Sounders' voices heard 1:44pm

So it looks like the Seattle Sounders will be the name of the new MLS franchise after all.

According to EUfootball.biz,

“The club conducted a fan ballot for the name, given the options of Seattle FC, Seattle Alliance and Seattle Republic. More than 14,500 voted online, but more than half of the votes were write-in, and the majority of those favoured Sounders…The write-in name received 20 percent more votes than the other choices.”

A victory for the fans of the MLS and no Beckham in sight.
