Sounders game

After we were done picking raspberries, on Saturday, we then drove down to Seattle for the Sounders game. This is the third game we've been to this season. They're so much fun! The crowd chants, cheers, jeers and stands for most of the game. The only time our section sat down was at halftime or for an injury. Count it - ninety minutes of standing for active participation in the game. There are special synchronized claps and chants that are unique to the Sounders games. Not only that, the majority of fans are decked out in Sounder's gear, and most are wearing the token scarf too. It's unlike other American sports. It's very European. The fan support for the Sounders far surpases all other Major League Soccer teams too. If you ever get the chance to go, do it. You won't regret it. The sounders won 2-1.

I'm jealous. I did watch that game on TV, though.
