SEATTLE -- Snubbed from a World Cup camp invite by
Nigeria, Obafemi Martins was determined not to sulk about
missing out on a trip to Brazil.
Jersey/">Toni Kroos Germany Jersey . Martins said
earlier this week his World Cup is the next two months
playing for the Seattle Sounders. And it started with his
finest goal since joining Major League Soccer. "I just
want to score goals," Martins said. "Thats what I did and
Im glad." Martins scored in the eighth minute to give the
Sounders a 1-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on
Saturday night as both teams began a possible two-month
stretch with some of the top players in the league off
competing at the World Cup. Martins goal will be in the
discussion for best of the season as the year progresses.
His goal came from a shallow angle just 4 yards off the
end line. Instead of settling Gonzalo Pinedas pass,
Martins chipped the one-hopper with his left foot over
San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch and just inside the far
post. It was the fifth goal of the season for Martins.
Instead of the usual backflip that has accompanied his
previous goals, Martins simply shook his head possibly a
little surprised his difficult attempt found the net.
"Its an athletic ability. You cant teach that. Its
something that somebody has," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid
said. "Its definitely as good a goal thats been scored
here." Busch said shots from that shallow an angle
usually end up coming at the near post or end up on top
of the net. "So now he finds the back post. Tip your hat
to him. Nothing you can do," Busch said. "Doesnt matter
who you are or where you play, thats a good goal." The
Sounders (8-3-1), who remained the MLS points leader,
opened the whole stadium for the first time this year and
drew 49,746, the largest crowd for any MLS game this
season. Seattle was without three U.S. World Cup
hopefuls, while the Earthquakes were minus two. Clint
Dempsey, Brad Evans and DeAndre Yedlin were gone for
Seattle and San Jose (2-4-4) played without Chris
Wondolowski and Clarence Goodson. Also gone for the
Earthquakes was Honduran hopeful Victor Bernardez. The
Sounders could have been without Martins as well, but he
was not selected to join Nigeria for its World Cup camp.
Teaming with Dempsey at the top of Seattles attack,
Martins has a resume this season that would have been
worthy of a call. Instead hes being asked to be the
offensive catalyst for Seattle with Dempsey gone. Seattle
controlled the match and likely should have scored two or
three more times if not for stellar goalkeeping by Busch.
He stopped attempts from Lamar Neagle twice in a seven-
minute span of the second half and turned away Osvaldo
Alonsos attempt in the 84th minute. "My job is to make
saves and keep us in the game. I did my job," Busch said.
All the shots being peppered toward Busch made for a
quiet night at the other end for Seattles Stefan Frei.
With Wondolowski and Bernardez gone, the Earthquakes were
missing seven of the 11 goals they have scored this
season. The only player in San Joses starting lineup with
a goal was midfielder Cordell Cato. San Joses only
official shot on goal came on a free kick in the 90th
minute from Khari Stephenson that Frei smothered. It was
the second shutout of the season for Seattle and
important after giving up five goals last Sunday to New
England. "The commitment of the team this week after last
week was playing to zero," Schmid said.

football more - Manchester United or Manchester City?
That was just one hot topic on the Sunday Supplement,
ahead of the Premier League finale.City are in the
driving seat to clinch the fourth and final Champions
League place and need just a point at Swansea to ensure
incoming boss Pep Guardiola will lead his new side into
Europes top club competition next term. Louis van Gaal
knows his side must win and hope for a favour from their
arch-rivals Manchester United must win and hope City slip
up if they are to snatch a spot that would be a huge
boost to Louis van Gaals hopes of remaining at the Old
Trafford helm.
