GM Hanauer discusses GKs, Rosales as a DP, Cascadia plans, CCL and more

(Are you disappointed at all in tickets sales for March 7?) “No. I can’t be disappointed in our ticket sales, ever. We’ve obviously blown the doors off of what is sort of typical in soccer and in our league. Again, when you add up the number of tickets that we sell throughout the year and the number of games that we’ve played, at some point there’s a limit to what people are capable of spending money on, are capable of devoting their time to. I think this tournament is certainly still not in the forefront of people’s minds in terms of the way a professional sports team participates in the league. Over time, we’ll build it up. We expect 20-plus thousand fans there and they’ll be hardcore fans, too, because they’re the ones that are probably a little bit more savvy about what this whole things means.”

A stop and chat with Jeff Parke

Sounders FC defender Jeff Parke has had a wild January so far. He got called into U.S. men’s national team camp as a replacement early on and then earned his first cap in Wednesday’s 1-0 win in Panama.

He’s back with the Sounders now and put in a training session with the group at the VMAC on Saturday. Afterward he chatted with reporters and here’s the transcript of that conversation: read the rest here.

Here is the 17-minute interview and discussion that MLS ExtraTime radio did with Steve Zakuani. Topics discussed were his return to training, regaining fitness, his injury and recovery progress, the aftermath of the injury, speaking with Brian Mullan, words of wisdom from Thierry Henry, supplemental draftee Jason Banton, and his hopes of a return to MLS by this summer. Oh, and how he raps sometimes :-D

Here’s the transcript of Zakuani’s expectations for his return (via Joshua Mayers, Seattle Times)

“I’m pretty confident I will return this season. When that will be? I don’t know. In my mind I’ve definitely stayed away from giving a timeline and saying, ‘It’s going to be this day and that day,’ just because I’ve wanted to go week by week, month by month. Right now we’re in January. March might be a bit too soon. But if you’re talking late May, early June, do I think I’ll be able to play? I think I’ll be very close, if not ready, by that time, just because of the way it’s gone.

“(I’m) definitely making progress and getting to that last final hurdle, which can be the hardest part because you’re now just fine-tuning some of the smallest things. Obviously it’s a high level to get back into an actual game. It’s a different proposition to just training or running on a treadmill. I’ll get there, but I think I’m aiming for like the summer, sometime in the summer, and we’ll see how that goes. But yeah, I’ll be back at some point I’m sure.”
