Could it be the perfect compromise? Paul Allen’s First and Goal registered the domain name seattlesoundersfc.net on March 31st. This coincides with the end of the voting period during which fans were asked to choose from three uninspired names or write in their favorite. We’ll know Monday at noon whether the overwhelming push to name the new MLS franchise in honor of the current Seattle Sounders was combined with the more globally recognizable FC (which, for the uninitiated, stands for football club).

And if we’re really lucky, there will be two announcements tomorrow [seattlest].

Note: Ness at Seattle MLS should be solving murder mysteries not writing about fledgling soccer teams.
