    He is playing his final regular season home game on Saturday against San Jose so Seattle is using the game to pay tribute to this American soccer legend. 60,000 tickets have been sold so I'm sure this will be a fitting and much deserved send-off. Glad he played for Fulham in my favorite season of them all - so far.

    What a great career and helped pave the way for Americans overseas. As a Timbers fan the Sounders have been the archrival for 30+ years, but you have to give it up for the support they give their team.

    Great Escape memories; His amazing save on Petrov(?) v Man City kept it at 2-2 and led to the amazing Kamara winner.

    When we win the World Cup (and I believe we will, eventually), it will be because of trailblazers like KK. A great keeper and a priceless asset to American soccer. I hope we use his knowledge, wisdom and experience well. He richly deserves a huge sendoff.

    Over 64K for his final game, and apparently he made some great saves in a 2-1 victory. What a sendoff for his final regular season match.

    A huge thumbs down for soccernet's MLS coverage, you would think that this would have warranted front page news or even a sidebar headline, but that stupid Beckham to Leicester headline from 3 weeks is still there. I had to hunt around to find the report...pathetic :evil:

    ESPN Soccernet is for the eurosnobs; horrible MLS and US National team coverage. you can click on the link for MLS and still see EPL headlines. Frankly, I dont know why they bother.


    It was a very nice tribute to Keller. Well done Seattle.
