Sounders FC signs Ljungberg

SEATTLE -- Former Swedish national team captain Fredrik Ljungberg (LUNE-berg) has signed with the Seattle Sounders FC. He's the fourth player signed by the expansion Major League Soccer team.

Ljungberg was introduced during a news conference Tuesday at the team's home stadium, Qwest Field. He is the Sounders' designated player, a rule designed to allow MLS teams to sign one international player with only a small portion of their salary counting against the salary cap.

The midfielder previously played for Arsenal and West Ham United in the English Premier League. He's a two-time player of the year in Sweden and has played in two World Cups.

solid purchase. Ljungberg is a good player

He'll do well with MLS style. He's strong, fast, direct, and technical. Good for Seattle.

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song

Ooh, yeah, yeah
At last
the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

I found a dream
that I could speak to
A dream that I
can call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh, yeah, yeah

You smile
you smile
Ooh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

[Suprah]

calm down sunshine

[Keyan]

yeah i don't doubt that he will become the most effective player brought from overseas to the mls.. the guy is definitely an all around player

[mehdi13]

oh god...

[G0happy]

The funny thing is that he said he is doing this to make MLS football famous, thats a load of bs. Beckham meant that, but as if Freddie wants to make American soccer famous.

[Farhad-7]

another career ruined...

[chuck bass]

a huge mistake by ljungberg, he can do way better. the mls is a joke

He sucks! He injured like....35 games of 38 games of one season...and when he plays, he just runs and complains.....he suuucks and he just care about how he looks and the money ...
