American soccer looks like it'll get another boost in the briefs with the announcement that Swedish Arsenal footballer and Calvin Klein underwear model Freddie Ljungberg is joining Seattle's team:
“Seattle Sounders FC has a news conference set for 11 a.m. today at Qwest Field, at which the club is expected to announce the signing of Swedish star Fredrik Ljungberg as its designated player. Ljungberg is a midfielder who has played for West Ham United and Arsenal in the English Premier League. Major League Soccer's designated player rule allows each team to sign one international player, with no more than $400,000 of the player's salary counting against the team's salary cap. The MLS cap this season is $2.2 million, according to Sounders FC's Web site.”
