelka.


Carlos Ancelotti must be best pleased with their performance.

Freddie Ljungberg to Seattle Sounders

The former Swedish international and West Ham drop-out will be looking to sign a £12.8 million, two-year deal with the newly created Seattle Sounders club in the MLS. His move will be confirmed today during a scheduled press conference at the club’s headquarters. Ljungberg looks to be enjoying his time in Washington state. He told Expressen, the Swedish tabloid how much he’s enjoying his time in Seattle:

"I like it here, this feels great. It's perfect, I love it here and this feels great."

We get it. You’re playing football. Yay. I’m sure the excessive rain and Starbucks on every corner are not that much different than London life anyway.
