Soony Saad makes MLS debut
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.

Man City would only pay, like, 35 mil for Soony.
August 17th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
stick with SKC
August 17th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
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.

against josh gatt 3 times while i was in high school, great player, poor attitude.
August 17th, 2011 at 11:19 PM ^
that guy's gonna be a star
August 17th, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
To his brother hamoody? He is no longer on the team but I can't find any info on what happened
August 17th, 2011 at 11:56 PM ^
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?
August 17th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
All he does is score goals. Paging Jurgen Klinsmann...(or more likely Thomas Rongen)

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.
August 18th, 2011 at 8:44 AM ^
Or scoring shit tons of goals? Or being the best player in soccer Michigan has ever had (as a freshman!).
August 18th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
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.
August 18th, 2011 at 3:43 AM ^
The kid is damn good.
August 18th, 2011 at 10:09 AM ^
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)
August 18th, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
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.

Edit: Supposed to be a reply to the above poster talking about Soony's international apps.

Good for him. Happy to see another Wolverine succeed.
