Seattle Sounders defender Chad Marshall is no shrinking violet on the pitch—he’s loud, he’s tough, and he’ll fight for every single tackle for 90 minutes straight. Teammate Herculez Gomez said that Marshall has a “nasty” side, but it’s only ever seen on the pitch. In the locker room and beyond, Marshall is pretty much the opposite: a goofy prankster, encouraging teammate, and when it comes to talking about himself—actually a bit shy and humble. “I’m not a ‘talk-about-me’ kinda guy,” Marshall said. “I’m not super comfortable talking about myself. I think it means more when other people talk about you.
