Everton trained right alongside the Seattle Sounders during Friday's session.

And the day ended with a trip to the Seattle Mariners baseball game for some of the players.

Freddie Ljungberg and Kasey Keller were part of the Sounders' training session and Ljungberg chatted to Tim Cahill and Steve Round afterwards.

Keller also spoke with Cahill and Phil Neville for a while as the Blues waited for the team bus.

The training session seemed a fun one for the players, with lots of shooting and a small-sided game to finish.

Brazilian striker Jo looked razor-sharp in the shooting, while fellow forwards Louis Saha and James Vaughan were equally impressive.

A fair few Evertonians watched the session, and there were some familiar faces from the previous evening's meet-and-greet with David Moyes and his staff in a nearby Seattle bar.

After training the Everton squad posed for photos and signed autographs, with Cahill and Yakubu stopping their borrowed equipment buggy to chat with fans.

In the evening, some of the squad headed to Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team.

The Mariners were taking on the Cleveland Indians and Cahill, Neville, Carlo Nash, Jose Baxter and James Wallace thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.

The lads even appeared on the big screen and were warmly welcomed by the home fans!
