Freddie and owner Joe Roth, right, aren't smiling much right now.
After yesterday’s rousing discussion about AEG head Tim Leiweke, it was quite surprising to find that those comments were tame to what was said to the media in the past 24 hours about the MLS and the prospects of a strike.
While player reps from the union are set to gather and discuss options, the rhetoric has hit a new high — or low — with snotty barbs from Seattle Sounders owner Joe Roth and another shot from Leiweke.
This sounds a little familiar.

Living up to his gnarly word?
Freddie Ljungberg has announced that he will be returning to the Seattle Sounders for the upcoming MLS season. This presumes there will actually be a season, but that’s beside the point as Ljungberg was happy to announce on his blog that “IT FEELS VERY NICE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP MY WORD” (why is Freddie yelling?).
Gee, thanks Freddie for living up to your word, as nobody else was keeping you from doing so. In fact, you have a contract through the 2010 season and when you decided not to show up for the beginning of training camp this Monday, you weren’t really keeping your word. Yes, you blame a “communication error due to the business discussions” but what were those ‘business discussions’ about? Seeking a transfer to a European club that would pay you what you felt was fair and was of significant stature for you? Looks like that didn’t work out for you. READ MORE

Get used to this sight Seattle. Freddie Ljungberg, underwear model extraordinaire, is the Seattle Sounders designated player signing. Undoubtedly, he will prove to be a sage acquisition that will help the Sounders reach above the depths of last place in its inaugural season. He will provide star power, skill and will be an ever-present. Or maybe not.
Ljungberg just went under the knife for a torn labrum and will be out 10-12 weeks. How did Ljungberg get this injury? I don’t know. But, I do know he hasn’t played since Euro ‘08. His former club West Ham bought him out prior to the start of the EPL (Suck it Barclay’s) season.
If you recall another underwear model designated player signing started off his MLS career injury plagued. How’s that one turned out?
Maybe Ljungberg is angling to get a loan deal with Sampdoria.
