This is supposed to be mostly a vacation day for me, but I’m checking with the Sounders for any updates on Ljungberg or Montero or the arrival of the new defender from Costa Rica. If I hear back on any of that, I’ll post.

Meanwhile, here’s my story from today’s paper, which is mostly on Ljungberg and the team returning its attention to the regular season and San Jose.

Here’s the Earthquakes coverage from the San Jose Mercury News.

Here’s the Quakes official website.

And here’s a link to information on the Heritage Cup, which will be awarded Sunday.

Also, with me mostly away today, feel free to use the comments section as a forum for any soccer info you’d like to discuss.
