07/29/2010 - Renton, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seattle Sounders FC signed Uruguay national team midfielder Alvaro Fernandez, the Major League Soccer club announced on Thursday.
The 24-year-old Fernandez, who will be Seattle's third designated player, joining Freddie Ljungberg and Blaise Nkufo, played four matches for Uruguay during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
"Alvaro is a versatile player who can play in a number of midfield positions," Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. "He brings good energy to the game as well as World Cup experience. He can score and also set-up others."
"I'm very excited to be playing in the U.S. because the football has grown a lot in the last few years and keeps getting better," Fernandez said. "Seattle is beautiful and I think it's the ideal place to be with my family. All these things helped in making my decision."
On top of his national team experience, Fernandez is a veteran of top-flight leagues in Uruguay, Mexico, Portugal and Chile.
"My goals are always the same whenever I join a team: try to help, on and off the field; help the club achieve its goals; and, obviously, win championships," Fernandez said. "I believe I can contribute through my experience. I describe myself as a fast, smooth player, who can play on either flank. I am strong in the air, and I work very hard."
"Alvaro is experienced internationally and he has demonstrated a tremendous work rate and great tactical awareness," Sounders technical director Chris Henderson said. "He likes to connect passes, possesses good pace and moves well off the ball."
Fernandez' signing will be finalized upon receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Per MLS and club policy, terms were not disclosed.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
