every season since he took over Craig Waibel has given me cause for concern - and every season the Sounders have proven me wrong. we'll see how this pans out - but if we lose Vargas AND Rothrock while PDLV is out on injury I'm gonna freak out man
Craig Waibel was asked by @elrolonw.bsky.social about his level of concern at the possibility of losing Obed Vargas on a free.
“I mean, you'd have to ask if it happens, but I don't view things the same way you do.”
Pressed on follow-up, he says “I'm not concerned. He's a very good Sounders player.”

But travel bans imposed by the U.S. government mean many fans will not be able to attend their nation’s games in the United States next summer.

Kempes Tekiela continues his run of being on the scoresheet in every game of the #USL-1 Playoffs to double the lead for the hosts.

Since the 1980s, transportation crews have used artillery including a recoilless rifle, an M60 tank and a World War II-era Howitzer that was loaned from the United States Army to shoot snow loose in the mountain. (Mitchell Roland / Spokesman-Review)
State workers won't have to use a Howitzer to control avalanches at Snoqualmie Pass
Washington transportation officials will no longer rely on a collection of artillery to shoot loose snow on Snoqualmie Pass to safely trigger controlled avalanches above Interstate 90.
