Congrats to my boy Nate for breaking his 6 game goal scoring drought!

What did you think of the offside goal not allowed??

Make your official vote for MLS Goal of the Week on MLSnet.com.

I voted for Jaqua because I think he did a lot of hard work to create his goal and it was a nice 1-2 on top of the box.

Who did you vote for?

A few days ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Seattle Sounders FC starting forward Nate Jaqua.  The Sounders are the hottest team in the MLS heading into week 4 of the season.  This being my first podcast interview I am very pumped to have such a big guest on!

In the podcast Nate and I talk about what it feels like to play in front of sold out crowds in Seattle, team chemistry, what the owners are doing differently compared to the rest of MLS, an April Fools Rookie prank, and Seattle’s chances of winning MLS Cup.   All you need to do is click the play button on the little player below and you should be good to go.  The interview is 16 minutes long.

After you hear the story on the podcast of the excellent April Fools joke that got played on the rookies in Seattle be sure and check out the pictures here.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.  What do you think of Seattle’s success on and off the field thus far this season?  How great was that April Fools joke?  Do you think they can win MLS Cup?  How many goals do you think Nate will score this year?  Please feel free to share your thoughts below in the comments section.

**This was my first podcast.  Right now I am not sure how to do it, but I hope to have the Jared Montz Soccer Podcasts set up sometime soon so you can subscribe via itunes.  If anyone has any suggestions to help speed up this process feel free to shoot me an email or make a comment in the comments section.

Chicago Fire vs. DC United @ DC.

Real Salt Lake vs. Seattle Sounders FC @ Seattle.  Props to my boy Nate Jaqua for scoring his first goal of the season!

Toronto FC vs. Columbus Crew @ Columbus.  *This is not official video of the highlights.  Looks like a fan captured a PK moment on home video. Very cool to see it from a fan’s perspective.  Watch how the crowd erupts after the goal!!

These were just a few of the highlights from the weekend I could find.  Tomorrow I will post the nominees for goal of the week.  Stay tuned.
