MLS - Kansas City at Seattle

[SunDodger]

Kasey Keller played for years on the US national team and in the top leagues Europe. He is still a solid goaltender. Seattle's defense has been well organized in the back, minimizing opponents chances. They have speed on the wings and are quick to counter attack. Montero is back in the line-up and Ljungberg had a nice goal last week and appears to be getting healthier.

This is a bit of homer pick, but I like Seattle to keep the momentum going.

Seattle -0.5, -130

As soon as Keller got the red card, I knew this bet was lost. Unbelievable! I can't remember the last time I saw a goalie handle the ball outside the box. Thought they were going to award a penelty kick right there.

KC played a very patient, defensive 1st half and were countering with long balls over the top of Seattle's defense. I'm sure other teams will use a similar stratagy as Seattle is not the best possesion type team. They are much better at counter-attacking.
