   Hello Freddie. Just discovered your blog. I’m looking forward to your insight, keep them coming!

   By the way, you should do some more promotion, because it was merely by chance that I learned about your site here. I’m sure there’s a lot of Sounders fans who’d be interested in this blog but know nothing of it.

   Freddie, what a fantastic effort in the KC game. Great poise in beating out the KC defender and then gaining the open space to find Jaqua for the winning goal. Your effort absolutely earned a playoff spot for Sounders FC. You truly deserved the player of the week recognition. In all fqirness to you and your great contribution all season, I just want you to know what an honor it is to have you part of our inaugural season.

   Sincerely,
   Ryan

   Your best match in Green so far. Unbelievable steal in the corner and then to sneak it through to Jaqua past their defender and keeper?

   Unreal.

   Great stuff Freddie!

   Yes, Freddie was all over the place in KC, dominating the opposition. Best play I’ve seen from him all season, and when it’s the most important as well. The Sounders need that higher seed.

   It WAS so close. The low trajectory and pace made it difficult for the goalie to defend… and ultimately forced him to come off his line a bit and out of position just enough for Tyrone to knock it in. We were wondering if you were going to try that with the small pitch. You’re due for another goal… I thought that was going to be it.

   I love that you started your own blog. It’s nice to hear your from you! You were brilliant in the last game (as usual) Thank you for bringing such a wonderful class of soccer to the US. We are so blessed to have a player like you in Seattle. I hope you’ll be around for many years to come. You’ve made a soccer hooligan out of me, and I thank you for that

   Hälsningar från Sverige! Vi saknar dig härborta

   Sorry guys for wrong languages! Swedish

   Tjena Freddie, Halmstabo här!

   Inte säkert att du svarar men, Har en riktigt nyfiken fråga och hoppas att du tar någon minut att svara på detta.

   Kommer du att avrunda din fantastiska fotbollskärriär i HBK? Jag hade gärna sett dig där och tror inte jag är den enda.

   MVH John från Halmstad på söder för övrigt, lycka till i matcherna!

    Tjena Fredrik!

    Det glädjer mig verkligen att du lyckas bra i MLS. Men nu är det så att du måste komma tillbaka till landslaget. Du saknas enormt mycket. Landslaget har ingen mittfältare som springer i djupled och vi har ingen riktig pådrivare i laget. Du har ju några år kvar och det skulle glädja hela den svenska befolkningen om du kom tillbaka för att hjälpa Sverige till EM 2012 och därefter kanske rentav vinna hela skiten Hoppas du tänker om… må väl!

    3rd. Thank you for the tattoo’s background hahaha i love it!!! =) …

    SaludosS!!! =) Chaooo!! (sorry for my BAD english!!)

    Freddie I hope it’s you who writes this blog, congratulations and good luck in the playoffs, I am a big fan of yours, I love you very much. Say something about the rumors of a loan transfer to Arsenal in January, I am very anxious to see you back playing in the premier league and walking the streets of Mayfair. kisses. Tania

    Is it normal in US-soccer that the defending theme not have players at guarding the posts on corners?
    Never seen this kind of defence in europe.

15. gunde on October 21, 2009 10:05 am

    Tjena chefen. Hoppas allt är ok. Jäkligt trevligt forum. Trodde jag skulle dö av skratt när jag läste att coachen inte fattade att du hade fått en migränattack. Kör hårt jag hör av mig snart igen. /Gunde

    Otroligt kul att se hur stor du blivit i USA. Man sitter och ryser av stolthet när man hör hur uppskattad du är.

    Som svensk önskar jag såklart att du kommer tillbaks till vårt landslag. We need som fresh air.

    Det känns på ett sätt tråkigt, att en utav våra två bästa fotbollsspelare just nu spelar så långt borta. Glädjen sprids inte lika lätt hit nu, som när du spelade i europa. Dock verkar du sprida den glädjen hos seattle nu.

    Det känns alltid konstigt, att man själv vet så väl vem du är, när du inte har en aning om vilka dina fans är. Nu hoppas jag i alla fall att jag visat vad du betyder.

    ps. såg dig faktiskt i Helsingborg i sommras, det var en parkeringsvakt som hade skyndat sig för att ge dig böter. Och du var inte glad, haha. Och parkeringsvakter, de är några riktiga glädjespridare!

    I need to learn Swedish so I can pick up
    what the peeps are layin’ down

    Daddy-T, even in America we are taught to always defend the posts on corners! That right-side defender for KC was TERRIBLE. Zakuani made runs behind him again and again, and then Freddie made him look so silly he was subbed out at half…

    It was also the fault of the goalie to allow a rebound directly in front of the goal. Keller never gives up rebounds like that, he always punches wide.

    Great job coming from behind and winning! We had over 150 people packed in the bar all going crazy!

    - det hade varit ett minne det!!

    that drive you made up the right side to get the ball to jaqua was nothing short of AMAZING, freddie. that was probably the play of the year.

    great game from you! hopefully you can help montero mature through all this, i know his confidence gets down at times
