Sounders FC's goal is simple: Win MLS Cup championship

TUKWILA — Even an MLS offseason known for being painfully short couldn't end soon enough for some Sounders FC players. Not after the team suffered its worst disappointment in an early 2010 playoff exit.

The two-month wait to get back to action ended Tuesday with an energized start to training camp at the Starfire Sports Complex.

"Those of us who walked off the field at the Home Depot Center in November, we'd been looking forward to this day for a while," said midfielder Steve Zakuani, referencing a season-ending loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Western Conference semifinals.

The goal for Seattle in Year 3 is a familiar one: win an MLS Cup championship. A group of rookies and invitees new to training will have to quickly learn what's expected from the trophy-hungry club.
