Soony Saad made his MLS debut in the 63rd minute of Sporting Kansas City's match vs the Portland Timbers today. He scored a goal in the 72nd minute.
Also, today's his birthday, so happy birthday to a former wolverine. Too bad his goal put the icing on the game against my Timbers, but it is good to see him do well.
Congrats Soony!
Hopefully he'll be a MLS star

That is great news. I'm
That is great news. I'm really happy for him. Too bad I missed this game.
Not to hijack this thread, but did any of you see Josh Gatt play in high school for Catholic Central HS? He now plays professional soccer for Molde in the Norweigien league. I think he is going to figure into our next WC run.

Anybody know what happened
To his brother hamoody? He is no longer on the team but I can't find any info on what happened
from what I know
from several students, he doesn't really do homework/go to class--I'll stop there cuz I'd rather not MGoRuin the kid. So... it sounds like he could be... academically ineligible?

All he does is score goals. Paging Jurgen Klinsmann...(or more likely Thomas Rongen)
Happy to see Michigan well
Happy to see Michigan well represented in pro soccer but I have to say I was never a fan of the way Soony conducted himself on the pitch. However, he is still young and hopefully he can mature and find success in the sport.
What you mean him being awesome?
Or scoring shit tons of goals? Or being the best player in soccer Michigan has ever had (as a freshman!).
He only got the job because he's a Michigan Man not because he was the best. Is that what Michigan is all about? You do the best, you get the job. This MM meme is crap.
Josh Gatt
It's not that he has a bad attitude it's just he lets his temper get the best of him at times. I would know. I played with him at CC.
I bleed blue.
Ridiculous
The kid is damn good.
Good for Soony
Glad to see he scored in his first game, like the OP mentioned, even if it came at the expense of my Timbers. Hopefully he can keep growing as a player to catch the eye of the national team or bigger clubs. I do not remember hearing he was apart of the U17 or U20 national teams (I did google to check)

Soony
played 1 game for the U20 team last year in December against Canada in Florida. 2 links confirm his involvement in the game which he had 78 minutes played and 1 goal.

Good for him. Happy to see
Good for him. Happy to see another Wolverine succeed.
