Steve Zakuani isn’t going to play for the Seattle Sounders this year. If you love charity games, that’s a great thing, as it means the Zakuani and Friends charity match is back. On Sunday, July 2 (tickets are available) , a handful of former United States National Team stars, Sounders and Seattle legends will take the field. The current confirmed players list is great — Steve Zakuani, Eddie Johnson, Brian Ching, Chad Ochocinco (a late scratch in ‘16), and Marshawn Lynch.
UPDATE: This remains Lynch's plan, despite coming out of retirement to play fir the Oakland Raiders.
